Most of the clan names do not show on the maps published in Invader or Conspirator and are taken from the text of the books. Sources are noted. Also, due to the complex atevi genealogy, notable clan members will typically have ancestry from multiple clans and may also be born to one clan but be considered a primary member of a different clan.
