Barbarian Tribes of the Elder Wastes

In this setting humans are expanding territory and clashing with other races who are doing  the same. Since the fall of two magical empires ruling for most of history, huge frontiers are being opened. City states, wizard kingdoms and barbarians all hate each other. The city states are theocracies and local wizards have to be affiliated with a temple.
