}}The '''Coalition''', also called '''''Kongeda''''' in ''[[Trigedasleng]]'', was an alliance of twelve [[Grounder]] clans and the [[Sky People]] who reside in the [[Earth|Eastern United States]]. The twelve clans were brought together by Commander [[Lexa]] to fight against [[Mount Weather]].
   
  +
Since the Grounders don't use last names, their clan name is used instead. Every clan has a leader and each village within a clan has a leader. All twelve clans follow the [[Commander]].<ref>https://twitter.com/JRothenbergTV/status/610838295614898176</ref> The clans choose their leaders differently, but most are chosen after the old leader has died.<ref>https://twitter.com/JRothenbergTV/status/633125474265206784</ref> Village leaders earn his or her place at the top through acts of strength and ferocity (as in the case of [[Indra]], the Chief of [[Tondc]]) and through mentor-ship from previous leaders.<ref>http://aaronginsburg.tumblr.com/post/112269787511/aaron-love-the-show-to-pieces-question-though</ref> The Commander is chosen through a [[Conclave]].

The '''Coalition''', or '''Kongeda''' ''<small>([[Trigedasleng]])</small>'' is the collective name for the twelve clans who reside in the [[Tondc]]-[[Mount Weather]] area and the Eastern United States. 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 how she is the reason all twelve clans united to [[Mount Weather War|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.
  
   
  +
At the end of [[Season Four]], the remaining eleven clans (all of ''[[Floukru]]'' died) and the [[Sky People]] unite together into a single clan, entitled "''[[Wonkru]]''". Led by [[Octavia Blake]], they survive the [[Second Nuclear Apocalypse]] together within the [[Second Dawn Bunker]].

== History ==
−
The ''[[Skaikru]]'' briefly joined the Coalition under [[Abby|Chancellor Griffin]] with former Chancellor [[Kane|Marcus Kane]] receiving the Coalition brand on his forearm. The [[Timeline|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 [[Lexa|Commander]] had sent to [[Arkadia]] to protect them from ''[[Azgeda]]''.

  ⚫
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 about the alliance with the [[Sky People]], it is mentioned that she is the reason all twelve clans united to [[Mount Weather War|fight against Mount Weather]] and without her, the Coalition would fail. The [[Ice Nation]] was long considered the biggest threat to the alliance of the twelve clans.

[[File:S03e04 coaltion 13 clans.jpg|thumb|200px|Ambassadors of the 13 clans]]
  +
  +
After the destruction of [[Mount Weather]], the Coalition was shown to be highly unstable, and the clan ambassadors believe that Lexa is weak and unfit to rule. Aware she was losing control, Lexa killed an [[Ice Nation]] ambassador who questioned her. Subsequently, the Coalition attempted to remove Lexa from power with a unanimous vote by all clan members, which she circumvented by convincing the Sky People to join the Coalition. Convincing the Sky People she was their only hope for survival, despite her actions towards them during and after Mount Weather, Lexa secured their vote in the Coalition. The Coalition was unable to proceed with her removal. Former Chancellor [[Marcus Kane]] received the Coalition brand on his forearm under Chancellor [[Abby Griffin]].
  +
  +
The [[Timeline|next day]], the newly elected Chancellor, [[Charles Pike]], rejected their joining of the Coalition. He, along with his group including [[Bellamy Blake]] and [[Hannah Green]], killed the army Lexa had sent to [[Arkadia]] to prevent [[Azgeda]] from disobeying her and destroying the new clan, and with them her Coalition.
  +
  +
[[File:S03e04 Coalition Nia challange Lexa.jpg|thumb|200px|Nia challenges Lexa]]
  +
  +
During Season 3, Queen [[Nia]] of Azgeda challenged Lexa's position as the Coalition Commander and selected her son [[Roan]] to fight her in a Trial by Combat. Lexa won the trial, but instead of killing Roan, Lexa killed Queen [[Nia]] as she watched the fight. She then declared Roan King of Azgeda. The fracturing of the Coalition continued, as Lexa struggles to maintain her power.
  +
  +
Lexa was accidentally killed by [[Titus]], her adviser and the spiritual leader of the [[Flamekeepers]], and was succeeded by [[Ontari]] of Azgeda who had slaughtered the [[Nightblood]] children Lexa was training, to fight for the title. Ontari was then killed by [[A.L.I.E.]]
  +
  +
After A.L.I.E. was terminated, Azgeda takes over the rule of the Coalition. King Roan reinstated Skaikru as the thirteen clans and declared, "An attack against Skaikru is an attack against us all."
  +
  +
Later, the [[Grounders/Floukru|Floukru]] clan were wiped out after they went extinct, due to the Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS), leaving only 12 remaining clans left, including [[Sky People|Skaikru]].
  +
  +
After the [[Final Conclave]], [[Octavia Blake]] has united the remaining eleven clans and the [[Sky People]] into a new, one clan called, [[Wonkru]], with Octavia as their first leader.

[[File:Heda.jpg|thumb|126px|The emblem of the Commander.]]
  +
The '''Commander''', also known as '''''Heda''''' in ''[[Trigedasleng]]'', is the title, given to the user of the [[Flame]]. The Flame is a cybernetic implant created by [[Becca]]. She was the Flame's first user and the title "Commander" originated from the badge on her spacesuit when she descended to [[Earth]] from [[Polaris]] two years after the [[Nuclear Apocalypse]]. After her death, she became known as ''Bekka Pramheda'' ("Becca First Commander" in ''Trigedasleng'').
  +
  +
Since the Flame can only be implanted within [[Nightbloods]], they are the only ones able to become true Commanders. Grounders believe the Flame contains the "Spirit of the Commander" and that the spirit helps find the next Commander. In "[[Survival of the Fittest]]" Lexa mentions that after she dies, her spirit would find a new Commander.
  +
  +
Under [[Lexa]], the Commander became the leader of the Grounder Coalition of the twelve clans.
  +
  +
[[Madi]] is the final Commander, who became the leader of [[Wonkru]].

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 [[wikipedia:Virginia|Virginia's]] woodlands. Their borders also extend to the ruins of what once was [[wikipedia:Washington, D.C.|Washington, DC]] and near the ruins of the [[wikipedia:Lincoln_Memorial|Lincoln Memorial]]. In ''[[Remember Me]]'', it is revealed that Lincoln's village is named [[Tondc]], probably due to a damaged sign nearby that reads "''Washing'''''ton DC''''' 10 Miles''."

Revision as of 19:21, 4 February 2020

The Coalition, also called Kongeda in Trigedasleng, was an alliance of twelve Grounder clans and the Sky People who reside in the Eastern United States. The twelve clans were brought together by Commander Lexa to fight against Mount Weather.

Since the Grounders don't use last names, their clan name is used instead. Every clan has a leader and each village within a clan has a leader. All twelve clans follow the Commander.[1] The clans choose their leaders differently, but most are chosen after the old leader has died.[2] Village leaders earn his or her place at the top through acts of strength and ferocity (as in the case of Indra, the Chief of Tondc) and through mentor-ship from previous leaders.[3] The Commander is chosen through a Conclave.

At the end of Season Four, the remaining eleven clans (all of Floukru died) and the Sky People unite together into a single clan, entitled "Wonkru". Led by Octavia Blake, they survive the Second Nuclear Apocalypse together within the Second Dawn Bunker.

History

Colaition Lexa throne room

Lexa, first Commander of the Coalition in her throne room

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 about the alliance with the Sky People, it is mentioned that she is the reason all twelve clans united to fight against Mount Weather and without her, the Coalition would fail. The Ice Nation was long considered the biggest threat to the alliance of the twelve clans.

S03e04 coaltion 13 clans

Ambassadors of the 13 clans

After the destruction of Mount Weather, the Coalition was shown to be highly unstable, and the clan ambassadors believe that Lexa is weak and unfit to rule. Aware she was losing control, Lexa killed an Ice Nation ambassador who questioned her. Subsequently, the Coalition attempted to remove Lexa from power with a unanimous vote by all clan members, which she circumvented by convincing the Sky People to join the Coalition. Convincing the Sky People she was their only hope for survival, despite her actions towards them during and after Mount Weather, Lexa secured their vote in the Coalition. The Coalition was unable to proceed with her removal. Former Chancellor Marcus Kane received the Coalition brand on his forearm under Chancellor Abby Griffin.

The next day, the newly elected Chancellor, Charles Pike, rejected their joining of the Coalition. He, along with his group including Bellamy Blake and Hannah Green, killed the army Lexa had sent to Arkadia to prevent Azgeda from disobeying her and destroying the new clan, and with them her Coalition.

S03e04 Coalition Nia challange Lexa

Nia challenges Lexa

During Season 3, Queen Nia of Azgeda challenged Lexa's position as the Coalition Commander and selected her son Roan to fight her in a Trial by Combat. Lexa won the trial, but instead of killing Roan, Lexa killed Queen Nia as she watched the fight. She then declared Roan King of Azgeda. The fracturing of the Coalition continued, as Lexa struggles to maintain her power.

Lexa was accidentally killed by Titus, her adviser and the spiritual leader of the Flamekeepers, and was succeeded by Ontari of Azgeda who had slaughtered the Nightblood children Lexa was training, to fight for the title. Ontari was then killed by A.L.I.E.

After A.L.I.E. was terminated, Azgeda takes over the rule of the Coalition. King Roan reinstated Skaikru as the thirteen clans and declared, "An attack against Skaikru is an attack against us all."

Later, the Floukru clan were wiped out after they went extinct, due to the Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS), leaving only 12 remaining clans left, including Skaikru.

After the Final Conclave, Octavia Blake has united the remaining eleven clans and the Sky People into a new, one clan called, Wonkru, with Octavia as their first leader.

Commander

Main article: Commander
Heda

The emblem of the Commander.

The Commander, also known as Heda in Trigedasleng, is the title, given to the user of the Flame. The Flame is a cybernetic implant created by Becca. She was the Flame's first user and the title "Commander" originated from the badge on her spacesuit when she descended to Earth from Polaris two years after the Nuclear Apocalypse. After her death, she became known as Bekka Pramheda ("Becca First Commander" in Trigedasleng).

Since the Flame can only be implanted within Nightbloods, they are the only ones able to become true Commanders. Grounders believe the Flame contains the "Spirit of the Commander" and that the spirit helps find the next Commander. In "Survival of the Fittest" Lexa mentions that after she dies, her spirit would find a new Commander.

Under Lexa, the Commander became the leader of the Grounder Coalition of the twelve clans.

Madi is the final Commander, who became the leader of Wonkru.

Clans

The thirteen clans of the Coalition were:[4][5]

Trikru

Trikru symbol
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. She united the 12 clans to form the Coalition.[6]

Azgeda

Main article: Azgeda

The Ice Nation, also known as Azgeda, is a clan that was ruled by King Roan and Queen Nia. This clan is currently allied with the Woods Clan, but they were previously at war. Their territory stretches for a thousand miles. It borders Trikru territory at Sector 8, but the ice is farther to the north.

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,[7] is a clan ruled by Luna.[8] This clan is allied with the Trikru and, according to Lincoln in "I Am Become Death", they live "east to the sea, then across it." Lincoln met Luna on his travels.[9]

This is the clan where Lincoln was going to take Octavia to in order to keep out of the conflict between the 100 and the 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.

In "The Four Horsemen" Luna became the last surviving member of the Floukru clan when the rest of her people were killed from radiation sickness after they ingested irradiated fish. Luna only overcame the sickness on account of her being a Nightblood.

The Floukru clan was entirely wiped out when Luna herself was later killed in "Die All, Die Merrily" during the Final Conclave.
