Tribes of Shoanti

As mentioned earlier, there are seven tribes of Shoanti.

The Clan of the Moon - Resolute and cold, this tribe wanders the lands east of the Wyvern Mountains.

The Clan of the Axe - Secluded guardians from the Calphiak Mountains, this tribe wars with the raiding parties from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings.

The Clan of the Hawk - This is a far ranging clan. It's members are renowned for their animal husbandry.

The Clan of the Spire - The diplomats of the Shoanti. This is one of the oldest clans of Shoanti. They wander the Storval Plateau, seeking to unite the other clans into a unified people.

The Clan of the Sun - Horseriders of the Cinderlands, the Clan of the Sun is one of the most closed clans of Shoanti. They dislike outsiders, often drawing sword and spear first and asking questions later.

The Clan of the Skull - This is the smallest of the Clans. The Clan of the Skull is responsible for keeping record of the Shoanti tribes that no longer exist, and honoring the dead of all the clans.

The Clan of the Wind - Not much is known about the Clan of the Wind. They are almost as distrustful of outsiders as the Clan of the Sun. Dwelling in the Stony Mountains, however, means they see many less outsiders than their cousins to the east.

Player Characters Part 1- Humans

Choices, choices, choices.....

When it comes to PCs there are going to be plenty of options. It's kind of like cooking, pick one Race, one Class, and sometimes a build to go with it. Mix up a little fluff and spread it on top and you have a cohesive whole.

Lets start with Humans.

Humans are the main race in the world of Glorion. They come from many ethnic cultures and places far and near. There are three major groups of humans common to the Lost Coast. Chelaxians, Shoanti, and Varisian.

The Chelaxian Empire once chose a to consort with the denizens of Hell to wield unparalleled power. The empire of Chelax is no more, but it's people still hold much power in the southern lands. Chelaxians possess dark hair and eyes contrasted by pale skin.

The Shoanti are members of one of the seven tribes of barbarians which dwell in the northwest of Varisia. The Shoanti are a hale and powerfully built people. Typicallyof ruddy complexion, most men stand well over 6 feet tall, withwomen only slightly shorter. Hair is viewed as a distraction and possible detriment and both genders frequently shave their heads—with only mystics and the elderly ignoring this meme. Many Shoanti wear prominent tattoos, typically of shapes and patterns heavy with traditional meaning, which wearers expandand embellish upon as they age

Varisians are the native people of Varisia. Nomads and vagabonds, the Varisians never stay in one place for too long, believing that land belongs to no one. The typical Varisian possesses deep olive skin and hair that ranges from black to auburn, often worn long by both men and women. Customary tattooing leads most to exhibit complex patterns and symbols significantly different from those worn by the Shoanti who share their homeland.

Humans enjoy flexibility in character creation, they excel at any class choice and tend to get along well with any other race.
