"The Animal Nomads were content when the "cattle bastards"
kept mostly to the regions of No Man's March, the Better
Place, and the approaches to the Storm Hills and Moonbroth
Oasis"
RoC p14 or P&BR p60
The approaches to the Storm Hills is probably the hilly lands
between the Storm Hills and Prax. The Pol Joni generally inhabit
the northern parts as Biturian Varosh describes them as being
driven from Moonbroth Oasis by the Empire (CoP p39) although
they were badly beaten up by combined Praxian tribes before 1608
(KoS p144).

They come from the Dragon Pass Order of Battle for the Barbarian
Horde where they are distinguished from the Pol Joni clans.
Drastic: Prax mentions them as being separate from the Pol Joni,
although outsiders generally group them together as a single
tribe.
So from the description of "cattle bastards" living in the
approaches to the Storm Hills, I think the Amber, Antil
and Potor clans live around Barbarian Town.
