The Larkinson Clan!
No matter what a family member thought about the separation, many of them became excited when Ves finally announced the founding of a new entity of Larkinsons!
Adopting the guise of a clan represented a clear and significant departure from their old ways!
Taking on this new identity definitely transformed the so-called 'new family' into a group that could stand on its own!
The change came with many implications. Though most of them were symbolic or implied, each of them mattered to Ves and those who wanted the Larkinson Clan to prosper.
In legal terms, a family was not that different from a clan. There was no law or rule that governed the usage of these terms.
However, over the course of human history, an informal distinction emerged between families, clans, dynasties, houses, tribes and so on. Each of these words came to describe a different structure with common customs.
