“Life is movement, Stillness is Death.”
In the western deserts, survival is not something that can be taken for granted. Among the harshness of both the land and life itself, the Free Tribes have learned to rely on one another.
These nomadic clans came together to survive, eventually becoming known as the Free Tribes.
Life in the Western Deserts
The Free Tribes are commonly encountered throughout the western deserts. Rather than facing the challenges of the land alone, they unite among themselves, relying on resilience and strength to overcome their opponents.
Their beliefs are centered around the idea that anything can be conquered by one's own hands. For the Free Tribes, strength stands above all else.
Their way of life is reflected in their motto
“Life is movement, Stillness is Death.”
From Nomadic Clans to the Free Tribes
As many years passed, these nomadic clans became known as the Free Tribes.
What began as alliances between the clans developed into something more. Over time, they became not only allies but true companions to their bestial comrades.
This relationship led to the blending of human and creature blood, creating a vast array of half-breeds.
A People Without a Single Home
The Free Tribes do not claim a single place as their home.
Instead, they consider the entire world their homeland.
They live freely wherever they roam, continuing their nomadic way of life rather than settling in one particular location. Their freedom and constant movement remain central to who they are.
Strength, Freedom, and Movement
The Free Tribes are defined by their ability to survive together, their resilience against their opponents, and their belief in their own strength.
From the western deserts to wherever their travels take them, they continue to roam freely, claiming the world itself as their homeland.
Gameplay
A good match if: you enjoy putting your opponent under pressure while keeping your positioning flexible.
The Free Tribes combine strong attacking potential with strong movement in the rulebook's faction profile. Their strength stays relatively consistent throughout the game, making them an appealing starting point if you want an active playstyle without building your whole plan around one particular phase.
Their nomadic identity also gives you a clear fantasy to build around: resilient clans and bestial companions who value strength and freedom.
Try this approach: look for attacks that improve your control of the battleground, then check how your movement options can support the next turn. A powerful creature still needs the right angle of attack.
