The Clan Sutherland (Agnesa: Clann Suthar), also known as the Suther Clan, is a Agnethe Clan which is ethnically Agnethe Highlanders. The Clan Sutherland is formed hundreds of years ago in the region of Dunbar and Sutherland. However, as there is no information available prior due to the lack of writings about the Clan, the oldest clan chief we know today is Martainn Sutharlainn as prior to that, there is no writings invented for the language. The current clan chieftain of the Clan Sutherland is Ailis Sutharlainn (Alice Sutherland). The Clan Sutherland Held different titles throughout their clan history. Their titles include: The Baronet of Dunbar, The Baronet of Sutherland, the Baron of Helmsdale, and Jarl of Rathonia.

Foundation

The formation of Clan Sutherland dates back hundreds of years, rooted in the rich history of the Dunbar and Sutherland regions of Northwest Almaris. The clan's origins are mostly nomadic with only a few settlements exist in the region.

The name Sutherland was originally named from the Agnesa word of Cataibh, meaning the people of the great cold. The name Sutherland itself is derived from the Old Norlandic words "suthr" and "land," meaning the southern land, even though they are located in one of the most northern region of Almaris. This could be due to the fact that Sutherland was the word to describe other non-Agnethe people, but for some unknown reason, the name is labelled to the Cataibh people.

The formation of Clan Sutherland traces its roots in Northwest Almaris, unfolding in the picturesque landscapes of the Dunbar and Sutherland regions. Established in the midst of a historical tapestry, the clan's early years were marked by deep connections to the land.

The genesis of Clan Sutherland was not without its challenges, and a significant chapter in its history unfolded after the devastating aftermath of the Great Avalanche of S.A. 14. This catastrophic event, often etched in the collective memory of the clan, brought about a series of events where the Sutherland people navigated the trials of resettlement.

History

Clan Sutherland are the natives of a region north of current day Norland called Dunbar (Barton) and Sutherland, where the Clan was based until the Grand Avalanche on year 14 of the Second Age.
