Daanites
The native residents of the island of Ynys Cymragh (known as Insula Extremis to the Hyperboreans), Daanites tend to be well-muscled if a bit shorter than the average, with ruddy or freckled skin, and hair ranging from brown to red. Their eyes likewise range from brown to blues and greens. They are rare sights outside of their island, though some trade widely, as far as Castorhage.
The folk of Ynys Cymragh took the name Daanite in honor of their high king Daan, who perished after slaying the undead imperatrix of Hyperborea at Tircople in 2584 I.R. Most people of Akados hold the Daanites in varying degrees of reverence for their sacrifice in ending that dark queen’s rule.
The Daanites speak their own language, known as Ogham, though most speak Common as well. The formal name of the world, Lloegyr, is derived from Ogham, and literally means “Lost Lands” in that tongue. While most use the term to refer to the entire world, when Daanites use it they mean the world other than their home island of Ynys Cymragh.
