Storvan
Hailing from Thunder Peak in Orovia, these group of Cre'tani were one of the first to migrate across the ocean to the other continent. Many of their kin in the northern flatlands of Kalvena remain, making them a people of two locations, but most still consider Thunder Peak their homeland for pilgrimages. Most of these individuals share an affinity for lightning from their namesake and deity they have sprung from.

Culture and cultural heritage
A culture of honor and combat. These people upon settling in their domain have been at odds against the dark creatures coming forth from The Pit. Unlike the Common Lands, there was no unifying huge force to push it back like the Dark Canyon. So the rift remains open still to this day, sponsoring much combat culture from these people
Shared customary codes and values
Honor always. Nothing to these people matters more than their honor in battle and out of battle. Disrespecting it is to challenge their namesake and their birthright.
Common Etiquette rules
