The north lands, know collectively as Drune is a heavily forested, sometimes mountainous temperate land whose most northern stretches deciduous forests becomes evergreen giant pine and much of the year snow covers the ground. The people are fair skinned, with dark hair and brown or blue eyes. Spirit worship is the key religion and Druids form the main clerical cast. Druids are also law givers and protectors of the balance, an essential part of Drune life. Drune warriors are brave and deadly Slayers who fight as individuals rather than the well drilled soldier Knights of the south, while Drune Hunters are some of the deadliest archers in Skyelund. Finally Drune Mages are rare but not unheard of, although they are notorious for their reclusive and dour nature.
Some of the tribes have split from Druidism and have fallen into Shadow and rumours of night assassins and warlocks are rife, if rather unsubstantiated.
Myths of the Drune speak often of spirits and fae who inhabit notable places in the far places of forest. While the Fir Bolg, giants of legend who were pushed out by the coming of man live amongst the hills and mountains.
