The Anglish and the Kambrians (Humans)

The Anglish

Most humans are descendants of the collapsed Arcadian Empire. Those who inhabit the island of Engweald are called the Anglish, and they have traditional first names. Surnames tend to either be the village or town they are from, or related to their profession, unless they are nobles. The humans of the northern duchies of Engweald (Spearmarsh, Northskot and Hundredhill) are hardy folk accustomed to cold, damp weather and simple rural life. The humans of the southern duchies (Warfield, Holtshire and Wickshire) are peasants, farmers, artisans, merchants, traders, and nobles living in the cradle of chivalry and magic, sheltered against the perils of the world.

The Kambrians

Other humans are descended from the original tribes that occupied Engweld and Iryalaan. Primitive and uncivilized compared to Anglish standards, the Kambrians have strong family ties. They bury their dead under rocky cairns or set them ablaze on funeral barges. Worshipers of a pantheon of elemental spirits, their surnames are passed down by their families. They are led by Druid Kings.
