Editing Moonshae Isles (section)

==The Northlands==
The Northlanders descend from a combination of viking-esque raiders from the Sword Coast regions north of Waterdeep, Tuern and Gunderland and the Ffolk who had the misfortune to be inhabiting the northern Moonshaes when the northmen came down and decided they were going to live here.

Whilst their culture is relatively stable, it is far more warlike and naval-orientated than that of the southern Ffolk nations; the tradition of sailing off to raid the length of the Sword Coast as well as the Fffolk in their great longships is alive and well.

Like their Ffolk neighbors, the northlanders cherish [[bard]]s but loathe [[wizard]]s.

Major islands of the northlands are:
* '''Norland''', home of the kingdom of Rottesheim and one of the mightiest, most populous northlander realms.
* '''Norheim''', a fractured realm of small, petty northlander kingdoms that constantly squabble amongst themselves.
* '''Oman''', the largest and most fertile island in the northlands, adn thus home to the most powerful of all the northlander kingdoms.
* '''Gnarhelm''', the northern half of the island of Alaron, a steep and rocky realm that is the mineral breadbasket of the northlands.
* '''The Korinn Archipelago''', a chain of tiny, wild, lawless islands that extends north into the Trackless Sea.
