The Tribe of The Black Boar
The Tribe of The Black Boar (Greater Tribe)
The Tribe consists of only Humans, some of which are Wereboars (Lycanthropes) that are great Warriors. The Tribe also has many Large Boars used as guardians, which during Battle some of the female warriors ride. The Battle-Boars are clad in Leather Armour. The Tribe can be found roaming The Great Elk Plains and hunting in The Great Elk Woodlands, Which are disputed Territories of THE TRIBE OF THE ELK. The Tribal Territories of the Tribe are The Black Boar Wood and The Vale of The Boar, The vale being the Tribes Winter-Camping ground.Lycanthropy
Lycanthropy is both hereditary (the children of lycanthropes are lycanthropes of the same type) and infectious (victims of lycanthrope bites become lycanthropes themselves, of the same type as the attacker). Hereditary lycanthropes can change shape at will, and retain their personality, being in control of their actions. Infected lycanthropes' shapechanges are affected by the full moon. They usually are not aware of their actions and act as aggressive predators. Lycanthropes can assume the form of an animal/humanoid hybrid, in addition to their animal form. Most lycanthropes in animal form can communicate with animals of their type. In humanoid form, they can use any weapon, and in animal form they use natural weapons like the corresponding animals, but each type has a different fighting style in hybrid form. Lycanthropes are vulnerable to silver.Chieftain Hybor 'Boarheart'

Birth & Baptismal Rites
Once the child is born it is bathed in the blood of a sacrificed Boar and named. The Priest performing the ceremony chants to The Great Boar for Strength, Courage and Wisdom and a long life for the child. The slaughtered Boar becomes part of the feast later that day in Honour of its sacrifice.Coming Of Age Rites
The Sacrificial Boar
When a child of the Clan turns sixteen years of age they are to perform a coming of age Ritual, to be welcomed into the Tribe as a warrior. A male child wears only breeches, or a kilt and wields a boar spear and long knife, a female wears a vest and breeches or skirt and wields the same against a medium-sized Boar. If the Boar is slain, the child, now an adult is welcomed as a warrior and the Boar is eaten in the great feast that evening. If the child is badly injured (near death), they are to become carers of the sick and elderly or cast from the Clan as a bad omen, if slain they are cremated that evening on a pyre and the Boar is set free into the wild.Funerary And Memorial Customs
The Dead are buried in the earth after being wrapped in linens. Chieftains and important Tribal members are buried in Barrows often with weapons, armour and Treasure. The High Priest will speak of the deceased (Life and achievements) and give prayer while everyone gathered will chant to The Great Boar. The Tribe believe The Great Boar will take the Spirit and guide it to the Afterlife.Territories
