The Frelheid are a race of pale-skinned and light-haired humans who originated from the northern regions of the world. After the Frelheid war, they migrated south and reintroduced themselves to the northern Jags. The Frelheid are fiercely independent and reject any form of rule or authority, refusing to honor any lord or king. They are known for their bravery, resourcefulness, and adaptability, as well as their skill in survival in harsh, cold climates. They are also skilled fighters, using their knowledge of the land and their prowess with weapons to defend themselves and their way of life. However, their opposition to authority can sometimes lead to conflicts with other races or societies who do not share their values.
The Frelheid attire reflects the ruggedness of their mountainous homeland and the practicality required for their mountain lifestyle. They favor robust and durable fabrics, such as heavy wool and leather, providing protection against the elements and the hazards of battle. These materials are often adorned with intricate embroidery, depicting symbolic motifs that hold deep meaning within Frelheid culture.
Men and women both sport attire that reflects their warrior spirit. Men don loose-fitting trousers tucked into sturdy boots, allowing for swift movement and agility in the treacherous terrain. Their tunics, made from thick and weathered fabrics, are layered with leather vests and adorned with ornate silver buttons and fastenings. A traditional fur-lined cloak drapes over their shoulders, providing warmth during harsh mountain winters.
Women of the Frelheid exhibit both strength and grace in their attire. They wear ankle-length dresses, crafted from richly patterned fabrics that showcase their cultural heritage. The dresses are often cinched at the waist with intricately tooled leather belts, emphasizing their feminine form while allowing freedom of movement. Like their male counterparts, they also don durable boots suitable for traversing rocky paths.
To shield themselves from the elements and maintain an air of mystery, both men and women don wide-brimmed hats made from sturdy felt or leather. These hats feature symbolic charms or small trinkets that reflect personal beliefs and family history.
The Frelheid people's appearance is as distinct as their clothing. Both men and women tend to have robust physiques, honed by a life of physical endurance and combat training. They have weathered yet pale complexions due to the overcast skies of Orkney and the windswept mountains. Their hair, often pale brown, muted and thin, is worn long, flowing freely or sometimes braided intricately with beads or woven ribbons.
Tattoos and body markings are also prevalent among the Frelheid, serving as badges of honor and symbols of their resilience. Intricate patterns, inspired by ancestral symbolism, adorn their arms, shoulders, and faces, showcasing their connection to their mountainous homeland and their northern lineage.
