Kothringi

"You might mistake them for a lesser, simple enough error...but it'll be the last one you ever make."--Jayce Vern; Bartender

Nomads and migrants who travel in the extensive Devlasands, the Kothringi are currently split into two separate sub-clans-- almost socio-political parties. The commanding sub-clan are the Mer, a cosmopolitan group who have become accepting of other cultures. Their counterpart is the Nede, a small yet growing classification that has become ravenous with the idea of expansion and superiority. While they are conflicting the Kothringi remain as one whom are united by a man named Argon Van'gral. They're somewhat notorious for employment as sell-swords, but with this knowledge they're not particularly praised for 'good deeds' nor a history of benevolence.

History
The foremost documentation of the Kothringi people lacks a date, but it is as primitive as Cosanastre itself. It is said that at one point the Kothringi warred with the Cosanastre settlers, yet a congregation resulted in a treaty and the Kothringi have honored it ever since. They firmly believe that the Devlasands were at one point an expansive ocean and their forefathers sailed here from an outlying world. There is an unmistakable dissection between the plebeians and patrician groups. For one, the subordinate classification are not educated and are employed. Kothringi pride themselves on being a warmongering clan and thus militaristic study is critical and even the women have a general grasp of weaponry and combat. During the Van'gral lineage a man named Argath dedicated his life to the study of sorcery and eventually nearly annihilated the Kothringi and as a result magick is frowned upon outside of shamanistic duties. Noble families are rigorously instructed and enlightened even when it comes to military stratagem. Kothringi are highly disciplined and resourceful people, having centuries of experience of warfare in their homeland and their expertness at navigating through the Devlasand is unmatched.

Appearance
Having dwelled in the Devlasands for the majority of their existence they've become victimized by the overseeing sun. Physically vigorous people, muscular, broad-shouldered, thin-waisted, full-lipped, and flat-footed from going unshod. White skin at birth, but rapidly darkened by the authoritative overhang of the sun. Hair is predominately dark, sometimes curly, but never wooly and eyes are frequently dark, but heterochromia(two different colored eyes) is quite common.
