Gyepotlak (Gyeh-pote-lack)

One could draw a parallel between this group and the Bel Gwerin, but the two groups are unlikely to meet by any normal means. Their language borrows Turkic pronunciation and Khamankrygran vocabulary (Hungarian, Khanty, and Mansi inspired). They are mountain folk. A lot of them are miners. A lot of them are exploited by native Stephonians for the goods they provide. Hungarians think they're a wee bit odd for constantly traveling instead of staying put in an immovable building. They aren't really in favor of the Mad Queen's government, so Princess Snow of Stephonia thinks she's got a perfect set of allies here. She's a bit confused but if she doesn't have the spirit, she'll learn the spirit.
