The Kellens

The Kellens

The Kellens are a race of fiercely independent barbarians hailing from the Principality of Kell, which retained its independence while the Kingdom of Candle'Bre still existed, though the Prince of the Ten Tribes did pay a nominal annual tribute to the Kings of Candle'Bre.
During the Great War, Kell was essentially destroyed and the Ten Tribes scattered. In the intervening decades, they have begun to replace their numbers, though there still aren't many and the Ten Tribes are a shadow of their former selves.
Rituals are exceedingly important to the Kellen People, and at game start, you may assume that you have completed one of these two rituals (these rituals serve as the basis for the two barbarian builds available in the Basin): Blooded or The Ritual of Serpents and Nightmares. See the Barbarian Splat Book for specifics.
