02-23-07, 03:25 AM There isn't really any published material that talks about the barbarian tribes of greyhawk. It's all dependant on the campaign setting. If you look in the campaign setting books you can probably find some information, but there isn't much that goes into the details of individual tribes. It's pretty much just left up to the DM or player to make it up.

The only published material that comes to mind is some of the 2nd Ed stuff. I also don't know if you've looked but there are two old Forgotten Realms setting books available online on this website, one of which is for the FR version of the Mongol Hordes, the other of which is meant for the north western part of Faerun, featuring a couple of different examples of barbarian cultures. Check out the downloads section for out of print materials.
