Northlanders (based on real-life Germanic peoples) are of the most southern portion of Jekull, the End-of-Lands Glacier near the Deadwood Forest. They are very much like their southern cousins, the people of Mainland Eirene, save they are fairer of skin and hair. Fairly strongly built in general and are known for their loud voices. They are the most commonly encountered of the three Glacier-Dwelling Human groups. Many are fluent in Dwarven given their typically close relationships with them. They are mostly faithfuls of Ilîhum, though some cults of Titan Worship still remain.
Wicingacynn (based on real-life Vikings) are people of the western limits of Jekull, the End-of-Lands Glacier. A warrior people who have vast knowledge of naval experiences and warfare. They are known to have strong beliefs in displays of strength, cunning, trade, and tradition. The faith of Ilîhum is still new to them and most continue to believe in local Titan cults or the very harsh Dusn - a "god" said to only reward those who refuse to accept defeat and embodies courage while ignoring all others who would invoke his name for unworthy aid. Physically they are generally shorter compared to people from the Kingdom but are more stout and strong, sort of like taller Dwarves with fewer sporting beards. A history of battle is shared with their eastern neighbor the Lifthrasir.
Lifthrasir (based on on the Lifsons, who are based on old Norse people) are people of the eastern portion of Jekull, the End-of-Lands Glacier. They are next to a major ice-sea that is known as Ljosjar (Lake of Light), as it is known to glow at night due to the moonlight and ice. A people with warrior hertiage but living with respect for the lands around them, the Lifthrasir dwell contently. They are taller than many mainlanders and are of strong large builds, their skin is fair but their hair typically is dark. They believe in the various Titan based cults that their people have known since their history was recorded and know little to nothing of Ilîhum. They also have the practice of the Volva, a wisewoman, who aids them greatly with visions and magic and is respected often moreso than a ruler. Many traditionsl lie within their culture and they are known to be excellent crafters. They have some knowledge of seafaring. A history of battle is shared with their western neighbor the Wicingacynn.
