Stone Knives tribe

The Stone Knives was a Batiri goblin tribe that inhabited the jungles of Samarach on the Wild Coast side of the Chultan Peninsula in the late 14 century DR.

Possessions
Members of the Stone Knives tribe were known to use typical Batiri items, weapons, and armor, including a special type of arrows called keening reeds and spears of onyx, as well as more mundane weapons such as kamas and bastard swords. The tribe carved totems that decorated their caverns and the entrance into the lair.

History
If Batiri legend was to be believed, the tribe was formed after goblins discovered the Heart of the Samarlogh, a massive boulder landmark. It possessed some magical properties and when goblins managed to break a piece of it for themselves, the boulder's magics jew imbued on the so-called Shard of the Samarlogh. The shard was shaped into an enchanted shortsword and became the tribe's namesake.

As of the, the Stone Knives had a lair in the mountains to the east of Omgar's Teeth from where they raided the shores and ventured deeper into the region's jungles. During that time, the Stone Knives were led by Chieftain Zhechrrog and a group of matrons and elders, who waged war against the hater Batiri Shattered Spear tribe. At some point in or shortly before 1373 DR, Stone Knives stole Shattered Spear's namesake revered heirloom, and in retaliation, the Spears drove the Knives out of their previous home – jungles of Samarlogh.

When the ill-fated Vigilant vessel crashed onto Omgar's Teeth, Stone Knives raided the wreck, murdering and capturing a handful of survivors of the crash, including hin Captain Lastri Kassireh and her First Mate Kadjin. Captain Kassireh recalled her crew members begging for their lives before being murdered and the screams of Kadjin as he was cooked and devoured by the goblins. When a group of adventurers hired by merchant Sa'Sani of Samargol arrived to rescue the survivors, only Lastri Kassireh was still alive. The Chieftain attempted to plead and lie her way out of the situation, but Lastri exposed the goblin's lies. A battle ensued, and many of the tribesmen were slain in the process, including Chieftain Zhechrrog herself.
