Curgerski (culture)
The Curgerski were few in number even before the Frodbrokna, and fewer still now. They were northmost of the northern tribes to make it out of the Foglands, having been pushed out into the marginal and cold territories spurned by larger and more powerful clans in ages past. Before the Imperrech led them out into the wider world they never had cause to adopt permanent settlements nor to become farmers, instead eking out an existence as nomadic hunters and reindeer herders in a harsh land. Their tools and weapons were often made of simple bone and stone since their lands were barren of any accessible metal deposits, and most Curgerski tribes were too poor for many traders to bother with. Because of this they were derided as savage and primitive by their fellow Sjalvolki.
Now settled in former Aversarian territory they have slowly adopted some of the trappings of the more 'civilized' clans, but the old ways do not die easy. Curgerski clans are notoriously insular and distrustful of outsiders - a category which includes most other Sjalvolki.
