Guhrian

Guhrians are an ethnic group native to the Lakelands of the eastern Etrarian continent. These peoples described an abundance of resources such as fresh water, airable land, and large forests. They had cordial trade relationships with the Adonian peoples. The Lakelands they settled lacked precious metals they needed for many of their tools and weapons (the latter of which they had little use of). These early Guhrians were peaceful, communal, and agrarian, with many Guhrians having talents in carpentry and wood-working. Ancient Guhrians practiced a complicated series of dances and movements which would evolve over time into their unique form of martial arts. Guhrians became known as excellent hand to hand combatants and excelled with use of the bo staff.  
During the Fall of the Adonian Empire, Guhrian prosperity began to suffer. Trade was heavily disrupted and resources the Guhrians had little of, such as metal, became scarce.
Writings from this time, albeit scant, describe being abandoned by their patron god, Eubra. According to Guhrian legend, this god had protected them from their northern neighbors, the Lucerian peoples, who invaded their homeland. The Lucerians pillaged and plundered their homes, enslaving men and taking women as they pleased. They were resisted by Caraklys. 
Following the Fall of the Adonian Empire and their expulsion, Guhrian cultural themes during this time involved loss, abandonment, and a cry to return to their homeland. For centuries they enjoyed the protection of their god which allowed them to be largely pacifistic but were forced to face hard truths during the diaspora. 
At some point during this period, the legendary Guhrian Hero Ealian Lionheart. This was the beginning of a new start for Guhrians, who found a new homeland in the woodlands south of the Lakelands. Ealian took the Lion as his sigil, which remained a symbol of Guhrian strength since.
Modern Guhrian scholars, historians, and priests are divided on this period of diaspora. While some embrace their history as a period of being tested by their current patron god, many dismiss these old wounds as heretical teachings of weak willed Guhrians. Even so, few modern Guhrians know of Eubra and their old religious myths.
Society Largely forgotten by the modern world, ancient Guhrians were known as agreeable, cooperative, and hospitable. Their culture was largely homogenous, involving rituals of baptism in the great lake. They were an agrarian populace that developed sophisticated methods of agriculture. They enjoyed a wealth of fresh water, airable land, temperate climate, and abundance of wood. Only a small subset of Guhrians were trained martially and although respected, they were often looked down upon for their interest and skill in violence.

Modern Guhrians are stereotyped as quiet, stoic, and just who are excellent in hand to hand combat
