Alaman Tribelands
The Alaman Tribelands are a vast expande of heavy forested territory that bords the Vorgsian Tribelands to the west, The city of Olisia and the Kingdom of Marsilis to the south, the Hyperborean Tribelands to the north, and the Kingdom of Ardra to the east. The Alaman tribelands are covered in thick pinewood forests and surrounded by mountains, with only a small strech of coast. The tribes living here are more organized than some of the other barbarians and more than once they mounted invasions against Ardra and Marsilis in the past.
Structure
Alaman tribes are ruled by Chiefs, as most of the northern savages. The office of Chief is hereditary and many chiefs are concerned with tracing their bloodline to old Alaman heroes. Skalds are an important part of this tradition, as these traveling lore-keepers and entertainers are trained to be able to recite the lineage of the great chiefs by heart. Tribes will often fight one another, but these wars are often limited in scope. Alaman tribes tend to unite themselves to push away invaders and launch their own invasions into other lands. Over the last centuries, many Hyrelians and Vorgsians were displaced from their territories by Alaman invasions and migrations.
