Nation of the Nine
Each of the nine tribes that comprise the "northern nations" are ruled by a chieften who is typically advised by a small council of elders. The five largest tribes, typically named for their first jarl, are as follows (in no particular order)...
1. Sisterhood of the Urso
2. Dreth Goro
3. Umber Wren
4. Crimson Moon
5. Frost Breath
6. Poison Devil
7. Ironshroud
8. Rumblehowl
9. Drumswords
These tribes sometimes, when extreme situations call for it, convene to hold a moot known as The Reckoning. Here, major decisions are often made that effect the course of life for all tribes. Interestingly enough, virtually all the major tribes see no difference in status between their men and women, with both fighting side by side. In fact, some tribes, like the Sisterhood of the Urso, are comprised entirely of women.
