Yentish

''Robust, sanguine-tempered, Tobb-fearing warrior-peasants from the poor, backward and isolated island of Yent. Descended from reform-fleeing ultra-traditionalist steppe nomads who quickly pillaged Yent’s original inhabitants to extinction, these relative newcomers to agriculture have embraced peasant life with rare vigour.''

''Although today’s Yentishman is more likely to be found wallowing in his homeland’s bountiful mud than decapitating a Farbish burgher from horseback, he’s retained many of his people’s warlike customs. The introduction of feudalism has only compounded the culture of constant civil war by adding new titles to fight for and new forms of perceived betrayal to avenge. Imported mainland gods and ideas coexist uneasily with traditional might-worship.''

''They have the classic peasant look; vaguely ruddy of skin, hair of straw or taupe. A quick-tempered people, but jovial, welcoming and kind to (most) strangers. For the most part, they despise and fear magic of all kinds. They speak Common.''
