Marunites
The Marunites were a Ren Berig tribe that inhabited lands in the Western Commons.
Structure
Like most Ren Berig tribes, the Marunites consisted of a number of families ruled by a chieftain.
History
Like most other Ren Berig tribes, the Marunites were constantly at war with their counterparts, engaging in frequent cattle raids and other skirmishes. Despite the fact that such raids were commonplace, the Marunites gained a reputation for especially cruel attacks, often targeting the administrative centers of other tribes and absorbing their lands completely. For this reason, the Marunite tribe was three times the size of most of its neighbors by the year 8083.
Disbandment
The Marunites were largely destroyed following their raid on the Gerendars at Boulder Glade in 8083. Though the raid, the final battle of a larger war, was successful, a group of adventurers accompanying Lord Mallan Wolfram of Brooder's Crossing killed nearly all of their Druids in an attempt to rescue the Gerendar druidess Blue Eagle. Without spiritual leaders, the tribe fell into chaos and was unable to attain a good harvest the following Autumn. Marunite lands were then absorbed into the lands of the Dalcassians, another Ren Berig tribe.
