Hello, I search informations on the following tribes :
Blue Bear, Great Worm, Griffon, Tree Ghost and Thunderbeast.
I know the Silver Marches and Faith and Pantheons in 3rd edition, but there are none or litte informations.
Are there other books with informations or official articles on the site of WotC ? If yes, can you indicate me where I must search, please ?
I search in particularly a tribe linked to fiend, I believe that it's the case for the Blue Bear Tribe because I will like a barbarian with a rage as a possession by a fiend.
Thanks for your future answer.

I know that the Blue Bear tribe had something to do with Hellsgate Keep in the High Forest. If i'm not mistaken they were lead to evil by a fiend and were pretty much destroyed with the fall of Hellsgate Keep.
That information i found in the North boxed set which is available for free in the WoTC website. I'm not sure if the Volo's Guide to the North had any mention of the tribes you are looking for...

Great Worm, Griffon, Tree Ghost, and Thunderbeast tribe are described very brief in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, p. 168.
There is a tome of 2ed. lore freely downloadable at WotC called “The North”: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frx/20050428a
which has a much richer description of the different tribes. It contains even some lore about the Blue Bear tribe which was aligned with Hellgate Keep (section “History”, p. 14-15). There is not much left of them (p. 19).
Edit: Volo's Guide to the North contains only a single sentence on p. 207:
quote:
It [= Jalanthar] is often raided by orcs and the evil Blue Bear barbarian tribe, which is allied with Hellgate Keep.

| I think there's more on the Blue Bear tribe's later history in Ruins of Hellgate Keep - and even more on the remains of the tribe in Son of Thunder (a novel). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

There's more information on a survivor of the Blue Bear tribe in City of Splendors: Waterdeep.
In addition, you can find some here:

For more information on the Thunderbeast tribe, read "Son of Thunder", by Murray Leeder.

| Material on the Tree Ghosts in Son of Thunder as well (and perhaps just a bit on the Blue Bears -- one of the tribe's survivors puts in a brief appearance). You may also want to look at my web story "The Bones of the Beast" for info on the Uthgardts' history. |
