Fusion emblems (6)

Every pair of clans shares exactly one fusion emblem, which puts Blackbane in 6 of them. The game files record each fusion under only one of the two clans, and not consistently — so some of the cards below sit on this page and the rest on the partner's. The links go straight to the card either way. Listing only the ones filed under Blackbane is what this page used to do; it left one clan showing none at all.
