The Clanless were a sub-group of the Drakonus that were generally comprised of petty criminals and misfits. Prior to Rykar joining the Golden Empire, any Drakonus was able to become a Clanless by proper paperwork from their family. The Clan Leader was then able to decide if the Drakonus in question would have their Clan name stripped from them or not. Beings could be stripped of their Clan status not only for crimes, but also for actions perceived to bring shame upon their Clans.
