The hill tribes are a frequent danger to travelers along the Eastern Road which crosses over the mountain into the Vale from the Riverlands. They are quite ferocious and will often resort to violence at slight provocations. However, they are not entirely uncivilized: sometimes when a member from one tribe kills a member from another, their leaders have been known to negotiate a non-violent end to the feud by demanding blood money be paid as compensation by the offending tribe.
