Carrion Tribes

The Carrion Tribes are a collection of barbarian tribes (mostly human) that worship the rakshasa rajahs that serve as the Lords of Dust. The Carrion Tribes descend from explorers and refugees twisted by the evil in this realm. Explorers usually encounter these savage folk as enemies, but occasionally a hero emerges from the shadows.
All of the Carrion Tribes are beholden to either a powerful rakshasa or a particular archfiend. Special members of a Tribe are given power directly from their patron and direct the barbarians by edict. These warlocks vary in power, but are known for their cunning. Even seasoned adventurers are challenged by an ambush or raid conducted by one of the Carrion Tribes, as these nomads both know the land and have rehearsed their maneuvers against each other consistently.

Uses:

The Carrion Tribes' collective weakness is their lack of unity as a people. Though talented fighters, and more than capable of posing a threat to a Ghaash'kala patrol wandering The Labyrinth, the Tribes remain in the Demon Wastes largely because they cannot find a way to work together. Their in-fighting is an extension of their rajahs seeking their own Overlord's ascension, and as such they have never been a significant threat to the rest of Khorvaire.
