Hibernian Species in Knight Realms: Arawyn | World Anvil

Hibernian

Hibernians are a culture of Humans who live in the lush, rolling hills of the northern highlands where they fiercely defend their farms and families from all threats. They are typically a light-hearted and honorable group of people, gregarious and out-going, but are very territorial and defensive for their own. Generally, they feel a strong bond between them and the earth, which provides much for them. They might appear a bit dirty and uncouth to a Kormyrian, but after a few rounds of ale, these jolly people will charm everyone in the tavern. Each Hibernian is a member of a clan to which they are devoted. This clan is made up of several families who farm the lands together to survive.   Hibernians are good-hearted and honorable, enjoying revelry and contest, but finding lying and underhandedness offensive and intolerable. The people are hard-working and honest to a fault, always willing to help out a clansman or a kind stranger in need. Proud of who they are, a Hibernian is sure to defend to the death any insult to her family, her honor, or her heritage. This can cause her to become a bit hot-headed at times, often too quickly jumping to a defensive stance over even the smallest perceived insult.   Typically, they inhabit the northern plains and highlands of Palmydia, though clans and villages might be found in any number of places. They feel a closeness to the earth and pass down stories of their ancient ancestors, legendary heroes, and the mythical Fey, to whom they are wholly devoted.   Each Hibernian Clan has a specific tartan, sigil, or color that they associate with, and they wear these with great pride. Specific fashion varies by clan, but they consistently favor warm wools and light linens in their clothing. Kilts are a common sight found on Hibernians who have earned them, as well as simple dresses, shirts, and tunics. Hibernains typically avoid stiff corsets or highly restrictive garments that impede their ability to work, instead looking for practicality and durability for day to day life in their clothing. When preparing for battle, it is common for Hibernians to decorate themselves in patterns of blue woad in honor of the fey.
