Vorgsian Tribelands

The Vorgsian Tribelands is a large stretch of mountainous, forested and hilly countryside, bigger than most kingdoms but with little population. It's located north of the Black Coast, and borders the Kingdom of Marsilis and the Alaman Tribelands to the east, the Hyperborean Tribelands to the north, and World Sea on the Forsaken Shore, to the West.

Structure

Vorgsians are spread out in large settlements that are no longer just small clans with most familial ties or single tribes units, but rather gatherings of different tribes living under the same rule for protection. Since Vorgsians are less prone to migration than Hyrelians and their lands don't suffer from as much cold, they tend to have fortified settlements and rudimentary stone construction. Chiefs in Vorgsian are often, much like the the Black Coast, selected by their ability to lead by charisma, strength and assertiveness. While most chiefs pass down their jobs hereditarily, anyone may challenge a chief for their position. If the challenge is deemed to have merit by the chief's tribe, refusing it is as good as losing the challenge itself, as in both cases the former chief will face death or exile. However, challenges issued without a perceived good reason will be quickly dismissed with no further embarassment for the chief in question.
