The Peoples of Scyltheld

The Scyltheldish are the descendants of those who followed Arthod the Great across the sea. While they share a common root, they are broadly divided into three distinct groups based on geography and tradition.

• The Scyltheldish (The Highmen): The dominant ethnic group inhabiting the high moorlands. They are the traditionalists and the lineage of the Cynrics (Kings).

• The Einarr (The Sea-Kin): Coastal dwellers who have melded with Orkfjarric culture. They are the master sailors and mediators of the north.

• The Wetterfjilder (The Lowlanders): Southern folk who have intermingled with the Reynessen and Leverchellen. They are a rising political power and a "sister culture" to the continent.

Physicality: Generally tall with pale skin. Hair ranges from ginger and blonde to light brown, often worn long and braided (though Wetterfjilder may favor shorter continental styles). Eyes are typically green or blue.

Scyltheldish & Einarr Naming Conventions:

• Male Names: Aelfred, Aelfwine, Eldward, Arthod, Beored, Eadbeorht, Sceldwea, Heremond.

• Female Names: Seaxburh, Aethelgifu, Osburg, Ealhflaed, Aebbe, Cyneswith, Mae, Eawynn.

• Surnames (Patronymic): [Father's Name] + son or dohter

  (e.g., Alfredson).

• Surnames (Dynastic): [Ancestor's Name] + ingas (e.g., Sceldweaingas).

Wetterfjilder Naming Conventions: Due to their closeness to the continent, Wetterfjilder characters often mix Scyltheldish first names with Reynessen or Leverchellen naming styles.

• Surnames: Often follow the "House Name" style (e.g., Fitzagne or de Broeliend) or use the traditional ingas suffix.
