The Forosilvuli are a tribe of Rams who live to the south of the Black Eel valley, in a land called Forosan. They claim descent from Forosil Ferocious and Ornore, granddaughter of Vingkot. Supposedly, Forosil Ferocious was a star captain who came down from heaven to found the Forosilvuli tribe. They keep sakkars that fight with them in battle, and also wear sakkar skins and teeth. They particularly loathe the solar peoples, Hyalorings included.

Lights Going Out[]
The Forosilvuli is one of the possible targets of Brolarulf's Great Raid in the Lights Going Out prologue, setting up a special enmity between them and the player clan for the rest of the game
Like everyone else, the Forosilvuli have fallen on hard times in the Chaos Age. Forosan has become a largely wasted landscape, with depopulated clan territories and shattered villages. You can travel for days without meeting anyone else. A group of Forosilvuli refugees may come to Berenstead asking for adoption. If accepted, their leader will join your pool of potential ring members.
After discovery, it is possible to raid, and be raided by, the Forosilvuli.
On Exploration, there is a chance of finding the Tooth of Forosan, one of the Four Kingdoms treasures, here.

The clan ring says this about the Forosilvuli:
- "They are from Forosan. If that is the kingdom famed for its magicians."
- "Winter Wife's grandchildren, offspring of Forosil Ferocious, the Star Husband."
- "Forosil Ferocious came down from the heavens to found the Forosilvuli tribe. Not all Star Husbands are as untrustworthy."
- "Clans from the Forosilvuli borderlands sometimes raid us."
- "They live close enough to raid us. A goodwill gesture would not be wasted."
- "We have an advantage over the Forosilvuli or Vestantes, in that we ride and they don't. But Orlanth could favor either one of us."
- "When his advisors counseled war against the tiger kingdom, King Brolarulf said, 'Beware those teeth.'"
- "Their sabertooth tigers are also called sakkars."
- "Though the Forosilvuli occasionally send emissaries for good or ill, our relations with them lack complexity."
