Hillmen

The Hillfolk historically hail from the hills and mountains throughout the realms, though today most reside in the Tarn Mountains near the cursed Orkin Woods. They are clannish in nature and generally stick to their own societies, and are particularly known for their ferocity in battle, and for their lack of fear even in the face of insurmountable odds.

While they may be intelligent, few know or care about the intricacies of politics or city life. They would have little to no formal education and would likely be unable to read or write.

Most Hillfolk have swarthy or olive complexions, are dark-haired, dark-eyed, and tend toward the shorter, stockier side. Both men and women wear their hair long and keep it neat in braids; men tend to grow long beards and braid them, too.

Lithmorrans generally regard them as hairy forest brutes in desperate need of civilization, who wear bear pelts, smoke floleaf every day, decorate their homes with skulls, and killed and ate each other before the Church (thankfully) stepped in.

One perhaps less-offensive typical perception is of Hillish stubbornness: a Lithmorran might think of a Hillman as someone they could ride out into the middle of the woods, drop off, and six months later there would be a cabin and vegetable patch in the exact same spot.

Note: Among the Hillmen, clan chiefs and their families are nobility, though in the eyes of Lithmorrans, such men and women are merely freemen. In Lithmore, Hillmen may never rise above the status of freemen, even if they share the blood of another race.
