==Black Horned Mother== : '''(Great Tribe)''' ::* '''Tribal Lands''': Weal ::* '''Warlord ''': Nilgash ::* '''Head Mother''': Ograd : '''Notes''': :::<font color=darkred>'''''Mother Tribe Greatings, my Master Ereach''', <br> I’ve had few dealings with the western tribes; much of what I can relate is secondhand and likely dated. The Black Horned Mothers are a strong tribe, noted for their ability to capture and enslave the trolls and giant-men in the Withered Wood and the Highhorns. The tribe’s warbands use these slaves to attack fey strongholds in Northern Erethor. The Black Horned Mother warlord, Vilgash, is a massive orc who is said to have crushed the skull of his last challenger with his bare hands. I can only guess at the size of the tribe, but I suspect they number at least 40,000 and may number as many as 80,000. The tribe’s greatest rival is the Shunned Mother tribe in the northern Highhorn Mountains. The two tribes compete over the fey fortress of Silverthorn and control of passes through the eastern Highhorns; they seem to forget that they must first take both from the Erunsil. The Shunned Mothers have an ancient alliance with the Wounded Mother orcs to the south. Working together at the end of the Third Age they overcame the most well-defended strongholds of the Fortress Wall. They even used their witches’ sloppy magic to bring the keeps down, reducing the stone forts to rubble and the tree forts to splinters. I would assume this was undertaken to prevent the Black Horned from taking control of the keeps after the front lines had moved on. The only true threat the tribes face is from the wild creatures of the Highhorns. They still have not fully explored all of its high, savage places or its dark, hidden caves, and beasts regularly emerge from the wilds to clear a bloody swath through their camps. Of course, there is also the danger of escaped shadowspawn from the Scar . . . it is such a shame when they somehow escape and wreck havoc upon our allies the orcs, is it not, my master?''</font> : '''Noted Tribesmen''': :: '''Physical Description''': ??? :: '''Tribal Mark/Symbol''': ???
