Castles of OrbaalThe mountainous kingdom of Orbaal (formerly known as Jara) is home to the Jarin peoples of Hârn. Within the last half-century, Ivinian raiders/conquerors invaded and established themselves as the rulers of the land. Orbaal is also home to several barbarian peoples.

Cultural Traits for Jarin & Ivinians

The Ivinians and Jarin who dwell in the Kingdom of Orbaal in northern Hârn are culturally distinct from southern Hârnians, as well as from each other.

Below are some suggestions for assigning Cultural Traits for Jarin & Ivinians.

Jarin Cultural Traits

Jarin characters also get Adherent as a cultural trait. Most characters should probably take this trait as Adherent of Ilvir. However, if it fits in with the character concept, Adherent of Siem or Adherent of Peoni are also possible.

Ivinians (i.e. Hârn's "vikings") may take 2-3 (again, GM/group discretion) of the following cultural traits:

Like the Jarin, Ivinian characters also get Adherent as a cultural trait. Most Ivinians should take this trait as Adherent of Sarajin. However, if it fits in with the cIharacter concept, at GM/group discretion, an Ivinian may take Adherent of Agrik instead.
