| - | How the people of this realm came to be in the empire (if applicable) and how the realm formed. A list of important historical events or more detailed written record of realm's history can also be included. Use subheaders as necessary. | + | These hardy inhabitants of the Apocryphaen Wastes trace their lineage to a civilization that stood long before the great Fleeing. Today the ancestors of the Hrynjandi are known as the Þingr, former master craftsmen who inhabited the Theran valley and its surrounding lands. Much of their knowledge has been lost throughout the ages, including the precise location of the Þingr capital. |

| + | The Hrynjandi as we know them today are descendants of a group of people who fled their homeland during the Fleeing to the relative safety of the Apocryphaen Wastes. This exodus was led by a near mythical figure known to Hrynjandi as the Stormsword. Under his guiding hand, the thousands of Þingr refugees endured bitter storms, marauding bands of deserters and according to Hrynjandi legend, the dark tendrils of Sodrungr's wrath. Upon reaching the sanctuary of the Old World, the great caravans of the Stormsword disintegrated into chaos. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It was then when the growing divisions between the refugees finally crystallized into the factions that would eventually become the two major Hrynjandi tribes. On one hand the merchants and mercenaries had grown irate at the Stormsword's increasingly tyrannical rule. On the other side were those who remained loyal to the Stormsword, mostly peasants and professional soldiers who still believed in the old hierarchy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Eventually, the merchants and sellswords broke away from the primary expedition and travelled east from the valley the Stormsword had chosen to be their new home. Those who remained confident in the Stormsword's abilities settled in the shadow of Mt. Anaudir and would eventually become what we know today as the Dyrendi tribe. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To the east of the of the frigid valley that was now home to their seperated brothers and sisters, the merchants settled upon a mountain not far from the coast of the Wastes. There, upon Mt. Skaftind, they founded the city of Skar and would later become known as the Skarendi. These people are considered to be the most cosmopolitan of the three major tribes. They've held on to their mercantile traditions and after the fall of Skyspeaker Vargon's unified Hrynjandi, are now the major power in the Apocryphaen Wastes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Last, and certainly least of the three great tribes, were the Alendi. These people were part of an entirely seperate expedition from the borders of the old Þingr Kingdom. They settled in the far northern reaches of the Wastes on the island of Þingey. Centred on an ancient Þingr artifact, the town is a major supplier of food to the rest of the Hrynjandi. | ||
