The value of family has weakened throughout the generations, leaving a large gap in our modern-day understanding in what it means to be a family, or our ancestors may have referred to it as a clan. This idea stems from different people being joined, either: by blood, or by purpose, to create a better immediate community. Throughout the Norse legends there are many clans that rally to the cause to support our ancestors in their quest for their future. Our ancestor’s, who lived those generations ago were not much different than we are today, as far as their need for family bonds.
