Hethians

The monster-ridden hills and swamps of Hethia are host to a patchwork of dozens of tiny feudal kingdoms inhabited by the Hethians, barbarians from the east who in recent centuries have reclaimed this long-abandoned former imperial province.

Hethian peasants are known for their piousness and austerity, but Hethia’s largest city - Sproongstel, city of a thousand rivers, labyrinthine, decadent, and squalid – is an infamous pit of sin.

''Hethians have strong senses of honour, etiquette, and hospitality. Hethian warriors are easily recognised by their fair hair, thick moustaches, tall halberds, and puffy, colourful outfits. They have a particular affinity for polearms, a natural consequence of their land being riddled with creatures it would be suicidal to get within reach of. They speak Common.''
