Super duper interested; expect a sheet from me soon; probably based on Turkic folk from Central Asia, or a proto-Slavic culture.

Somewhere along the Northern frontier of the empire.

I guess you're going to be Orthodox Khristian here or going to be.

Name of your tribe: The Frissian Kahzlavs

Leader of your tribe: Dragan Soloviev

Race and ethnicity of your tribe: Frissian, Kahzlav, Fisti, Kurgan, etc.

Dialect or language of your tribe: Kahzlav

Name of your tribe's camp and where you want it to be placed: The Kahzlavs' refer to their land as Frissia, after the peaks that make up a large percentage of its area. stretch from the top the the Gerrian Woods to the Hills of Grett.

Religion(s) of your tribe: The Kahzlavs have converted to Sistrine Orthodox Khristianity, however this is largely a political maneuver, and many still hold on to distinct Kahzlav practices. Pagan celebrations, foods, symbols, etc. are still common sights in Frissia. The conversion, did, however, alter many secular aspects of the Kahzlavs. Its leadership has adopted Sistrine titles, and political organization has taken on an Imperial likeness.

Background story(History) of your tribe: The Kahzlavs are a diverse people, its land home to multiple smaller tribes and ethnicities from around the region. The Frissian people are native to the modern-day Frissian Peaks, and were once under the rule of a people called the Kurgan, who were native to the Hills of Grett and further eastward.

Sometime before the fall of the Western Empire, the Kahzlavs, originally a Fisti tribe, sailed across the Southern Seas before landing on the shores of what is now called Alexander's Cove. These folk established a presence in the southern Frissian Peaks, building settlements under the Kurgan Khanate. In time, the Kahzlav people expanded farther north, waging battle against the Kurgans and taking over the Frissian state. They mixed with the native Frissians and Kurgans, creating a unified people. Kahzlav became the region's dominant language, and its culture took on aesthetic from the peoples native to the region.

After the West had fallen, the Kahzlavs were raiding settlements neighboring its terrtory, namely the native Kurgans of Grett, Roth tribes along the Osia Roth border, and Sistrines around Mount Nix. Kurgans within its own lands would stage uprisings to wrest control from their Kahzlav lords, but these rebellions were quickly doused. In an attempt to control more of the region and secure trade routes, campaigns into Grett were mounted. The Kurgan capital was sacked, forcing them to retreat further into the east.
Politically, the Kahzlavs sought to cement themselves as a dominant people, and Dragan Soloviev chose to convert his lands to Orthodox Khristianity, as was the religion of the Sistrines. Frissia has opened trade with the Empire through routes in the Western Woods, and by water to Romasinople.

Map updated.
Now I think this may not be as the lands your requested but you could always conquer more lands.
Hope that's okay with you.

Name of your tribe: The Ynglingr

Leader of your tribe: Konungun Rurikr

Race and ethnicity of your tribe:

The Ynglingr are a clan, a rather large one, at that, that have banded together.

The peoples of the Ynglingr are a tall, hearty, and strong bunch, tempered by the harsh climate and lands that they live in. Generally speaking, they have either blonde or brown hair, and blue or brown eyes. In terms of muscular build, they are more commonly strong than weak.

Dialect or language of your tribe:

Ynglar

An example of speech in Ynglar would be, for instance,

“Hjore arl du?”

“How are you?”

“Hjon ista jur naemen?”

“What is your name?”

“Raidarne arle vir tostar?”

“Are we raiding tomorrow?”

Name of your tribe's camp and where you want it to be placed:

- Name of Camp: Hrorekr

- Location of Camp: The Stonian Mountains.

Religion(s) of your tribe:

-The Grey Ones: Due to distance and the unruly nature of the Ynglingr, in addition to being one of the few tribes never definitively conquered by any empire, the Ynglingr never adopted Kristianity, and missionaries that attempted to sway them, more commonly than not, were offered up as sacrifices.

As a result, The Ynglingr are still staunchly pagan, holding onto their grim pantheon of gods that fit their rather ill-climated home. They speak of dying in battle, so that they might grace the halls of their gods and not have their souls cast into a burning abyss.

Most of the outside world has little idea or concept of their belief system, and most aren’t curious enough to actually go up to one and ask.

Background story(History) of your tribe:

The Ynglingr are a rarity amongst the barbaric tribes of the world: Never was their home stomped upon by the hand of the Empire, and never were their people under an Imperial yoke. Keeping their savage nature intact, and sealing their mountainous homes from entry wasn’t hard. They were one of the few tribes to have developed a solid basis of metalworking, and their development of mail, in addition to the inhospitable climate and favorable defensive positions, ensured that they were an island of savagery.

Throughout a vast majority of the Empire’s later existence, Ynglingr mercenaries were commonly brought to serve as bodyguards, and indeed, the Sistrine Empire continues this practice, the Varagar Guard being one of the more famed components of the mercenaries hired.

Now that the Empire has collapsed, this tribe of hardened warriors is more than ready to ply their trade, raiding, across the majority of the area.

Long live Konungun Rurikr! Long live the Ynglingr Throne!
