Skovlander

If you want to be from a marginalized people, you could be from Skovlan, the island kingdom just across the sea from Doskvol. Skovlan was last to be brought under Imperial rule, over the course of the 36-year Unity War (which ended only a few years ago). Many Skovlander refugees who lost their homes and jobs in the destruction of the war have come to Doskvol seeking new opportunities.^{[1]: 53}

Second most common are the Skovlanders, the original indigenous people of the north, whose people and cultures resemble those across Scandinavia and the northern British Isles. Many Skovlander refugees have come to the city throughout the Unity War, building up a very large population of laborers, skilled craftspeople, and other trades of the working-class. Some Akorosi look down on the Skovlanders as traitors to the Empire and treat them poorly.^{[1]: 239}

Skovlan was the last holdout against Imperial control. ^{[1]: 308}
