Faction - The Isvirin

West of Larm, across the river and into the outlying hill country, the nomadic peoples known as the Isvirin rule.  Living a more savage and primal life than the civilized townsfolk of Larm, the Isvirin are great hunters and warriors.  They are aware of the settlements in and around Larm, but keep their distance for now.  The Isvirin claim the hills west of the river, while Larm has laid claim to the lands east of the river.  For now, the two groups are not in conflict.

The hill tribe makes no distinction between the land and the people.  Isvirin is the word for both and any attempt by outsiders to state otherwise would only result in confused looks from the tribe.  Throughout most of the Known Lands, ancestral groups tend to stay among themselves: there are human lands, there are elven lands, there are dwarven lands.  The Isvirin are the exception and make no distinction between groups of people within the tribe, they count humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs among their families.

They welcome the occasional trader into their hills and are eager to acquire improved weapons and arms.  They have been known to send scouts to trade goods and information with Moritz Senger at his Ferry Crossing on the river.  

The primary motivation of the Isvirin is to preserve their ways and culture by protecting their lands from invaders.  Their attention is currently occupied by sinister Kobolds invading from beyond the mountains to the north.
