I like this - a thoroughly thought-provoking prompt !
For once I wrote a story about the Mugaddi barbarians from my D&D world that didn't just use them as a source of comic relief 😀

Between here and Facebook groups this one has had a pretty good series of responses! (I started linking to my PeakD posts on a worldbuilding group and it's been really effective)
