Revision as of 11:28, 15 September 2016
The Coalition, or Kongeda (Trigedasleng), is an alliance of all twelve grounder clans who reside in the Tondc-Mount Weather area and the Eastern United States, formed by Commander Lexa to fight against Mount Weather.
It was originally assumed that all Grounders were a part of the same clan. It was revealed by Lincoln, however, that there is more than one clan. A more definite number of clans is given by Gustus in "Remember Me"; while discussing with Lexa the alliance with the Sky People, he mentions that she is the reason all twelve clans united to fight against Mount Weather and without her, the Coalition would fail. Prior to that, the Ice Nation was the biggest threat to the alliance of the twelve clans.
Since the Grounders don't use last names, their clan name is used instead. [1] Clan names appear to be geographically derived.[2] Every village within a clan has a leader who has earned his or her place at the top through acts of strength and ferocity and through mentor-ship from previous leaders (as in the case of Indra, the Chief of Tondc).[3] Every clan also has a leader who follows the Commander.[4] The clans choose their leaders differently, but most are chosen after the old leader has died.[5] Lexa mentions in "Survival of the Fittest" that her spirit would find a new Commander after she dies.[6]
History
Commander Lexa, played an important role in uniting the 12 Grounder Clans and forming the Coalition and became the first Commander of the 12 Clans. In "Remember Me", while discussing with Lexa the alliance with the Sky People, he mentions that she is the reason all twelve clans united to fight against Mount Weather and without her, the Coalition would fail. Prior to that, the Ice Nation was the biggest threat to the alliance of the twelve clans.
The Skaikru briefly joined the Coalition under Chancellor Griffin, with former Chancellor Marcus Kane receiving the Coalition brand on his forearm. The next day, the new Chancellor, Charles Pike, rejected their joining of the Coalition and, along with Bellamy Blake and Hannah Green, massacred the peace-keeping force the Commander had sent to Arkadia to protect them from Azgeda.
After Mount Weather, Queen Nia of the Ice Nation challenges Lexa's position as the Coalition Commander and selects her son Roan to fight Lexa in a Trial by Combat.
Trikru
- Main article: Trikru
The Woods Clan, also known as People of the Woods, Trigedakru, Trikru, or Tree People, are a group of Grounders who inhabit the expanse of Virginia's woodlands. Their borders also extend to the ruins of what once was Washington, DC and near the ruins of the Lincoln Memorial. In Remember Me, it is revealed that Lincoln's village is named Tondc, probably due to a damaged sign nearby that reads "Washington DC 10 Miles."
Lexa, the former Commander of the 12 Clans, was from the Woods Clan.[7]
Azgeda
- Main article: Azgeda
The Ice Nation, also known as Azgeda, is a clan ruled by King Roan (formerly Queen Nia). This clan is currently allied with the Woods Clan, but they were previously at war.
This is the clan who captured Lexa's girlfriend, Costia, thinking she had information about the Commander. They tortured, killed, and decapitated her. Lexa, however, forced them into the Coalition to help fight Mount Weather and the Mountain Men.
Ontari, the pretender to the Commander's throne, was from the Ice Nation.
Floukru
- Main article: Floukru
The Boat People, also known as Floudon Kru or Floukru,[8] is a clan ruled by Luna.[9] This clan is allied with the Woods Clan and, according to Lincoln in "I Am Become Death," they live "east to the sea, then across it." Lincoln met Luna on his travels.[10]
This is the clan where Lincoln was going to take Octavia to in order to keep out of the conflict between the 100 and Grounders. After he rescued Octavia from the battle, they were on their way there in the Season Two premiere but never made it. In "Wanheda (Part 1)," it is alluded that once the Commander placed the kill order on Lincoln's head, Luna was no longer able to take them in.
Sankru
The Desert Clan, also known as Sankru or Sangedakru, is where Caris is from.[11] Little else is known about this clan, although it does seem to be separate from the Nomadic Grounders in The Dead Zone.
Notable Members:
Yujleda
The Broadleaf Clan, also known as Yujleda, is where Ambassador Uzac is from.
Notable Members:
Other Clans
Notes and Trivia
- The forging of the coalition as well as pre-coalition wars involved a lot of bloodshed.[12][13]
- The Coalition was brought about after Lexa forced Ice Nation hand.[14]
- The Coalition capital is in Polis, where the coalition member ambassadors assembled and the commander held court.
- Members of the coalition were bound by a covenant, and were expected to fight in its honor.
- According to the laws of the Coalition, only a unanimous vote by the ambassadors or death can remove the Commander.
- In Watch the Thrones, Lexa's rule was challenged by the Ice Nation, when Queen Nia declares a vote of no confidence in her. All Ambassadors of the original 12 clans stood up in support.
