Society: The Tribes of Roc are a society of fishermen for the most part along with some metal workers, working metals found on some of the islands. There are Seven tribes that compose an overall people, each with their own dialect, but all with a generally uniform leadership structure where a Village Elder is elected by his people to power to guide them day to day, with a High Elder above them all elected from all the seven tribes in a ritual that tests all the virtues of all the elders to find the most suitable. In dire times a great meeting of elders is called to decide on matters such as war and major dealings with other kingdoms and peoples.
Each of the Seven tribes along with the normal commodities specializes in a single one above others, for example one would be master leather tanners and skin workers whilst another would specialize in simple jewlery, another in better weapons and so on.

History: The first Tribe of Roc found its way to the islands whilst escaping from a bloodthirsty warlord that has since then perished as most of his kind do, they are originally escaped slaves with little knowledge of survival so their first years were very harsh leaving most of them lost to the cold winters and scalding summers. However the strongest and smartest survived and adapted to the climate, learning most of the secrets and bounties their new home had to offer, generations have passed since then and now they thrive on their island homes in peace.
Strengths: Highly adaptable to various ways of fighting and solving problems, agile and quick witted due to the unpredictable nature of their home.
