Lowshkin

The Lowshkin are a race of large, nordic people. They are gathered in small settlements in the habitable places on Issrum. Their capital is Lowshka.

Appearance
Very tall, humanoid people, the Lowshkin are suited for hunting professions. They are mostly blond or ginger, and the men often grow large beards.

Personality
Fierce and compassionate in equal measure, the Lowshkin will protect and defend their home and who they care for with startling decisiveness. Despite this, they are largely peaceful, and will only go to war if their homeland is threatened, not seeking to expand.

Proficiencies

 * Trading; very charismatic, the Lowshkin will trade with anyone willing.
 * Cooking; the wide variety of foods procured through trading allows the Lowshkan people to be the best chefs on the planet.
 * Enchantments; their armour is largely hide, with limited metal. In exchange, the Lowshkin make use of magic to enchant special properties into their armour.
 * Sailing; their frequent trades and their location on their own continent means that almost all Lowshkin learn to sail at an early age.

Culture
The Shal are led by their Jarl, a man chosen for their fighting and political prowess. Jarls are castrated upon election, so that their sex drive doesn't interfere with their ability to lead the Lowshkin.

The Lowshkin believe only in their own prowess, and so the vast majority are athiest.
