Mire Folk
A catch all term that to refer to the various tribes that have found a way to live within the mire, these are mainly Grung and Ratmen and black Kobolds but a few other species have also etched out a living.
Tribes
Tribal villages are often built on raised ground, either built on hills or raised stilts, each village numbers around hundred members. When a tribe gets too big it'll divide up into several new tribes thus keeps the strain on the land to a minimum. Likewise if a tribe ever got to small to sustain itself the members would split up and join other tribes to make sure they survived.Naming Traditions
