Chinew Peoples

The Chinew Peoples were a confederacy of different goblinoid and orc tribes based out of Bleaksteppe.  The nomadic tribes were collectively seen as a single entity but acted as each independent goblin, orc, hobgoblin, or bugbear tribe desired. Raids were not uncommon upon the other peoples. Despite this, they were not reckless. Tersule suffered the least amount of conflict with the Chinew Peoples because their exposed position gave them the greatest motivation to strike back. Most of the raids were done to the outerlands of Kag Bhurim and the Lothin Diarchy. When possible, the raiders would utilize equipment stolen from the opposite end of the valley in a bid to work the gnomes and dwarves against one another.

A majority of the Chinew People scattered from the lands when the Fields of Ichor began in 973 AH. Those that stayed guided the defense of the Bleaksteppe as a turning point of the war. With Tersule crumbled, the survivors of the Chinew Peoples would eventually move into the lower valley and replace the humans of Tersule to create Harfolk Sanctuary . The tribes that abandoned valley would eventually return to the Bleaksteppe to create the Horde of the Risen Caste . The two halves would never reunite.
