Rivermaw Herd

The Rivermaw Tribe, also known as the Rivermaw barbarians, is a tribe of nearly three hundred free folk from the wild peoples of the Dividing Plains, who shunned the constraints of society. Living as hunters and scavengers, they call the Torian Forest their home.

While the tribe doesn’t seek conflict, the dangers of the natural world ever encroach upon their camps, and many train as warriors to defend their families and elders.

History
When the Herd of Storms, led by Kevdak, conquered the tribe, its members' lives became more violent and savage. Once Kevdak was slain, the remaining members of both the Rivermaw and the Herd of Storms agreed to recant the life of brutality and become the renewed Rivermaw Tribe under the tenuous alliance of Ivon the Ironwilled and Zanror, son of Kevdak.

One goliath of the tribe, Edelbern Cleareyes, became Master of Development on the Tal'Dorei Council by 836 PD.

Goliath Brawlers
Goliath brawlers refuse to use weapons, instead favoring their own body strength and skill in fist-fighting. In the Rivermaw Tribe, goliath brawlers usually lead the charge on the battlefield.

Juggernauts
A small number of barbarians in the Herd of Storms became known as Juggernauts for their ability to smash through defenses, wade into groups of foes with an unbreakable rage, and stand against all attempts to stop them. Those who survived and joined the Rivermaw still teach the Path of the Juggernaut.

Goliath Stormborn
Likewise, a small number of goliath stormborn have joined the tribe. According to goliath legend, stormborn are born beneath a raging storm and grow to become mighty warriors with the ability to command lightning. Reportedly destined to become mythic heroes, stormborn often fight with reckless abandon and are often prideful, typically ignorant of the actuality of fate. After the dissolution of the Herd of Storms, what few stormborn remained are now members of the Rivermaw Tribe, and the next generation of storm-children were just entering adulthood as of 812 PD.
