Vikings

Vikings or People of the Bay are a ethnic group of humans that live beyond the northern mountains of the world. They also recently joined the Kingdom led by the The King. Because they needed help against the forces of Demon Lord also known as the forces of chaos or non prayer races.

Overview
The lands were the Vikings dwell are said to beyond the mountains where the Harefolk dwell. They tell tales of how the lands there are terrifying and serve as a cautionary warning to stay away as roughnecks thrive there who rob people.

Some of the Vikings ways, while seen normal to them, can be quite barbarous to outsiders. They are raiders and traders by nature and make war amongst other tribes to take resources. Such actions are not done through malice, but are seen as inspiration of greater confidence. But they usually prefer to trade to get what they want rather than do war.

Even women are taken during these raids, and those were were abducted were recognized as married to their kidnapper. The tradition is universal to all the tribes, and those taken do not show anger nor fear but excitement and joy as the abduction is seen as proof of their husband's intelligence, goodwill, and martial valor to steal themselves a bride. But if it's done to a non-Viking member of society and since they're part of the kingdom this kidnapping will be view as a crime and will be punished.

Vikings do not have much interaction with other races, though are aware of the existence of elves and dwarves. The latter though the Vikings have more interactions with since dwarves provide them weapons and metalworking.
