Nordmanner
|
|
The men of the far north, they are not seen much in the southlands. Distant cousins
to the Machtig, they have some physical and cultural similarlities, but attenuated
by three thousand years of simultaneous development. Their culture is far more stratified
than that of the Machtig, with alleged noble ranks and a vaneer of civility on the
surface, but their civilization is really a collection of competing city states,
counties, petty fiefdoms, and robber baronys.

They are often called Karkmen in the south because during their great war with the
Witchlord's of Vorgaa the warring Counties and clans mostly banded together under
the leadership of the County of Kark, which stradles the Lowpass over the Dregga
mountains into lands that were once Vorgaa. The Karkallian Confederacy has been
gone for almost 2000 years however. The so-called Karkmen typically refer to themselves
by their county or city-state, or if they have to use a collective term they will
call themselves the Nordmnner.
