The Eagle Clan is an ape clan located in what was once the Greater Los Angeles area in North America.
History
Background
Many generations after Caesar led his colony of apes to the Hidden Oasis in the aftermath of the Human-Ape War, the evolved apes have expanded heavily in numbers and established countless ape clans across the world. One of these clans emerged near the remnants of Los Angeles and gained recognition for developing symbiotic relationships with eagles and practicing falconry, thus becoming known as the Eagle Clan. This clan was also aware of the devolved humans, whom they called "Echos," considering them to be scavengers and coming from the Valley Beyond.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Three centuries after the Human-Ape War, Noa, the son of the clan leader, along with his friends Soona and Anaya, was getting ready for a coming-of-age ceremony that required them to gather eagle eggs from nests. However, during a confrontation with a human who had followed him home, Noa accidentally broke his egg and set out to find a replacement. Upon his return, he discovered his village is under attack by followers of Proximus Caesar, houses burning down and chaos ensuing among the apes. Many members of the Eagle Clan being shocked and killed and his father, Koro, preparing to confront Sylva. In his attempt to protect his home, Noa witnessed Koro being killed by Sylva, who then left Noa incapacitated. By the following morning, the village lay in ruins, and the surviving clan members were taken to the Coastal Ape Colony, where they were forced into slave labour to excavate an old military bunker along with other enslaved ape clans.
Noa, in his quest to return his clanmates home, met a human named Mae and an orangutan named Raka, the last known member of the Order of Caesar. Throughout his journey, he learned of Mae's intelligence and her ability to speak, as Raka imparted the legacy and teachings of Caesar, a legendary chimpanzee who sought peace for both apes and humans in his era. As the adventure progressed, Noa was ambushed and captured, ultimately being taken to the Coastal Ape Colony alongside Mae, where he witnessed Raka's tragic drowning. There, Noa was reunited with his mother and friends. Despite his belief in his ability to free his clan, Dar and Soona sadly informed him that the Eagle Clan was now under Proximus's control, urging him to accept this reality for his own safety.
At night, Noa pressed Mae to reveal the truth. He enlisted the help of Anaya and Soona to assist him and Mae in demolishing the dam to prevent Proximus from utilizing its arsenal. Upon infiltrating the vault, Noa and his companions stumbled upon sophisticated human technology and literature that indicated humans had once been the dominant species and apes were silent and lived in cages. Mae detonated the dam to obliterate the bunker. The flood drowned many apes, but the remaining members of Noa's clan managed to survive by ascending to higher ground. As Noa reached safety after a confrontation with Sylva, he was quickly ambushed by Proximus, who savagely beats him up him and declared that the Eagle Clan would witness Noa bending to him before his demise for destroying his kingdom. Just before his defeat, Noa channelled his father's song to summon nearby eagles, leading them to attack Proximus, with the entire clan joining in, ultimately causing Proximus to plummet off the cliff to his death.
The Eagle Clan, now freed, made their way back to their homeland to restore it, with Noa taking on the role of their new leader. The clan was expected to flourish their population once more with the chimpanzee children as its possible recovery after losing many members.
