List of people

This is a list of the people living in Arinion.

The Mells
The original inhabitants of Cillion driven and hunted into the woods of Blackbirch by the belgaronian conquerers centuries before the Dark Era. Some of the Mells gave in to the wrath of the southerners and became their underlings. Those Mells came to be the modern northerners or the Northborne.

The Mells that got away has stayed hidden within Blackbirch ever since. With every year passing the population decreased to a minority, more known as savage barbarians raiding the lands closest to the forest than the native people of Cillion.

The appearance of a Mells is such as the true Northborne, thick hair, bearded men and curvy women. Lighter colors of their hair combined with blue or grey eyes.

The language of the Mells has been preserved well and is still the only spoken language among them. A harsh and brutal sounding language without any writing or reading. Every man has their mark they carve in trees or sew on their shirts.

The Northborne
The Northbornes descend from the Mells, the original people of Cillion, centuries before the Dark Era. The common tongue-speaking Northborne is from the beginning the Mells that turned over to the conquering belgaronians, learning their language, converting to their religion, taking in their customs and way of living.

A true Northborne with the most distinct characteristics usually has much thick hair, the men has a fast beardgrowth and the women are often curvy. Blue and grey eyes are most common for true Northbornes and the color of their hair is mostly of a lighter kind.
