Category:Bloodhand Tribe

Led by Larga Bloodhand, the Bloodhand tribe was an outlander tribe of orcs from Faerun. When the Mists began taking areas near Phlan, the Mists also took Bloodhands, ultimately ending in Barovia for a time. Despite betrayal by a shaman and a war with the yuan ti, the Bloodhands were eventually able to make their way back to Faerun.

History

On Faerun, the Bloodhand Tribe came into conflict with some yuan ti of the Glumpen Swamp when the latter began abducting and enslaving Bloodhand orcs. Through successive attacks, the yuan ti were eventually successful in capturing a third of the orcs, including Larga. In her absence, Gagg Shinbreaker took over leadership of the Tribe.However, sometime during the orc-yuan ti warring, the Mists snatched Glumpen Swamp, many of the surrounding areas, and all the creatures inside- orcs and yuan ti included.

For a time, the Bloodhands tried to find their way back home, but the endeavor proved hopeless. The Bloodhands eventually encountered Sybil Raisa, whom performed a number of [[tarokka] readings for them. Impressed with her skills as a seer, the subsequently enslaved her. At some time, they were also able to capture another person for enslavement: an elf wizard named Ixusaxa Terrorsong.

Following Sybil's advice to find and liberate Larga, the Bloodhands raided passing caravans going to the Barovian town of Orașnou. This was done to force some assistance from the humans. The Bloodhands entreated adventurers to find the yuuan ti and free Larga in return for a reward and cessation of raiding,
