Home
The Jai clan lives in the Blackflame Empire on the Ashwind continent. The clan Patriarch has a palace on Shiryu Mountain in Serpent’s Grave. The Jai clan also has territory out in the Desolate Wilds, a large desert on the western border of the empire.
Status
The Jai clan has a history of rising to fame and falling again. They have done this repeatedly. In book 3, it was a prominent high-status clan with a palace in Serpent’s Grave, in the Blackflame Empire. The Jai Patriarch Jai Daishou was an old man, and much too proud. He was ranked the seventh most powerful Underlord in the empire. He felt Eithan Arelius — only ranked eleven — didn’t show him enough respect. The two clashed violently. (Book 3, Blackflame)
The clan lost their status when Patriarch Jai Daishou broke imperial and Akuran law, and opened the doors to the forbidden western Labyrinth. The labyrinth can attract a Dreadgod, as it did when the doors were open too long during the age of the black dragons, igniting the Dread Wars, according to the draconic records. See book 4, Skysworn, and see Ashwind Continent History.
So, emperor Naru Huan exiled the Jai clan to the Desolate Wilds.

Path
Jai clan members follow the Path of the Stellar Spear, which is a weaker variation of the original Path of the Broken Star. They all have metal hair as a Goldsign. Like a helmet. However, because of his Goldsign snake Remnant, Jai Long practices something else, a unique variation. Likewise, Jai Chen follows a unique Path of her own.
