Hallengardian Culture

Hallengardians are the primary culture and ethnic group of the Kingdom of Hallengard.

Appearance
Hallengardians generally have light hair and pale skin. They usually wear multiple layers of clothes on the outside, primarily made out of wool, leather and fur.

Common personality traits and stereotypes
Hallengardians are a humble, traditionalistic people who highly value honor. The have proved themselves to be a vicious foe on the battlefield numerous times and have a history of being brave warriors. While they can withstand the cold environment of the mountains easily, they may find the southern climate uncomfortably warm.

Hallengardians are often called warmongers and overly agressive by outsiders, because of their miltaristic history and rivalry with Aedwin. Others consider them dull and simple as a result of their tribal roots and late historical development. While these descriptions fit some, the newer generations are less violent and more reasonable.

Relations
Aedwinians: While Hallengardians allied with Aedwin during The Hallengardian Civil War and The Great Divide, the rivalry between the two kingdoms never ceased. While they are at peace, the distrust is still present.

Lauch: Hallengardians have the worst opinion of the Lauch out of all the known nations. This outcome can be traced back to the numerous wars between the two.

Winterlanders: The Hallengardian viewpoint of the northern islanders are very mixed. While most people are neutral towards them, many see them as their enemies who try to gain influence and cotrol over their kingdom, while others think of them as allies.
