History of the Aranwyth
1335
Anlafi Horikson, while hunting in Prax, learned that a Bison clan was planning a
raid which was to strike through Battle Valley and into the poorly defend
steads in Forloss hills. He gathered the bloodline heads in the area and
convinced them of the danger that they faced and that they could not stand
against the barbarians as individuals. The bloodlines who lived nearest the
border with Prax quickly nominate him as leader. The others refused to have
him as leader, the Matriarch of the Erling said she did not trust him because
his feet smelt sour. A dangerous split threatened to form so Analf asked if
anyone knew of a more suitable person Two others where thrust forward by their
friends, Ottar and Ormond. But still the people where split so Anlafi suggested
that three clans should be formed. It was agreed and Clan rings where quickly
chosen and territories marked.
Anlaf sent out hunters too track the barbarians and find out their route of
march. Armed with this information he set up an ambush. A bunch of warriors
showed themselves and then fled when the Bison riders charged. It was a trick
and they were led into a bog. Before the nomads could pull themselves from
the mud the Orlanthi charged from the hills. The battle might still have been
lost where it not for the bravery and skill of Brognar a follower of Humakt and
brother to the new clan chief Ormond . He cut his way trough the Storm Bull
guard of the Bison Khan and struck him down. A feat made more wondrous by the
fact that he had already lost his shield arm earlier in the battle. That is
how Brognars Hill was named.

Gudrun Dodgydeal tricked a horse breeder and took his magical stallion. The
tribal lawspeakers denounced her practices. But she refused to abide by any
judgements, and fled north with her surrporters.
On their way she gathered much silver from breeding rights sold to the clans
they met. They finally came to rest in the Forloss hills buying land from the
Ottaring and Ormondi with the silver they brought. The scattered bloodlines
which still lived in Toena vale and had not joined a clan quickly swore
allegience to her when they saw the wealth she carried. That Sacred Time a new
clan was formed and she called it the Brown Horse.

Founding of a Tribe
A large band of Broos led by a Shaman of Thed setup home in some caves in the
in the Six Sisters. The Champion of the Ormondi an initiate of Humakt named
Aranwyth gathered the militia and attempted to track them down. But they were
ambushed and only Orlanths aid saved them. In the following days the broos
raided with impunity killing many. Aranwyth met the clan leaders of all four
clans and persuaded them that only closer ties and a more permanent union could
save them. The clan leaders said they would wait and talk more about the
forming of a tribe, but they placed there warriors under his command. Two days
of tracking and a short battle saw the destruction of the broo clan but also
the death of Aranwyth. A grateful people formed the tribe based on his ideas
and in 1424 they formed a tribal ring and they summoned a tribal Wyter. To
everyones surprise 4 spirits turned up.
