WILL WORK FOR FOOD
One constant is true across the Iron Kingdoms: everybody needs to

eat. In lean times, many of the wild peoples of western Immoren are
willing to put aside their differences and work together for mutual
survival. The primal need to eat and endure becomes a particular
challenge when one’s closest companions are enormous and voracious
warbeasts. Larger armed groups of wilderness warriors might muster
to offer their services in exchange for food, weapons, or other barter
to see them through the lean months. For some, the most eagerly
anticipated treasure is the great volume of meat that can be butchered
from the fallen and consumed in the aftermath of battle.
