Jarnfell

Jarnfell is a purposeful blend of both the Iron Islands and Winterfell from Game of Thrones, wrapped in the traditions of both the Anglo-Saxons of Northumbria and the Brenton people of Britony. The Brenton of Elder Scrolls are similar, though their inclusion was not intentional.

Jarnfall is situated in the far north-eastern corner of Essealas among the rocks, crags, and low fjords. Jarnfall is built primarily of wood and stone.

Personality

The Bretons are in a word ... uncompromising. This nature of theirs comes about both in a highly developed sense of personal and cultural honor, as well as a fierce rugged individuality. Where it not for the diplomatic skills of the Alfarians, and the more genial nature of both the Frem and Rus, the Bretons would have few allies on Essealas. Luckily they are fierce warriors on both land and sea. And if they are occasionally barred from diplomatic missions, no one, not even the Bretons themselves would blame them.

They organize themselves in a number of ways, often juggling multiple commitments and duties as they participate in summer raiding crews, winter mercenary work, social works, building projects, militia brigades, and so forth. They are not particularly skilled in spycraft for they are a people who keep their word in all things, be it to have your back or ruin your day -- permanently.

On the whole, Bretons have one primary focus when it comes to the political map -- to have the freedom to do as they wish. They will join an alliance only to break up up a larger one. They are uneasy allies with both the Frem and Alfarians as they share some cultural traits with both city-states. They have a grudging respect for the Halstiens and can't stand the Dyrlings who they consider busybodies.

The Brenton's beleive that once, a great hero known as Dana lept from the bow of his ship and dove deep into the sea. He swam for three days before he arrived at a high peak overlooking the sea and crawled from the frigid waters until he reached a great oak tree atop the highest point. At which point, he commanded his very confused crew to tie him by means of sturdy rope to the great tree. He took no food, and no drink, until on the three day the ropes broke and he fell to the earth. It is said that when he arose he claimed to have all the knowledge of earth, sea, and sky. His crew, now convinced that he was as mad as they come left him there with his wild ravings. Twenty years later, Dana walked out of the moors and brought with him the Ogham script.
