Irmionoth (culture)
One of the many Sjalvolki tribes, the Irmionoth have earned a fearsome reputation as brutal warriors. They place great importance on the concept of revenge, tracing this ideal back to their tribe's founding myth. In ancient days, when Velos' gift was new, he made their ancestors swear an oath that whenever harm was done, they would reverse it upon its perpetrators. The leader of those who accepted this oath was named Irmi, and so would his tribe be called the People of Irmi, or Irmionoth.
Seeking to uphold this contract, they began training, becoming ever more skilled at the arts of war. When the tribe was wronged, they would descend upon their enemy with a fury unmatched, and avenge every perceived slight. Internally, they held to a simple code, that everything must be proportional. If one were to be caught thieving, they would be required to return something of equal value in addition to the stolen goods. A feud would require the rivals to battle to the death, and so they were only invoked at harsh transgressions. With their entry into Aversaria, they have come to finally make the Empire pay its due.
