Locus Barbaricum

Locus Barbaricum, Soli for the 'Barbarian Lands' is the region stretching north beyond the great mountains that separate the Inner Sea Region from the rest of the world.

Because of distance, historically relationships with the Barbarians of the lands north have been few, but with the rise of the Solis Empire and their expansion north, trade has for the first time opened up in a somewhat significant level.

Tyskland
The Tysks occupy the central lands of the Locus Barbaricum, composed of many great forests, plains, and mountains. The Tysks are tribal people who frequently war between themselves. Tysk chieftains typically hold their domain by strength and charisma alone, with their death almost always bringing a rupture in their holdings.

The Tysk have had the most contact with inhabitants of the inner sea, and for many years have fought against Soli expansion into what they consider their rightful domain.

Galatai
The Galatai are found to the west of the Locus Barbaricum, clustered primarily around the shores of the great sea. The Galatai are proficient seafarers, although they are primarily agriculturalist in nature.

Nordus/Scania
The Nors (also known as Scanians) are found to the north of the Locus Barbaricum. As the land of Scania are cold and growing seasons are short, much of the population is organized in small clans which farm during the short summers and primarily hunt and fish during the winter months.

Nors Clans are typically democratic in nature, and when many clans unite into a federation they elect kings, typically for life.

Albius
Albians are a people found on a great set of islands north-west of the Locus Barbaricum. Despite their island condition, the Albians are not seafarers and primarily rely on pastoral lifestyles in the many hills of their country, while the southern Albians enjoy flatter and more arable lands.

Ineria
The Inerians are found to the south-west of the Locus Barbaricum, on a great mountainous and arid peninsula jutting out into the great sea. The Inerians are divided between the nomadic herders of the plateaus and the coastal people settled into heavily fortified cities.

Inerian Peninsula is notably rich in metals such as gold, silver, tin, and copper, which has caused the Solis Empire to push into the peninsula in recent decades.

Sarmath
The Sarmath are found to the north-east of the Locus Barbaricum.

Arminai
The Arminai occupy the mountains and plateaus of the south-east of the Locus Barbaricum, bordering on the [x] that leads further into Assuwa.
