The Snakehair tribe

Lead by Cathal, son of Cathuk, the snakehair tribe are one of the six main orcish tribes, living on the plains of Lanabron. They pride themselves on their long, braided hair, which they only cut after reaching a point in their life in which they are unable to fight anymore.

Culture
The name "snakehair" comes from their tradition. Children of the snakehair clan are forbidden to cut their hair, until reaching adulthood. Upon becoming of age, the snakehair orcs have three main trials ahead of them, before being called men: They must lift a heavy boulder above their head, wrestle an angry bacrie, throwing it to the ground and run through a pit the length of two spears, filled with wood and set on fire. Upon completion, they are deemed to be warriors, and the tribal druid shaves the side of their heads and braid the remaining hair into snake braids, the symbol of a warrior.
