Asgar

The Asgar Tribe was a human society that once roamed ancient forests close to the Witchwood, living in harmony with the Gaia. During the course of the civil war within the Church of the Shroud, the two opposing sides met in battle on the traditional Asgar hunting grounds and the tribe suffered terribly in the chaos that followed. They were forced from their homeland and embarked on a nomadic existence. The encroaching empire of King Frein’loka and the Greenpath trolls pushed them ever eastwards. The Asgar headed south and settled close to the Wanderbog where they have found new hunting grounds. The Knights of Magilone managed to hold back the trolls from expanding south and the Asgar have now made a permanent home for themselves.

Some considered the Asgar Tribe primitive and they were sometimes hostile towards strangers. Their society was matriarchal in certain respects: childless wise-women had high status within the tribe and the men competed in annual games to earn the right to live with a woman of childbearing age for the following year: it was not the custom of the common huntsmen to marry for life, indeed it was forbidden to marry for more than a year.
