Acolyte of a New God
Location: The Light Purple in the North ( Rótland ), The Maroon next to the Maroon ( áðrviðrland )
History: At the beginning of the world man emerged on the lands to the east, but in the lands to west a people was birthed from the blood of Ymir in Lágrægir. Their kind had absorbed many features of the god and were deemed the þurs, They first emerged in Rótland, but they began to spread as they did so they were very heavily ostracized by the other races, and even hunted. They for the most part stayed near their home opting to seek their kin, They even made a pact in order to preserve their culture. The sub-races could not decide who would rule them, so it is said that all the chieftains and warlords prayed to the gods for 3 months constantly. This session concluded with Lágrægir boiling and twisting. Out of this great turmoil came a man and a woman who showed the traits of all the sub-races of the þurs, they were made the King and Queen of their united clans. For most of their existance they have raided the farms to thier west, but recently they have expirienced a population boost (due to them becoming more sanitary and invancements in technology for farming) due to this they must begin expanding in order to maintain their society.
Leader: Warerre Stojørn Yggblod and Astrid Hilde Yggblod
Culture: They are a very specialized race the þurs, they consist of 6 sub races: The Giants, who stand at anywhere between 3-4.5 meters (10-15 feet), they are the strongest of the races, and commonly find themselves as manual laborers and foot soldiers. The Ogres, who stand between 2-3 meters (7-10 feet) and are able to endure lots of stress, they like the giants are commonly found as manual laborers and foot soldiers. The Orcs Who stand  1.6-2 meters (5'6"-7 feet) and are the smartest, most abundant, and most balanced race, they are commonly found in government, farming, and all through the military. Ghouls, standing 1.5-1.8 meters (5-6 feet) they are dull but share many similarities with humans and are the stealthiest of the sub races, they are commonly farmers and spies. Hobgoblins, standing 1.2-1.5 meters (4-5 feet) they are very agile and very quick making them good laborers and great ship crewman as well as scouts. The final smallest sub-race are the Goblins, which are .5-1 meter (1.5-3 feet) tall, they make great mechanics and craftsmen due to their size as well as thieves. The culture of the þurs is heavily based off of doing your job to it's best ability and refining your skills and craft above anything else, to prove this they often conflict in one way or another. Though many of the upper class very much despise the top families of other races.
