A'ight. Kinda doin' this as I go along, so bear with me. Or rabbit with me. Whichever.
Ethaliri: Migrating from lands unknown, branching off from a country ruled by a tyrant, the Ethalirii are a tall, dark skinned people, with generally long hair, always in varying degrees of black. Hailing from colder climes, where one must fight to survive, the Ethalirii are naturally strong, and are seemingly unable to become out of shape. They generally range from two to three hundred pounds, very little if any of it fat.
The typical city in Ethaliri is a low to the ground, but large great hall, moving outwards in a wheel-and-spoke pattern. Most have four main gates, some less (but never more), each guarded by two guard towers, with ballistae at each opening. Every town is headed by a Jarl, each province by a Luurk, and the country by a Blierk, determined by a combination of blood and combat prowess.
The Ethalirii are commonly warriors, and bowmen and crossbowmen are somewhat uncommon, but not quite unheard of. The common battle armor consists of thick furs, usually bear hide, with the animal's head aligned on each shoulder, and one so that the warriors head appears between its jaws. The claws are used as gloves,while below the waist, everything is orthodox fur and leather. The most commonly used weapon is a large, two handed hammer, with axes less common, and swords, due to the amount of metal they use, mostly restricted to higher ranking officers (generally the Blierk, Luurk, and their lieutenants).
