Tetsugawans

Tetsugawa is easternmost kingdom in Sildair. It is inhabited by the Tetsugawans, who are a proud people ravaged by a devastating civilwar. During the second War of Ashes Tetsugawa remained isolated, but instead a bloody civil war broke out, that lasted for two centuries, long after the War of Ashes had ended. The scar of the civilwar can still be felt among the Tetsugawans, and they are still a warlike people.

The Tetsugawans are humans, possibly with some elven blood. Dwarves are very rare in the east. They tend to have olive skin, with black straight hair.

In Tetsugawa, the four gods of the elements are the ones revered the most, Luseidos whom they call Shuge, Liadriel whom they call Sorano'o, Rhya whom they call Shimegami, and Ethelaius whom they call Arashisan. Yanlei is also greatly respected, and the Temple of Tears has a presense in Tetsugawa.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Tetsugawans speak their own language, Tetsugawan, and due to their isolation rarely speak other languages. The Suihainese have had a big cultural influence on Tetsugawa in the early Golden Epoch, so Suihanese is by far the most common second language for Tetsugawans, unless they have traveled. When they have they are as likely to speak Perikonese or Geshan as they are to speak Sarkaran or Dunorian.
