Kellids (KEHL-ids)

The original natives of most of Avistan before the spread of the Taldan Empire, represent what every resident of the continent thinks of when they refer to "barbarians". Sandwiched between an empire of orcs, marauding demons of the Worldwound, and the witch-haunted kingdom of Irrisen, Kellids are a pragmatic product of their harsh environment and direct descendants of a more savage age. Kellids in northern Avistan cling tightly to their traditional ways, while those in southern countries like Druma and Isger have largely integrated into the local Taldan or Chelaxian culture.
