Clan feud

A Nilfeheim term for a state of prolonged mutual hostility, typically between two clans, characterized by violent assaults in revenge for previous injuries. Often at the end of a clan feud, the losing clan ceases to exist, with their remaining members and assets absorbed into the winning clan. In a few cases, both clans were virtually wiped out during the feud (see Skallagrimsson Clan and Hesten Clan). Occasionally, a clan feud will lead into a clan war.
