Nûklanders

Beginning at Nieuburg in Estenfird and reaching north to the Endless Glacier that marks the edge of the world lays Nûkland. The Nûklanders are a different race than the human Northlanders, a race that foreigners would describe as elven. The average Nûklander is short, slender of build, and dark of skin and hair. They have long faces with small, broad noses, pointed ears, and eyes possessing slightly folded lids. Nûklanders have a second inner eyelid that is transparent and seems to serve to protect the eye from the sun and cold, but also gives them the look of perpetually staring, as they rarely blink. Despite their slight build, Nûklanders do not suffer from the great cold of their icy homeland; indeed, they tend not to feel the cold at all due to their innate resistance derived from their inherently magical nature.
While the Northlanders consider the Nûklanders to be natives of the area, they are in fact rather recent settlers, having been led to their current homeland nearly 3,000 years ago by a god the Nûk have since abandoned.
