The Barghast were a non-human pastoral nomadic warrior society who were found on several continents. The Barghast of Genabackis were concentrated in the Barghast Range. Generally larger than humans, they were often seen as exotic barbarians or savages by non-Barghast. They were divided into many clans with each hunter group identified through their woad tattooing. The tattoos depicted the history of their families going back as many as hundreds of generations. Rivalries between clans were fierce with some clans recognising others as their Avowed enemies. Duels to the death between rival clan members were common and tolerated at inter-clan gatherings.
