Ramithi

Before the coming of the Hyperboreans, a number of human clans lived on Ramthion Island. These piratical people were known for raiding shipping as far north as Legions Bay and as far south and west as the Mouth of Akados. Though the Hyperboreans colonized the island, the local clans remained frustratingly independent and chafed under the attempts of the imperators to bring them to heel, though they were eventually driven to the swampy peninsula known as the Sea Dagger. When Curgantium was destroyed and The Plains of Suilley and the Matagost Forest were set aflame, the Hyperboreans withdrew, while groups of refugees fled across the Dardanal Straight to Ramthion Island, where the local clans welcomed them.
The refugees settled in the lowlands of the rest of the island, and for a while there was peace.
Unfortunately, Ramthion’s respite did not last long, for soon the bloodthirsty Heldring invaded, and the islanders traded one oppressor for another. Together, the old Ramithi clans and the newly settled refugees resisted the Heldring invaders and eventually succeeded in driving them off the island.
Through their collective efforts, the refugee settlers and the old Ramithi clans intermarried with each other and came to identify themselves as one people. Today, all of the native inhabitants of the island identify themselves as being directly descended from the Ramithi clans, though probably only around 20 percent have any more than a fictional blood tie. The Ramithi have tawny skin and dark hair. They are usually shaven with elaborate moustaches and sideburns. Their heritage is that of a sea people, but they have had to become warlike over the generations due to repeated invasions of their home island.
The Ramithi exclusively speak Gasquen and refuse to speak Common with its Helvaenic influences.
