Weasel warbands

1. Redmask - Tribal custom is to never clean the face of blood after a kill. The veteran berserkers of this tribe are nearly entirely rust-colored.

4. Goldthrone - Avaricious and spiteful, they submit captives to a sham court in front of a extravagantly accoutered magistrate where they are sentenced to death (killing them outright would be uncivilized).
5. Flinteye - So named for the most common of injuries sustained while knapping their stone arrowheads and weapons, this tribe disdains metal in favor of flint weaponry. Skilled marksmen despite their frequent disabilities.
6. Rusttail - Soaking themselves in pools of corroded scrap metal, their weapons carry tetanus and worse. Become infected on critical damage.
