[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6879728, member: 6803337"] - Keep the nasty guys on the other side of the river, on the OTHER side of the river; this land is ours but that land is theirs. - Legend tells of a Great Leader who will be made known by Signs. Somebody claims to be that Leader, and one of the Signs has manifested. Is he for real, or faking it? - Tribes keep raiding the civilized lands around some prominent landmark (like a mountain). In ages gone by, the landmark was part of one tribe's lands. That particular tribe picked a fight with the civilized people and was destroyed; the civilized people moved in to the now-empty territory. If a treaty could be negotiated to allow the tribes 'safe passage' to the mountain, the raids could end. - Tribe possesses a magical artifact of great power, but they know not what they own. Somebody would like to tell them (or steal it for himself). Complications ensue. - Tribe keeps a very primitive form of worship of a common god. Religious scholars might be interested in studying this - however the tribe thinks everybody but them is an accursed heretic! - Porcupine Totem tribe: leave me the heck alone. Visible boundary markers to warn all others. - One tribe has a lot of teenagers and is clearing a forest to make room for new farms. Tribe next door worships untouched nature and is offended. - Deer are food but Elk are sacred. Where can we find a band of Elk to bring to our lands? (enough to breed) - Two tribes are at war; another tribe has offered its good services to mediate the dispute. The PCs show up for a peace conference, having been (mis)informed it is a trade meet.
