Major Nomad Tribes

**DM Note: The clan sheet is general info, the party already has info that overrides some of this.**

Initial info from Major Nomad Tribes Factsheet - a partial list of major tribes (in terms of population, prestige and/or power) mentioned in Joshua's hearing during day 65.

## Ariel

### Fairwind Clan

Normally just to the West of Far Haven, has close ties to Saratak, known for their strength in magic.

**Day 65:** The Fairwind clan came from the West at Saratak's behest about three months ago – ie in time for if we had come here directly from Braerk. There are about 60 Drakes/Dragons with them. Quercuis observed (through Khurak) about as many Ariels again nestled in the cliffs around Far Haven as in the main encampment.

Clanmembers met: Swanfeather (erstwhile Speaker) and Larksong (new Speaker)

### Gannet Clan

Normally far to the West of Far Haven, as their name implies – specialise in diving harassment warfare

## Centaur

### Drake Clan

Normally in the far East of Far Haven, active prosecutors of the skirmishes with Orcs & Trolls

Clanmembers met: Tellef L’Urin, Con D’Rait, Q’Ran L’Tarkin, Philan L’Tarkin

### Hawk Clan

Normally found East of Far Haven, specialises in skirmishing, scouting and mobility.

The currently elected Ur-Khan is Drovan, a Shanah warrior priest from the Hawk tribe. He is out East with the Snake and Wolverine clans at the moment.

Clanmembers met: Johat, Ironspear, Whitemane, Treesinger.

### Owl Clan

Tend to be found on the East side of the river south of Far Haven, known to have the most powerful Shamans

### Snake Clan

Normally found close to the Drake Clan, if you ever find a stealthy Centaur – he will be from the Snake clan.

Reported to be out East with the Wolverine Clan at the moment, along with the speaker of the Hawk clan.

They were part of the remaining clan force that had taken and lost Star Storm and who the party met to the SouthWest of Willston.

### Wolf Clan

Normally in the East of Far Haven, have a reputation for being the least friendly to outsiders

### Wolverine Clan

Normally found West of Far Haven, are known to be closely allied with the Sharktooth clan.

Reported to be out East with the Snake Clan at the moment, along with the speaker of the Hawk clan.

They were part of the remaining clan force that had taken and lost Star Storm and who the party met to the SouthWest of Willston.

Members met by the party: Tian Farstride: Junior warrior Shaman Centaur of the Wolverine clan

## Giant

### Thunder Clan

See The Thunder Clan for the Speaker's legend about them.

~~Location unknown, one of the oldest Giant clans – but has faded into obscurity~~

The Thunder Clan returned (mostly from the Void) to help rescue the remains of the Clan force that had taken Star Storm. They habitually name their leader Soratan

They objected to building of the walls around Far Haven, and the general 'setttling down' of the Giant clans, espousing the nomadic way of life in preference. They became 'objectionable' and so were ostracized. They definitely were **not** specifically the giants who were 'looking back' at the Wild symbol on the shrine stones.

According to Terfel: *“Indeed if they still exist though, Thunder Clan claims or claimed to be one of the original Giant tribes that was around Far Haven when the humans arrived. Problem was that somehow or other they ended up being banned from the city and its environs way way back. Since when they have been, or at least were, out on the Eastern plains. I haven’t heard of them for at least 10 or more years now, and even then people said there were only about twelve individuals left in the clan. All of the other Giant clans are West of the river.”*

### Rocklobber Clan

Day 65: The Speaker of the Rocklobber (Giant) Clan, named Huan Cardec has been advising his Clan to move away West, this despite the fact that Saratak has been asking the tribe to move East with the Rotgut and Redclaw clans. Saratak does not seem particularly concerned by this though;

## Human

### Ironhoof Clan

Found far to the West of Far Haven, they are known for armouring their mounts and operating as shock cavalry

### Fleetfoot Clan

They are primarily found in the forest north of Roubank and the one to the south. Unlike most of the clans they do not rely on mounts other than the occasional beast of burden. They are known for their scouting and covert skills, sometimes being called the Forest Ghosts.

It becomes obvious that unlike most of the clans you have met before, the Fleetfoot have as many scouts, if not more, than warriors.

Members met by the party: Eli Nightshade, Thorn Shadowsoul and 9 others.
A large warparty encampment - including their Shaman Hedrick Forestlore, Warlod/knight Tein Crossguard, Callasta and Teimbul - welcomed and assisted us around Day 76.

## Maratasen

Maratasen met whose Clan is not known: Carrun

### Fastleap Clan

Arrived at Roubank Fort on Day 71.
Their leader was Jorn Threeclaw.

### Razorclaw Clan

Normally found to SW of Far Haven, bellicose, even by Maratasen standards

Reported to be 'out East' by Terfel: *“Well, us Centaurs certainly aren’t the only nomads on the Eastern plains... and of course the Razorclaw Maratasen are out East as well. I hear they are trying to get over towards Wilston [sic] way with Snake and Wolverine clans.”* [Along with the Droven, the Centaur Ur Kahn] (He stops suddenly, realising he may have said too much)

They were part of theremaining clan force that had taken and lost Star Storm and who the party met to the SouthWest of Willston.

Members met by the party: Black Irontooth, Chrithson: Senior Maratasen warrior of the Razorclaw clan, relatively even tempered for a Razorclaw Maratasen.

### Redclaw Clan

Day 65: The Rotgut (Orc) and Redclaw (Maratasen) clans are preparing to cross the river and head East;

### Redmane Clan

Move around a lot, but generally to the West of Far Haven, known to get on well with outsiders.

### Render Clan

Dwell deep in the WereWoods, tend to be unfriendly to non-nomads although do trade with Tobar

### Warspring Clan

Dwell in the Northern Edge of the WereWoods, known to have good relations with Tobar

Day 65: A displacer beast was seen at some Oasis out East called Thola’s spring, it was killed by warriors of the Warspring (Maratasen) clan – but no pelt has been seen yet;

## Orc

### Rotgut Clan

Day 65: The Rotgut (Orc) and Redclaw (Maratasen) clans are preparing to cross the river and head East; The Rocklobber Clan were asked by to join them, but their speaker advised against it.

### Sharktooth Clan

Closely associated with the Centaur Wolverine Clan

They were part of the remaining clan force that had taken and lost Star Storm and who the party met to the SouthWest of Willston.
