Homeland: western forest

Languages: Hapha

A fiercely territorial people, Bramburri resemble bipedal boars who wear thorns, ivy, and other foliage as clothing. Their tough, leathery skin provides them with natural defense, while their tusks double as dangerous weapons, complementing the flint-and-wood spears they employ for hunting and warfare. Bramburri worship various gods and natural forces, carrying out detailed rituals for the propitiation of local spirits. The frequently warring Bramburri clans are governed by chieftains loosely commanded by a chief-king, who maintains his power through fear and force. Although Bramburri obey the basic moral dictates of Tephrana (the law of the forest), their honor code glorifies victory in conquest, so their clans favor might and cunning over gentler virtues. When their clans are not fighting each other, skirmishes repeatedly break out between Bramburri and neighboring Taphe bands.
