The three lines of the Lhiannan have long been divided and have identified the others of their clan as of the blood, but woefully misguided.
The line of the Warrior
The Warrior line of the Lhiannan reached its peak during the Gaulish and British rebellions against the Romans, however with their defeat they, their ghouls and supporters were largely wiped out. Few of the Warrior line remain now, even by Lhiannan standards.
Those that have survived strive to fight back against the ancient enemies who wiped out the cultures they lived with. The Romans and Greek cultures are particularly hated, as well as the Ventrue, Toreador and Lasombra clans.
Ultimately the Warrior line now has no set objective, much like the Cappadocians they see the death of their clan looming on the horizon. However unlike the graverobbers they are far from content to await the inevitable, instead they fight back against what physical enemies they can, scoring the occasional victory, but joining their clanmates in final death more often than not against the other, more numerous, kindred.
Warrior Lhiannan's religion centres on prowess in combat, strength and skill; the Crone's name is often associated or substituted with powerful and ancient names like the Morrigan, Macha and Epona. Most of the males of the Lhiannan are found in this line of the Crone, their sabbats are usually violent - but predictable. A Warrior Lhiannan beaten in combat often acknowledges that the victor should be treated as an equal, if not of the clan or their superior if of the line of the Crone.
Warrior Lhiannan have not helped the reputation of their clan with their common, gruesome practise of collecting a token of some kind from each of the enemies they have bested, usually the head the head for that is where the power of an enemy is believed to reside.
The line of the Druid
The time of the Druid line of the Lhiannan has now long past, around 800-300 BC theirs was the strongest of the Crone's lines. At several times it seemed that they might make the clan whole again, as was their hope, under one high Druid who would speak for the clan and them all, so once again they would become a clan united.
The invasion of Gaul by the Romans shattered their hopes and as they were slowly driven west along with the remainder of their clan towards Northern Gaul more and more of them fell. Finally in the British Isles their last hopes for the future of the clan were lost when the Romans invaded Britain and attacked their island retreat of Anglesey in AD 59, where the last of the Druids had been attempting to organise a revival for of their clan.
Now in their last few years the Druids, who'd always tried to embrace those whom had the art of prophecy, can only see despair in their future omens, and have resigned themselves to the failure and eventual end of their clan.
Portents, visions and prophecy are the key to the Lhiannan Druid's religion; signs and omens can be read from virtually anything. Some of this line of the Lhiannan have become so enmeshed in their rituals and visions that they have side-tracked wildly from their original beliefs; stability of vision was once the key to the Lhiannan Druids' goals, to seek out those of the Lhiannan Druids and work for a common goal and belief. However since the death of their small circle of leaders most have rejected the words of other Druids as fouled and misinterpreted, and that only their beliefs are truly those of the crone. This has only served to fragment the once near-united line even more.
The line of the gatherer
In these twilight years of the Lhiannan the lowly gatherer line of the Lhiannan has become the most numerous, although with the line of the Crone becoming as few as it is now it is little cause for celebration for them.
Always backward and shy of civilisation, even for Lhiannan, the gatherer line has survived merely because they are the ones hidden whilst the Warriors fight on and the Druids surrender to their fate. They have no particular goal other than for the protection of what they see as the natural order of the world.
In ages past before the Lhiannan were hunted as they are now it was not unknown for a gatherer Lhiannan to gain the same sort of grudging respect from a Lupine that a Gangrel might hope to achieve. But now as the hatred grows stronger for their clan they have withdrawn and hidden themselves where they can to areas shunned by the peasants as haunted. But often they find these areas are domains of the Lupines, Fae or worse...
This line of Lhiannan appear to have the most relaxed attitudes where the religion of the Crone is concerned; but their apparent lack of concern for ritual or celebrations is because it permeates every moment of their unlives. Gatherer Lhiannan would never call themselves such, they see the other two lines as the ones that have wandered from the true path of the Crone, and call themselves the 'True' Lhiannan. They despise the cultivation of land nearly as much as they do the cities. To them anything that detracts or damages the natural land is a crime against the Crone. Gatherer Lhiannan nearly always maintain a small area of watched tended plants and flowers, and although they will not directly interfere with the growth of any of these they will "encourage" them to grow a certain way and remove invading species; such painstakingly careful work can take decades to realise.
