West-Þirks
The west-þirks1 are a human tribe inhabiting the westernmost regions of the kingdom of Keþía in eastern Gráhúlysía, around the village of Jaka.
They are related to the East-Þirks and the two originally one people, but split due to internal disputes about whether or not joining forces with neighbouring orcish tribes to the east. Those who refused migrated westwards, settled in the Lakú Mountains and later became subjects of Keþía.
Today, west-þirks are renowned in Keþía for their skilled craftsmen -especially gold smiths- but their culture is all but extinct in favour of keþían traditions, clothing and mythology, safe for their custom of dyeing their hair blue using woad.
