I'd be thinking about raising the bodies of my forefathers as Wights and Revenants and whatever else to track down and avenge my tribe - just in case I couldn't get the job done myself.I don't see the problem with 'cultural appropriation'.  If you treat the individual Uthgardt as sincere in their traditional way of life, the players should be able to roll with it.  D&D has always had strange exotic foreign cultures as a backdrop to the adventure.Note: I haven't looked over SKT so I'm not up-to-date on the details.  This proposal might not make sense in that context.</blockquote>
