Hill tribes

The hill tribes or mountain clans are barbarians who live in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon on the eastern fringes of the Vale of Arryn. They are divided into clans of varying size and strength. Three of the most notable are the Stone Crows, Burned Men and Black Ears, led by Shagga, Timett and Chella respectively.

In the books

In the Song of Ice and Fire novels a number of warrior clans eke out a mean existence in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon, including the Black Ears, Burned Men, Milk Snakes, Moon Brothers, Painted Dogs, Sons of the Mist and Stone Crows. They hold outsiders as enemies and wish to destroy House Arryn and loot the Vale for themselves, but lack the weapons and armour needed, particularly siege engines.
