Swine-ciciens

The Swine-cicens are semi-humanoid pigs. Their Skin is a Pale Color with a Thin Layer of Hair and Mud covering it. Though most pigfolk are raised in the wild by their kin, some are taken in by other races and made slaves, Known for their strength and warrior like fire during a fight, having a Pigfolk on your team during a battle is only ensuring a good time.

Tribal Folk

Most Swine-ciciens are part of tribes that diffrer from Swine to Swine such as some Swine-ciciens are more Barbaric and Hostile to People and Items they dont know, while other Swine-ciciens are more friendly and let unknown people or things into the tribe walls and are very open to new ideas. The Next few paragraphs are going to be about the most known tribes and their Beliefs and Habits.

Tuskbreakers

The most bellicose pig-men. A tribe that fought orcs, and adopted many of their structures. When the war comes they charge clad in heavy plate atop large charriots.

• War-bred - The Wilders and Hogs make the majority. Trotters are not very welcome as they are seen as too dainty and meek.
• Scattered - The clans of the tribe are in a constant "friendly" conflict. Each group is a warband in their own right and their fighting competitions are legendary. There are only two creatures that can unite the whole tribe behind one cause. A high hog-king and the Hell-pig. And the latter of course does not exist.

Soreankles

The tribe of reclusive human-raised pig-men that all once wore chains and now trust all who do the same to them.

• Welcoming - Any Pig-Folk, and even non-Pig-Folk is invited no matter of creed, manners or origin. The clans of this tribe are all found families. This means that all family functions are public and ritualized. All of the tribe must know a new brother/sister.
• Protective - A child of any race would be protected by the elders and taken far from the temperaments of any individual hurt by said race. They are not evil, but they are vengeful.
• Vengeful - When war comes, they turn all into a weapon, the more prudish the enemy, the more humiliating the method of war A raging treant may be set alight with the lard of the Trotters it killed, while a human slaver may be captured and slowly sunk into a boiling septic tank.

The Stripeless

The peaceful, grumpy workaholics that made their settlements in a secret remote valley. Unlike their more arboreal kin, their children are not born with the stripy patterns to blend in with the forest. They trade with their neighbors, often wear colorful silks and grow any crop that grows on their hilltop terraces.

• Hosts While the Soreankle tribe boasts the most familiar approach, there is no host more willing to make strangers feel welcome. The tribe has a culture of "human pens'' which are small huts for rich people to bring their family to let them enjoy the fresh rural air.
• Languid The tribe views time as something others have to worry about. It is said in jest that chronomancy was invented either by the Stripeless pig-men to make the time look the other way, or that it was invented by the goddess of time that was fed up with being ignored.
• Steadfast This tribe sustains some of the greatest number of gorgers, as these pig-men do not run away from their problems. They are often as deadly with their farming tools as they are in tending crops. During wartime they march clad in heavy armor and form disciplined ranks hidden behind large shields and weilding deadly polearms, this squealing mass can make an ogre think twice before charging.
