Nordejar

Nordejar are a type of human who have adapted to their harsh environment in the great Northern Wastes. Nordejar are tribal by nature and tend to live off of wild game and make their homes in small, clan-oriented villages. Due to their hard conditioning and inhospitable homeland, most barbarians become very strong. Nordejar are extremely confident in their abilities on the battlefield and often wade into combat heedless of the consequences.

Fierce in spirit, the Nordejar make their home in the great Mountains of the Maw in small villages with their tribes. Some Nordejar clans are nomadic, following the herds of animals that survive in the icy north and living off the land, while others live in small villages, tending flocks, hunting, and fishing. Nordejar are confident fighters, and take pride in their melee prowess.
The Nordejar are people of their principles – once they have made a promise, they will seldom go back on it unless they have been betrayed or deceived in some way. Always willing to help those who approach them, their welcoming nature often affords too many second chances to those who would take advantage of their camaraderie. Nordejar respect the right of the strongest – whether it be in physical might or cautious wisdom – to lead. The subtle politics and interpersonal tension of other cultures, however, are of little interest; disputes are better and more easily settled with Voejitav, an honorable battle between two parties at odds.
Nordejar clothing focuses on functionality, practicality, and remaining close with the natural order. The fashions vary per tribe based on what they have readily available. Many craft their clothing out of the hides of their hunts, leaving nothing to waste once their people have been fed. Some tribes tend flocks, weaving wool and natural fibers to create warm fabrics. Nordejar armor is typically comprised of toughened leather, roughly forged metals, and thick scales; living in the harsh mountains and never knowing what to expect.
