Gaisgaidach Tribe
Overview
The Gaisgaidach Tribe are a Great Tribe dedicated to honor and courage amongst warriors. They refuse to fight an unarmed opponent with a blade and strive for fairness in all things. They are expert metal and stoneworkers, however, they still do not use metallic armor and instead prefer to use lighter kilts and other armor that provides more freedom of movement for swinging their massive claymore swords around. They are ferocious fighters and typically chant war songs and paint their bodies before going into battle.Territories
The Gaisgaidach Tribe make their villages high on the slopes of the highlands of The Stormswept Foothills and build mighty walls around them. They are one of the few tribes who prefer and use stone walls over wooden palisades for their villages. They are also very proficient metal-workers and because of this their gates also benefit from being crafted from durable metals and maintained. Due to their prowess with these things they also create many weapons to trade with other Great Tribes.
Military
What is perhaps most odd about the Gaisgaidach Tribe is that despite their prowess for working with metals and stone, they do not wear armor made of the stuff usually. Instead they prefer leathers and cloths, usually in the style of a kilt. However, do not mistake their battle ferocity, charging into battle with their claymores raised high and chanting a war song. Perhaps the most famous band of these are the chieftain's own guard who wear blood red kilts and warpaint, their claymores having a darkened razor-edged blade.
