The Mhainite People
Physical Description:
These dark humans tend to have short brown hair and either blue or brown eyes. They are a race keen on fitness and almost all Mhainites serve some time in the Guard or Army. This means they build up their ability to endure hostile situations.
Clothing and Dress:[b]
When at war or in combat situations Mhainite humans, tend to wear clothes cut from black and dark coloured cloth. They usually wear black leather armour with either padded jacks or chain mail. They are fond of leathers and the colours Red, Blue and Purple often trim their clothes. Both males and females will wear trousers and tunics, however Mhainite women also like dresses and sandals in the summer and robes and knee high boots in the winter. Whilst ladies robes will often go all the way to the floor it is common for men to wear their robes to knee length.
[b]Locations in Albion
Found mostly in Essex although in recent months they have spread out into the Duchies of Cambridge, Heartsford, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lundinium and the Kingdoms of Kant and Sussex.
Mhainites older than three years of age but younger than thirty three would have to have been born in Mhaine, in the Empire. This would mean you would have arrived with Goraxe when he landed in Albion 3 years ago. All other Mhainites between 1 and 3 and over 33 have the choice of either the choice of been born in Albion or Mhaine.
Personality and Character:
Mhainites are often seen by others as been snobbish, arrogant and far too civilized. They like order and organisation. They like to keep records and plan an endeavour as much as possible before beginning. They will then evaluate its success at the end of the project. Mhainites like discipline and the rule of Law. They are very hierarchical and always expect those under them to do as they are told. Mhainites also like art and music as well as hunting and getting involved in a good fight.
The Mhainites see the other human races as follows:
The Kaldron have much to teach and so the Mhainites are willing to learn, almost all Mhainites respect the words of a Kaldron and those who can afford to keep one will employ a Kaldron as an adviser. The only problem the Mhainites have with the Kaldron is their preoccupation with nature and out doors. It is also felt these people dwell to much in the past, a past which Mhainites feel will never return.
The Brohn are seen as the best of the two barbarian races with which they have to deal. Almost civilized the Mhainites view them as a work in progress. The Brohn are respected as mighty warriors and trusted as close allies who share the Mhainite view in one king to rule one kingdom. It is a firm belief among Mhainites that in one way or another Brohn make good servants and allies. In recognition of this many Mhainite Lords will promote Brohn into their households as Guard Captains, Catalans and Masters of the house Hold. It has even become a trend among Mhainites to expand their holdings buy marrying their children into the Brohn noble and merchant families.
The Vaagen are view with much suspicion by the Mhainites. Unlike the Kaldron and Brohn who were allies from the start the Vaagen did not accept the Mhainites and so there was war. Instead of signing a treaty many Mhainites wanted to destroy them. However for all their faults these people do make good warriors and so the Mhainites are prepared to let them do most of the fighting whilst they run the kingdom. In recent times alliances have been made with refuge kingdoms of Vaagen this has served to improve Vaagen-Mhainite relations but only just.
The Kuul these are hated by all. Mhainites see these foul abominations as an evil mistake which must be put right
