Indigenous Tribes

Indigenous Tribes of Sivia
Under the pressures of the Faulian settlers, tribes of Sivia have had to band together in order to stand against threats to their home that were once presented by the elves of Azbot. Where once there were many nations and many tribes, now there are but a few strong people united by need and by fear.

Boneclaw
The Boneclaw hobgoblins hail from the mountains and hills of the northernmost forested area of Sivia. The Boneclaw nation is one of the oldest tribes in Sivia, around as long as any stories recount. The Boneclaw people are a wild sort. The nation consists of hundreds of small tribes who all loyally serve the Boneclaw Oba. The various Boneclaw tribes fight amongst each other, sometimes in bitter rivalries for land and resources, but most often in more organized skirmeshes and contests as a constant power struggle for favor of the nation's Oba. This competative nature, and violent tendencies, have resulted in the Boneclaw people having a very traditional warrior culture, where strength of arm is one of the most important qualities in a person. Unlike their southern cousins, Boneclaw hobgoblins don't conduct a lot of slave capturing, of their own people of course. For the most part, slave hunts occur when a grand conest is held, and the stakes include the ownership of the losers. Grand contests can only be conducted with the approval of the Oba, and almost always put the existence of the tribes involved at risk.

The Oba of the Boneclaws is always from the line of Rakash. Stories from the times of the Dragon Wars often tell of heroes and villains who were half edgro, or half dragon. One story involved two such hobgoblins of monstrous heritage, the mother a half dragon, the father a half storm herald, and their son, who with blood from both rivals started the strongest ruling clan the Boneclaw nation would ever see. The Rakash clan are easily spotted, because their fur is silver and their eyes reptilian and bright gold in color.

Awnie Watchers
Among the oldest people of Sivia, the Awnie Watchers are a nomadic tribe of tyr that keep vigilant watch over the Razor Peaks.
