Paul Hatcher's clan is mostly called the clan of residues due to the lack of their ristics. But because of this offensive name, none of the clan members call the clan that. Most of them only refer to it as the clan or the village.
The modernization is also very weak. There are no shops, even currency, or economics. The only important thing in the Clan of Residues is to have enough food for everybody to survive.
The only way this clan learns from the outside world is through scrap finds. Any garbage or field residues such as leaves or roots are thrown away by other clans into their homes.
The nearby clans have no pity on them. In their opinion, all those in this clan are bad people because the god Neshar gave them powers and thus made them godless.
But sometimes the villagers also find good things in the garbage they get. For example, the young Paul found natural history books at the time, which he hid from the others in order to read them by himself.
The only reason why this clan is still wanting to live, lies in the garbage of the other clans.
Finds like blunt knives, broken cups and, of course, clothing is the reason why this clan gets up every morning and works in the field until evening.
