The Gael
The Gael are said to be the direct descendants of the original humans that arrived in the area that became Gaelndor and displaced the native Sidhe elf settlers that were the original inhabitants, besides the Karamin. They share a strong aesthetic cultural connection with the Karamin. Although there is still a large portion of the Gael that worship the old gods, due to the stationary nature of their lives the Gael have adopted the worship of Caerwyn much quicker than the Karamin. The majority of Gaels are followers of Caerwyn, at least at a casual level. Gael's speak a standard version of common.
Being a predominantly human culture, the Gael are very versatile and you can find Gael adventurers filling almost every role.
