Gleisinsear Tribe
Overview
The Gleisinsear Tribe while not militarily powerful, are a very sacred Great Tribe which is said to be responsible for all the rituals and traditions regarding the passing of souls to the afterlife. Many of the important villages and towns in The Stormswept Foothills likely have a member of the Gleisinsear Tribe to preform last rites and rituals to help the soul pass on. Many other Great Tribes post guards in the land of this tribe to defend them from all manner of predators and enemies, even the mysterious Nathúpla Tribe.Territories
The Gleisinsear Tribe is said to be the progenitors of many of the traditions for revering the ancestors in The Stormswept Foothills and many come to learn from them to tend to the graves and affairs of the departed in their own tribes. Generally, the Gleisinsear try not to meddle in the affairs of other tribes, simply providing teaching and wisdom when they go to them for it and providing tenders and sages to help ferry the dead to the afterlife if they are called upon. Otherwise, they stick to their forest homes and silently practice their traditions, though sometimes aiding the Gwarcoedwig Tribe with their protection of The Grove of Ancestor Spirits.
Military
The Gleisinsear Tribe do have a small armed force, but it is more of an honor guard for important rituals to help those pass on. Otherwise, most every other clan will march to their protection, even though the tribe is rarely in danger. Even the mysterious Nathúpla Tribe often stations their warriors in the land of the Gleisinsear Tribe to protect them from all manner of predators and enemies.
