Miniatures Setting Questions

[Ketjak]

I've been opening a few boosters o' D&D here and there and am wondering:

What's a Bladebearer Hobgoblin? Some tribe?
What's a Graycloak Ranger? An order?
What's a Carrion Tribe Barbarian?

I think I have a few others I haven't asked - I'll have to look over what I have and follow up.

I'm not familiar with FR, so it's conceivable to me that this might be a few FR references.

Bladbearer Hobgoblins are a tribe from Eberron. So are Carrion Tribe Barbarians.

I believe the ranger's are from the Forgotten Realms, but I'm not sure.

They are. The Greycloak Rangers hail from the elven city of Evereska, in the Greycloak Hills.
