Edwistburgians

The Edwistburgians were the citizens of Edwistburg before its demise.
Even before this point, in the years leading up to the great raid, King Sumphyr of Wahstrehite would continue to unfairly oppress these peoples. Most surmised it was because of the unfortunate close proximity of the territory to the The Wahstrehite Kingdom. There was nothing that could be done to move the land.
Some suggested that the Edwistburgians appease the King of the West and move inwards, but the people were known for being steadfast. They did not want to give any bit of satisfaction to the Wahstrehite by showing fear at any of their tactics. Sadly, many knew that it was only a matter of time before the unfair king would utilize unnecessary strength and power to vanquish the people, take over the land, and ruin their settlement.
The remnants of these people exist today and are known as the Remaining Edwistburgians. Their way of life is nothing as it once was.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

The people of Edwistburg were seen to many (especially those of the surrounding kingdoms) as plain and often boring. The women did not wear much makeup or elaborate clothing and the men did not show out in fancy armor and such. The bare necessities were cherished as the simple things in life were always valued. Many Edwisburgians had dark, wavy, or curly hair. Many had freckles and other such "blemishes" on their skin. As a working people, they would wear clothing that was comfortable and practical for accomplishing tasks such as farming, gardening, hunting, fishing, making, and crafting. As a result, such was known as beauty to other Edwistburgians because of the nature of the people and the work ethic they held so highly.

Gender Ideals

Though, like most people in the area around this time, the man was seen as a protector and the woman as a nurturer, the people of Edwistburg were a bit more open to women and men being considered somewhat equal. The The Mundbyrdians of Edwistburg allowed more women to fight if they so chose than was known to be in the time of its existence.
Even still, there were ideals surrounding marriage that separated the women and the men. Weddings would bring great feasts that gathered families together. Afterwards, the men would leave and the women would have the town to themselves to celebrate the bride. Unfortunately, when the The Wahstrehite Kingdom learned of this tradition, they used it to their advantage, bringing about the Demise of Edwistburg.
