River People Ethnicity in The Lost Lands | World Anvil

River People

These people are the natives of the land between the Lenggor River and the Ular River and their various tributaries in southwestern Libynos, including the area near the Sinnar Coast known as The Delta. Other than those who choose to live in The Delta and trade with outsiders, they tend to be reclusive and stay deep in the forests and jungles of the interior.   As a general rule, the River People look much like their Kaldilooran neighbors to the south, but have more variation in height, hair color, eye color, and skin tones. Some of this is attributed to the possible presence of fey blood among the River People. In addition, the beliefs, traditions, and religion of the River People are entirely different from any of those who live elsewhere in southern Libynos.   In the interior, the River People speak their own strange language, which appears to be unrelated to any other known tongue. In The Delta, they use a trade tongue (called Delta Speech) that consists of a debased version of their own language combined with Hyperborean and various terms borrowed from Bhanakhirin and Gonidal (the language of the Kaldiloorans).
