Tribe Proudward
One of the five tribes inhabiting the Oskos wilds. The tribe worshiped Sondarr, who is also the founder of the tribe. The tribe inhabits the southern part of the wild. The only civilians of the tribe are small children and the elderly. All capable members are since young age practicing combat training of a kind. Also, most of the high-ranking members are military commanders. Many groups of this tribe venture into the southern part of the Githia sultanate desert. There they work as mercenaries fighting monsters and bandits while seeking challenges.
Structure
At the center of the tribe is a clan of the same name that is of direct descent from the god and founder. The leader of the tribe is always the first child of the previous leader. The other high-ranking members are sort of military commanders. To be considered a candidate for this position, one must prove to be equal in combat capabilities to the current commander. Usually, commanders choose their successors from the candidates, but if that is not possible, the leader of the clan will do it themself.
There is also one smaller group within the tribe that does not lead a nomadic life but stays in one place. These are the caretakers of the challenger's fort, and they reside in a small camp near the fort. They are sworn to secrecy about the inner workings of the fort and its challenges. Due to this, they rarely speak even among themself. Nobody is told the secrets of the fort, as each member has to discover and understand them on their own. The leader of this group is its oldest member, as they know the most about the fort. The only time in the year when the group leaves their camp is to attend the festival in Mythstorm.

Territories
The tribe spends most of the year wandering the southern parts of the wilds. Twice a year, the tribe also travels along the edge of the Githia desert. However, they generally do not spend most of their time there due to their relationship with the sultanate.
Religion
Originally, the worship of the tribe concentrated on their patron deity and founder, Sondarr, with cursory worship of the other gods. However, their worship ended with the divine age, and none of the gods that once ruled the wilds are no longer worshipped by the tribe. The gods are not forgotten even today. They are still remembered, but mostly in their pre-ascension form.
