Caemansi (culture)

The Caemansi or 'Blood-Hounds', a name they gained from the carnage left behind in their frequent raids, have perhaps contributed the most to Sjalvolki culture Whilst the Daukeni write delicate and poignant poems, the Caemansi have never had an interest in such niceties their sagas depicting gratuitous violence and fast paced action, their bards preffering the crack of a spine to the flight of a butterfly. Much of these stories originate from the proud history of the Blood-Hounds catalogued on great runestones, inscribed with descrpitions and glyphs of great conquerors and adventurers. This style of war poetry has become popular throughout the many Sjalvolki clans, the deeds of great warrior told before coming to blows with the enemy.
