The Free Men of Midgard

A noble Knight of Dalriada.
Hardy and adaptable, the Men (also known as freemen) are the most abundant species on Midgard. Coming in all shapes and sizes, they can be found in all most every corner of the world and often share only one thing in common: their thirst for expansion and growth. Dalriada is the largest and first of all freeman kingdoms, with Bai-Ulgan acting as the seat of power. With the recent death of the King, and no heir in sight, Dalriada has become divided as noble houses assume control of individual fiefdoms, vying for power.

The Men of Dalriada typically have Norse-sounding names. Some examples are: Sigrún Hyrrokkin, Agviðr Wordsplane, Brandr Gilling.

Second in power to Dalriada is the kingdom of Ankaa, which lies across the Hadar Wastelands to the Southeast. The Ankaarim have little interest in affairs outside their borders and so have had virtually no dealings with Dalriada. Goods from both kingdoms travel across the Hadar with nomadic Shamassi caravans; it is highly dangerous to attempt to cross the desert without their guidance.

Ankaaric magical prowess is legendary, and their secrets are guarded closely by the various Arcane Colleges. Most Ankaaric mages are Fire/Metal.

The Men of Ankaa have three names: their given name, a name that identifies the individual's father, and the house or family name. For example, Hassim, son of Khufar, of the house of Suhail, would be Hassim Ben-Khufar Al-Suhail. Zyani, daughter of Rassad, of the Anar family would be Zyani Sha-Rassad Anar. Those without house or family standing have only their given name and father's name; those who do not know their father's name have only their given name.
