Dendor

The Northern Lands

The pact of union binds them together, and despite their differences and many internal wars and conflicts, they have stayed together, unified despite the rest of the world. Their frozen lands may be low in farmland, or in huntable game, but the tough and gruff Northmen have made a living here since the beginning of time, and they don't see any reason for this to change now.

Government

The twelve tribes and their elders rule this realm, in times of trouble, they elect a king from among their chieftains, who will lead the Dendorian tribes until the need for a king has come to an end. A king might be chosen because they are at war, or because of any other major issue that concerns Dendor as a whole. It is also because of this that Dendor has no official capital, However, it does have a defacto capital, because there is one city that they can always rely on to defend them in warm which is Scyandil.

Settlements

They have few major cities since their lands do not really encourage large-scale settlements. Even the largest of their settlements would be considered large villages anywhere else in the world, even tho they might contain banks taverns, bars, markets, a town hall, and many other things one would expect in a city. They simply don't hold more than a few thousand people. There are even universities in some of these large villages. There are some larger settlements tho, they owe this to trade, and especially to one of the true dendorian pastimes, lake fishing.

Tribes

The twelve tribes are all like large extended families, they life in smaller clans, that live in villages, or a more nomadic lifestyle. They all observe the authority of their tribal chief. This incredibly decentralized governing system has left each individual with great amounts of independence, and withing dendor, it isn't uncommon for people to move freely, and it isn't uncommon for individuals to marry into other tribes or clans.

Cultures

Dendorian culture can be divided into four subgroups.
Middle Dendorian, are the main of these groups, they represent the majority of the dendorian population, and they live in the richest lands, with rivers full of fish, and plenty of huntable game.
Eastern Dendorians are those who live east of the northern Yavin River, namely the Skaer tribe. Their lands are not as connected to the rest by rivers, and therefore they are more focused on the sea of a thousand isles, and its saltwater fish, and many shellfish.
The Northmen are those who live on the frost plains, they are the ones who herd musk oxen, they live in caves and houses made from ice, they live in some of the coldest and most inhospitable parts of the world, and there they strive. They only represent a small part of the Denorian population, but they have produced some of the most legendary warriors in history.
The mountaineers are the only of the dendorians who live in and around the mountains. The only tribe of this subculture are the Fell. There they have goblins to tend with, who are said to outnumber the dendorian population there ten to one. The Fell have developed a culture of harsh discipline, and a strong sense of honor and bravery. They are also known to eat pretty much anything they can get their hands on, due to the lack of food in their territory, even their own dead.
There also used to be a Western Dendorian culture, but their homeland was conquered a long time ago by the nation of Cordyan, they are now thought to have gone extinct, being fully integrated into the dwarven population that now lives there.
