Crow Tribe

The Great Carrion Crow is a terrifying god: a gigantic, slightly skeletal bird, its rotting flesh riven with diseases and maggots writhing in its belly. This is the form in which the Chaos god known as Nurgle chooses to show himself to the tribesmen of the north. The Marauders of the Crow believe that the flight of a crow tells of death: of eyes without life, of the slow lingering end of agonising wounds. The Marauders of the Crow tribe are grim men, finding the fulfillment they seek in the horrors of battle. It is their belief that suffering and misery are enjoyable things. They carry heavy flails into battle, caring little if they strike their own warrior brothers as well as their enemies.

The wind often blows from the north, bringing all sorts of plagues and diseases with it. Suffering a plague is considered a deed that pleases their patron god, so when word of a new disease reaches them, they pray that they too will be blessed by their god. Miraculously, many of the tribesmen survive these ordeals and are even strengthened by them.

Those that are captured by the Tribe of the Crow are tortured to death. While this goes on, the pitiless Barbarians encourage the poor unfortunate souls to suffer in silence, as their god approves of those who accept their fate. After that they are buried deep, often still alive. This is not done out of respect, but because the earth below is seen as the domain of the Crow god and the soul of the damned prisoner will be consumed by the god of pestilence as he slowly rots below the ground.
