Cannibals

[KaiserNoncehelmIII]

Aany chance of a cannibal trait for the thenns/ice river clans? Then you could eat prisoners and they can have the 'eaten' trait

The Thenns aren't cannibals in the books, the Skagosi are.

I know but I thought that the ice river clans were instead that's why I put the slash. Maybe I'm just confused, I thought the skagos was the unicorn Ireland, under the Lord of Winterfell where Rickon was sent

A couple of the clans/tribes beyond the Wall are mentioned as cannibals in the World Book - I think that the Ice River clans are mentioned.
The Skagosi, or Stoneborn as they call themselves, are something of an enigma at the moment, probably intentionally so. We know very little about them, and most of it is innuendo and rumour. We know that there are at least two "Houses" on Skagos, and that the island technically acknowledges the Starks as their overlords. We know that the generations after Cregan Stark had to put down a bloody rebellion, which cost the life of at least one Lord Stark (Lord Barthogan "Barth Blacksword" Stark). It is stated that the Skagosi are clannish, and more "old school" as it were First Men - Roose Bolton believes that they still practice the First Night. Several characters believe that the Skagosi are cannibals, although the general fan assumption is that it is old tales to keep outsiders away. They also apparently ride unicorns - which seem to be very hairy and less elegant as it were than the traditional tales of such beasts. It is also implied that it is to the Skagosi that Osha fled with Rickon to hide the heir to Winterfell until the Starks can be restored by their faithful vassals.
So, we only definitely know about one clan group beyond the Wall probably practising cannibalism, and unsubstantiated rumours about the Stoneborn. So, I don't know if it is overly worth it. Then again, any kind of flavour would be nice, so.

Thank you this is very useful

Are there cannibals in essos?

 

[KaiserNoncehelmIII]

In the Grey waste (the edge of the map of esso) there is a desert called 'cannibal sands'. In most societies there have been strange outcasts that do weird stuff like cannibalism so it could be an event chain for anyone with the lunatic trait, Essos or beyond... Either way, I want to eat my prisoners not flay them! And I don't think you can have a full wildling experience without a healthy bit of cannibalism.

Perhaps pirates should be able to become cannibals. They live in strange islands after all.

Not a bad idea. I'll put something together.

A hefty prestige and piety boost for eating high value prisoners would be pretty great.

The great thing about this is that it could almost certainly lead to crazy Targs eating imprisoned baby Targs, due to how it will likely tie into lunacy. Because of this, I approve wholeheartedly.
