Snal

The Snal (Cold People) are a cultural group of the Native Melarese race. They were originally found in the deep mountains of what is now the kingdoms of Holdheim, Karkmund and Tolund. Many Holdheimers claim they are direct descendants of the Snal who were tough and rowdy. They spent all winter in the deep caves of the northern mountains, and in the summer they would inhabit the vast steppe which now makes up the tundra plains of Holdheim. Due to their geographical isolation, the Snal were unhindered by the arrival of the Elanois during the First Elanois Landing. Only when King Arnall II arrived with his host did the Snal finally come in contact with the invaders of the south.
