Ironclub Tribe

One of the oldest tribes, the Goliaths, patriarchal, primarily trade in body parts of magical creatures. The Ironclubs can trace their lineage back directly to Bruxen the Strong and take great pride in it, even if most of the other tribes can, too. They especially pride themselves on maintaining their Giant bloodline, which they accomplish by having the leader marry a female giant once every three generations. The leader has to journey into the mountains and win a giantess by fighting the other eligible males in the herd. They wander the whole of Prehn during the year, tracking magical game.

Naming Traditions

Family names

The Ironclub Tribe pursues a naming tradition similar to the other nomadic tribes in which the oldest, most influential families are "named" and the smaller, less influential -- and frequently newer -- family units are "unnamed." The "named" families have both first names and family (last) names whereas the "unnamed" families utilize a hereditary naming system in which they have a first name but refer to their paternal or maternal forbear depending on whether the tribe is matriarchal or patriarchal; e.g. "Osnet son of Theda."
The Ironclub Tribe is patriarchal.
The Named families of the Ironclub Tribe are as follows:

• Strongarm (current tribal leader)
• Stonebreaker
• Bouldershield
• Clenchfist
