Erutaki
Erutaki are a collection of peoples who live in the far north of Golarion, among the glaciers of the Crown of the World. They’re a short, compact people, with rich, terra-cotta skin—often weathered by the icy winds of their homeland—and straight black hair that both men and women tend to wear short. Many Erutaki are semi-nomadic, following the migrations of reindeer or musk oxen, while others live along the coasts, fishing and whaling in the rich waters off the Crown of the World. Living in such a harsh environment, Erutaki are constantly aware of the limits of human power, and strive to live with nature rather than fighting it. Erutaki masculine names include Aklaq, Oki, and Tulimak; feminine names include Aluki, Liak, and Noayak; and gender-neutral names include Amaruq, Miki, and Yuka. Many Erutaki names are names of animals or places with desirable qualities, such as Uqalik, or “snow hare.”
