Fjellheim

= Fjellheim =

Overview
Fjellheim is a kingdom nestled in the North Eastern part of Sparwood, occupying vast swathes of tundra and hills. Fjellheim is surrounded by Grand Castell LIozhar, Greater Plagos, Vraela, and Frosmyere (Elanor.) Currently, the Kingdom of Fjellheim is apart of the Greater Kartek-Fjellheim Empire.

Fjellheim takes influence from many neighboring nations in Sparwood, but keeps a unique identity and ways of architecture due to its unique geographic location. With hints of prior Portuguese influence, Fjelli architecture is dominated by many distinct types of medieval-like architecture, notably with heavy Scandinavian and European elements.

People
The people of Fjellheim are the Fjelli. Unlike the Gertek horde, the Fjelli chose to reject nomadic life in favor of living in harmony with the hills and mountains of North-Eastern Sparwood. Politically the center of many nations, the people have absorbed influence from many surrounding nations and people, though still keeping an independent culture and language. The Fjelli are almost entirely light skinned due to the cold Sparwood winds.

Dress
Fjell dress in clothes fitting for the climate and season. In the harsh winters they wear thick, tight, leg wear and jacket. These clothes will be tied with cloth to ensure they are protective from the wind. With colors and decoration going into the ties, wraps, and even an extra, cosmetic, layer of thin cloth over the under furs or linins. These are for fashion in the winters, and used as a second layer to a thin outfit in the mild summers.

House system
The Fjell familial households–which have lost their influence and number over the years–have a traditional system, now less attached to a specific house but more to a family as a whole. The family head is usually the eldest unless they cannot be a proper figure for the family. Births from any mother within a house will consider the child of the family and a child of a man within the house will only be automatically part of the house if the father wasn't married. A house head may adopt someone (any age) into the house, an adopted person is eligible for inheritance and being an heir.

Family names (surnames) can be created as either the first name of the founder of a new house or from a new name they dawn. Any word link (') will be removed as the name is compounded into one word.
