Southolm

Southolm
Southolm is a small region on the Eordic peninsula. It is a human dominated region bordered by the Dwarven kingdom of Eordun to the West, the Kingdom of Eorlon to the North East, Buzzard Bay (called Kanyuk Bay by Eorlish people) to the East, and the Southern Sea to the South. Southolm is a fiefdom of Eorlon. The largest city in Sotholm is the small but prosperous village that bears the same name as the region. Southolm is protected by the Eorlish navy, and is a key source of seafood for the kingdom.



Culture
The people of Southolm have a mixed culture, but most of its influences come from Eorlon and the native tribes whom Southic people descend from. The region was conquered by Eorlon and its people colonized in ancient times, though they were allowed to maintain much of their cultural practices which still thrive today.

Religion
Southic people practice a combination of animistic religion from the old tribes, and an ancient version of the worship of the Twelve Aspects. Their version of the Twelve is very close to the ways of the Wave Knights of old, and so take very kindly to sailors, fishermen, and paladins who hold similar beliefs.

Southic Garlands
One of the highest signs of respect in Southic culture is to bestow a Southic Garland. Southic people do not like to waste and try to repurpose as much as they can, so the garlands are made chiefly of old ropes and fishing nets which could no longer serve their intended purposes, laced with local flora, sea grass, sea shells, and the like.
