In the Wandering Contagion, nestled in what may pass as a lush paradise for a plague clan, are the Nests of Truth. Their purpose is finding Truth through any means necessary, including the violent ones. In a land scarred by the brutality of its deity the Truth is a wild thing. With the pursuit of it the top priority for the clan it makes for an interesting dynamic. The leader is a pearlcatcher by the name of Clot, a plagueling who studied under the Lightweaver long enough to realize he wanted more of the Truth than the Plaguebringer had ever given him. In this pursuit of Truth as he came to discover it in the Lightweaver's clans, he created his own set of Truth seeking methods and founded a clan to further his studies. The new clan came to be known as The Nests of Truth.

Lies, deceit and sins are held in high honor, nuggets of Truth to be brought out by expertly teasing claws. Not only are the truths of the world they live in important, the Truths of the dragons who live in their world are equally important. Clot has spent much of his time seeking that Truth and teaching other dragons to do the same. His methods may be brutal but they get the job done and, as such, The Nests of Truth are often called when information is desperately needed, acting as sort of mercenaries for the right buyers. Truth and information are, after all, much the same thing.

The clan itself is a small affair, growing slowly and steadily through word of mouth and the efforts of the tundra known as Clump. When dragons are in need, Clump seems to find them and return them to the Nests, offering them a place to stay if they only offer something in return. Not every dragon fits into the Nests of Truth and their practices. Living in such a scarred and desolate wasteland, filled with brutal survivalists and riddled with diseases most flights have banished is not for every dragon. Their corner of the Wandering Contagion is as cozy as any to their needs, offering shelter to those who need it and comfort for those who seek it. Any dragon worth their salt can stay in this clan, and most are brought in by the well-meaning tundra, Clump.
