Editing Iron Kingdoms (section)

====Nyss====

The Nyss are the winter-y, snow-y kind of elves, descended from worshippers of Nyssor, god of winter, who followed a prophet named Aeric into the frozen northlands under the assumption that said god could maybe possibly be found there. Because, y'know, he's the god of winter and it was really cold up there. They have a few physical differences from elves (taller, skinnier, darker skin, white hair), but the differences between Nyss and Iosans are mainly cultural. Traditional Nyss culture is very tribal and nomadic, with next to no farming, technology or literacy.

That said, there isn't much left of traditional Nyss culture, because the vast majority of the race has been eaten and/or mindwiped by Everblight. The survivors of the race consist of a bunch of refugees who have taken up shelter in any kingdom that will have them. By the time of ''Requiem'', though, they've at least gotten their god back following Goreshade's attempt to murder him.
