Portrait of Niferas Society
Niferas
The orcs of the Niferas tribes are a people driven into exile, driven from their homelands during a war with the pridebloods.
Having lost their leaders, their lands and their pride, the Niferas tribes have taken refuge in the cursed mountains Everhollow caves, last refuge and gravesite for the landless of Nivaria.

Fallen but not broken, the Niferas tribes are a people at a crossroad for their people, the young warriors of the tribes seeking to raid the lands surrounding the mountains, seeking to live off the weaker societies and avenging the kin by killing the prideblood mercenaries guarding the caravans, while the elders seek to brave the dangers of the lower Everhollow hoping, in desperation perhaps, to find a haven for their people to survive below ground.

A people divided

The Niferas lost their greatest leaders during the war with the pridebloods. Even in their weakened state, their people seek retribution for their loss of kin, land and honor. The Niferas might never have been fully united, but now that they've suffered defeat worse than any other there has never been as much division between the elders seeking to keep the tribes alive and the young seeking to avenge the deaths of their fathers and brothers at any cost.

Disagreements, internal strife and bickering, the people hoping for a strong leader to rise up from their ashes to bring them back to the glory they once had.

Warrior culture

With the loss of their lands and the loss of their warriors the Niferas have begun to train all their members as warriors or smiths and witchdoctors aiding their warriors. No more need have the Niferas of tillers when there's no more dirt to toil, no more fishers when there's no more waters to sail and no more peacetalkers when there's nothing but war left to survive.

Home in the cursed mountain

To call the Everhollow home is a black omen on all doing so. Small remnants of the cultures that have done so in the past still residing in the cavern complex serving as a reminder of what might befall them one day if they stay here.
To most, the gloomy reminders of the unknown fate that might befall them cause them to despair and live risky lives in the gangs that settle the open lands of the Glacianths, while the most daring of the warriors prepare for something coming out from the deep ready to fight it with a warriors might that it has never known before.

Everhollow Caverns

The caverns of Everhollow Mountain has a long history of being a shelter to the exiles of Nivaria. With a mountainside shielding the many caves and entryways from the harsh winds sweeping the plains, the mountains are seemingly an ideal place to live for those not likely to handle the worst of the elements outside.

Though lacking in supplies of food, one has to wonder why this place has seemingly been abandoned as often as it has. Could it be that there are unknown dangers about or might they have migrated to the unknown depths below?

For now, the upper caves are the domain of the orcs, and have been since their exile by the Pridebloods from their ancestral homeland. Plotting their return deep in the pits of Everhollow.
