Castorhagers

Scholars debate whether the folk of Castorhage (known as Castorhagers in polite society and “Blighters” everywhere else) should be considered a unique ethnicity. Most of the people of the city-state are derived from various groups found throughout central Akados, and in that regard are similar to those who are labeled Foerdewaith. That being said, Castorhagi society has existed on Insula Lymossus for more than 3,500 years, and the culture and outlook of the people have clearly been heavily influenced by the city in which they live.   This is most clearly the case with respect to the people known as the “Blighted” who make up perhaps a third of the human population of the city. They bear the mark of living in the Blight in body and soul, and show an unusual degree of physical affinity for their position or occupation, as if the city has crept into them and become a part of their very being. Though the Blighted are ordinary on the streets of the city-state, outsiders find something just a bit off about them, as if they carry with them a bit of the ill-regarded city.   Castorhagers are divided into several different castes, the most common of which are the Lowfolk. They speak Common (or a slightly modified version thereof).
