Brygath

Brygath culture is a direct descendant from Urgath culture.The divergence of traditions occurred during the traumaticfifth century of the Third Age. Disease took root among theherds of the Urgath, causing a desperate shortage of food andwealth among the Urgath tribes. Desperation bred change,and several Urgath tribes bound themselves to anopportunistic and power-hungry male elder of the Sahd tribe.Sahd's follwers rejected the matriarchal and semi-sedentaryways of the Urgath and turned to the large-scale raiding of their neighbors for sustenance. Before th great rebellion of the Brygath was complete, the tribes had journeyed into thewest, been soundly defeated by the armies of Gondor, anddriven back to their homelands in eastern Gathod.In the mid-Third Age, the Brygath share the plains of Gathodwith scattered Asdriags, Odhriags and Urgath. The Brygathare the most warlike of Gathod's tribes, but a lack of organization above the tribal level keeps them from doingany lasting harm to their neighbors. Despite the thoroughpenetration of the Brygath by the servants of Kerkassk, theBrygath persistently bleed away their own strength throughconstant feuding. Though Nemol has succeeded inchanneling some of this aggression toward the peoples of thewest through the migration of the Kharg Huka top Angmar,
