[OOC] The Tribe

[Markofkri]

The Last Sword Horde
There are many tribes in the west, all with their own stake in the coming new year. Here on the western most peninsula of this continent surrounded by the safety of water on three sides is the tribe. The tribe you belong to covers a vast expanse of territory (tribes claim all the land they can see from the central tower constructed in the first days of the tribe), only delving underground for the winter to breed and protect the young until they can hold a blade. This tribe is less segregated then other tribes and as such is far larger and stronger then most of the other neighboring clans. This tribe is composed of orc, half orc, goblins, hobgoblins, half ogres, troll, worg, and breeding stock. Your tribe has 4 casts. The primary being the warrior cast, fighters, assassins, rangers, berserkers, rouges, and a inner circle of elite who rule until murdered by stronger, ambitious members. The secondary is the worker cast, mostly goblin and others too injured to fight. These workers tunnel, mine, raise various mounts and smith. This third class is shaman, they work at increasing the tribes power by whatever means necessary. Shaman are knowledgeable in cross breeding, herbalism, magic, and dark arts. The fourth cast is only necessary for one reason only, the breeding cast, they put tied down helpless creatures in with warriors at the orders of shaman trying to produce a new breeds of warriors. The breeding cast report to shaman on new, results. Spring is once again upon tribal lands in the west. The ground is still cold, and cool northern winds blow winter clouds. Soon drums will beat and war parties shall be sent out to gather new resources. Warrior cast begins the regiment of training, building atrophied muscles from being tucked away in the depths of the earth. The new young emerge with the rest already eager to test their bodies and earn scars for themselves. The goblin worker cast set out and begin to cut down more of local forest to be dragged into the pit.
Today the tribe readies for the upcoming months of raiding and scouting. Information and material gathered will force the tribe to focus on the rich parts of surrounding wilderness. Shaman paint power into leaders of each group and then paint scouts to blend into shadows. Warriors will stay with the tribe for now, training for future battles. Early spring groups are comprised of rangers, rouges, and sometimes a shaman. The leaders of the tribe begin at dusk shouting orders to the numerous groups over the drums warning the surrounding territory this tribe is strong, this tribe survived, we are ready.

The clan: Of the blue flame
There were many in Iganghi Rogth's clan but not enough to challenge the strength of the tribe. They had breed their learers with human stock. This created weaker but smarter orc. An all out assault would only weaken his position. Iganghi was a good tactician and he knew that strength was only part of victory. He did manage to bring a captured group of under dark goblins but they were more trouble to keep in line without his ogre brethren killing the occasional trouble maker. He needed the trolls to the south but they were barbarians with near immortal regeneration. If they could follow a leader they would be powerful allies. There was just one option left to him. He would need to bring the kolbods into his fold and breed strength into them. Iganghi stepped outside and inhaled the crisp air. He then heard the drums of the tribe to the far north. It was time he did the same." Sound the drums! Wake the clan! Stoke the fires! We go to war!" The Kolbolds were a small lot of raiders and stealth was there stock and trade. He would need that for the trolls. If they couldn't be tamed they would be chained and tortured into servitude. He would need at least 5 and outfit them in full spiked armor. Many would die in this attempt.

Nightmare Swamp Horde


Here Live the tribe of cunning and tough warriors and shaman. They have trolls lizard folk and marsh lamia. The leader of this tribe in the marsh is a cunning lizard king who teaches traps and employs poisons to the weapons using the troll as the heavy assaults They are at war against the last swords.

Having no smiths and engineers they rely on gathering equipment by conducting raids. They check the traps around the camp for strays. Deep in the heart of the tribe lands they are surrounded by enemies. The death of their eldest shaman has greatly weakened them. Only thing the have that drives fear into the other tribes are the trolls. No other tribe has the regenerative front line fighters. A single troll is worth three squads of orc battle masters. They heal most wounds instantly only tasting death after a severed head.

Most of the lizard folk are equally devastating having either a poisonous bit or a acid breath attack. They have poor eye sight but are armored by heavy scales. Their are many forms of lizard folk some with four legs some with none having just a tale. (Will add later)
