5001-HârnWorld/3rd Edition/12

Hârn contains 18 barbarian nations, whose total population exceeds 100,000. Each of these nations has fairly well-defined homelands in the wilderness areas of Hârn, which are noted on the Cultural-Political map. For the most part, the tribal nations are of the same racial stock as the civilized human cultures but, for one reason or another, have remained barbaric or semi-civilized. They are mostly semi-nomadic, moving from one location to another within their range either seasonally or every few years. Some are hunter-gatherers who do not practice more than rudimentary agriculture. Each tribal nation is divided into several dozen tribes of 30 to 1,200 persons, although few tribes would exceed 200 in size. Each tribal nation is described in Hârndex.

Adaenum
The Adaenum subsist by primitive agriculture and fishing on Anfla Island off the southwest coast of Hârn.

Anoa
These nomadic hunters live in the Anoth River valley in southern Orbaal. Conflict with gargun and the Orbaalese is common.

Bujoc
This nation of shy, superstitious, forest nomads has a strong matrilineal culture. They are sometimes encountered by travelers on the Genin Trail in Melderyn.

Chelni
The Chelni herd cattle and ponies in the Chelna Gap and surrounding hills. They are famed for their mounted warriors and their hostility toward travelers and each other.

Chymak
The sea-folk of Belna Island are renowned fishermen. They range the Gulf of Ederwyn in large sea-going canoes and are valued as seamen on merchant ships.

Equani
The warriors of Equeth are one of the most primitive tribes. They are noted for their elaborate facial scars and tattoos and their merciless treatment of intruders.

Gozyda
These forest tribesmen are skilled guerrilla fighters and control the Mimea Hills in western Hârn. Outlaws from Tharda and Kanday have brought them new blood and technology.

Hodiri
The Hodiri are proud nomadic horsemen and fierce warriors. They are not particularly hostile to their neighbors and frequently travel to Chybisa to trade their horses and cattle for the products of civilization.

Kabloqui
These degenerate cannibals from the north shore of Lake Benath are related to the Equani, who detest them. Their gargun neighbors may destroy them, if their own treachery doesn’t first.

Kamaki
These fisherfolk and herders inhabit the island of Kamace off southwestern Hârn.

Kath
This loose federation of wild and primitive tribes trades with or attacks travelers in the Kathela Hills in eastern Hârn. Kath women are known for their beauty.

Kubora
This powerful warrior nation of Peran once united under Arlun the Barbarian and conquered Rethem. They export wild beasts for the Pamesani Games. Some find employment in the south as gladiators or mercenaries.

Pagaelin
The Pagaelin are violent, brutal, and vicious. They dwell roughly between the Osel River and Setha Heath and are under the influence of a heretical Navehan sect.

Solori
This primitive and wild nation in southeastern Hârn is slowly being exterminated in a genocidal crusade waged by the Laranian Order of the Lady of Paladins.

Taelda
The Taelda are nomadic hunter-gatherers who inhabit the vast forests of southern Nuthela. They are renowned healers and woodsmen. They clash constantly with gargun but bear no malice toward strangers.

Tulwyn
These ruthless barbarians inhabit the wilderness of Athul and are a threat to the Thardic outpost of Fort Taztos and travelers on the Salt Route; some are berserkers. They have a strict code of personal honor.

Urdu
The Urdu are nomadic hunters who inhabit the range between the Chetul and Pemetta rivers in northwestern Hârn. Although they are related to the Kubora and Equani, the tribes frequently raid each other.

Ymodi
These wild, fierce forest tribesmen live in the Himod region of northern Hârn. They are beleaguered by the Equani to the west, Anoa to the east, and gargun to the north and south; they survive because of their impressive skill with the bow and spear.
