==Description==
 
==Description==
Purporting to be an in-universe document compiled by [[Phelan Kell]] (an [[Inner Sphere]] adoptee of the [[Clans]] who had risen to the rank of [[Khan]]) for his [[Morgan Kell|father]] on [[Arc-Royal]], '''''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky''''' is a sourcebook for information on [[Clan]] society and culture.
+
'''''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky''''' is the definitive sourcebook for information on [[Clan]] society and culture. The first section details the history of the Clans collectively, beginning with the creation of the [[Star League]] and ending with the ejection of [[Clan Steel Viper]] from the [[Inner Sphere]] in [[3061]]. The second section is about the culture of the Clans, including the caste system, [[Bloodname]]s, and social mores. That is followed by a discussion of Clan government and the various factions and organizations that play into that, including Bloodhouses, Clan Councils, and the military. The fourth sections goes a little more in depth into the individual Clans. Section five provides information on some of the worlds in Clan space, including [[Strana Mechty]] and the [[Pentagon Worlds]]. A glossary provides definitions for different Clan terms. Finally, a rules section provides a guide on how Clan characters should behave in combat and their views on different situations.

==From the back cover==
 
 
===False information===
 
Some information about the Clan homeworlds in this book has been proven false, and has been corrected in later sources. In particular, the spectral class of several stars (and thereby the recharging times and travel times given) is wrong. While this could be considered a [[retcon]], it may be regarded as simple genuine mistakes in-universe.
 
 
 
Similarly, the book's history section details Clan history as the Clans (and the rest of the [[BattleTech]] universe) know it and hold it to be true. However, it has since been established through stories about certain key events as they really happened (in particular, ''[[Betrayal of Ideals]]'' and the ''[[Founding of the Clans]]'' novel trilogy) that early Clan history was in fact heavily subjected to manipulation, revisionist falsifications, and outright lies, though this is not generally known in the [[thirty-first century]] of the [[BattleTech]] universe.

This comprehensive report finally puts to rest more than a decade's worth of speculation about the descendants of [[Aleksandr Kerensky|Kerensky]]. The information in this document may be the Inner Sphere's greatest weapon against their Clan foes.''
