Skogarmaor Clans
Like the Wendol and Badu, the Skogarmaor are divided into clans. At one point there were several dozen clans throughout their territory. Over the centuries these clans have fought each other over and over again. Now these days the constant inter clan wars have only left five clans standing.
The surviving clans are the Wulfing, Lothbrok, Hardrada, Gunderson, Borg.
Military

The Armor of the Skogarmaor is usually a leather brigandine or leather cuirass. Their vambraces are also made of leather. They carry a shield. As far as other forms of armor it’s whatever they’ve pillaged from settlements.
In the early days the Skogarmaor used the traditional weapons of the Badu. Over time they have developed their own unique weapons. Like the longsword and Dane axe. But with their raiding the Skogarmaor have replaced the longsword with the broadsword. They have added war hammers, pikes, and great swords to the arsenal as well. They still use a variety of one handed and two-handed axes.
As far as tactics go the Skogarmaor aren’t the most innovative. They tend to just recklessly charge head along into battle. This doesn’t mean you take them lightly. Before the charge the Skogarmaor work themselves into a frenzy. They will yell, curse, threaten, and insult the enemy in front of them. Once the buildup has finished, they’ll charge. Now the Skogarmaor don’t have any sizeable calvary forces in their ranks. This is due to the geography of their homeland. Usually what they do is hire the Wendol to provide reliable horsemen. The Wendol tend to stay out of the Skogarmaor infighting but sometimes they get an offer they can’t refuse.
Trade & Transport
Over the centuries the Skogarmaor developed the ability to build longships. These ships are meant for war. There are two kinds of ships a fifty man and hundred men. Now both ships will be similar in appearance but will differ in size. These ships also allow them to sail not only the open ocean but rivers. The Skogarmaor have turned to raiding and pillaging coastal settlements to gain wealth and materials.
