They wear mostly furs and pelts as armor, styling themselves after the likeness of wilderness animals.
They primarily use primitive weapons made from stone or tusk.
It would be their defeat at the hands of Tiber Septim that would begin a long period of exile from their lands, and the beginning of Tiber Septim’s career as a Commander and (eventually) Emperor.They are a tribal people, mostly composed of Bretons from High Rock. In some accounts of Tiber Septim’s conquest they are referred to as the Witchmen of High Rock, sometimes they are the Madmen of the Reach, Reachmen, or the Forsworn.
This is taken from from the the book The Madmen of the Reach: A Cultural Treatise on the Forsworn as written by Arrianus Arius.You may have heard mention of the Forsworn in the past, without really knowing it, for they go by many different names. “Since the legendary victory of Tiber Septim over the “barbarian natives” in the Battle of Old Hroldan, Imperial and Nord scholarship has cast the people of the Reach as little more than savages, prone to irrational fits of violence, worshipping old, heretical gods, and fetishizing beasts and nature spirits that any civilized person would best well avoid.”
