Korjüv

The Korjüv people are descendants of the Kodori, who originally were part of the Oqa . They make their homes in the Korjuv Highlands where they ride their horses and herd their goats and sheep through the alpine meadows. As for trading, they usually stop at trading posts in the few permanent towns in the highlands, where often the post owners will hire guides or adventurers to bring Korjüv goods down to the lowlands. Their culture has been shaped from their Oqa predecessors by the influence of their dwarven and Ōmish’a neighbors.
