Shcots

The Shcots are a race of muscular, proud folk living in the land of Terma.

Territory
The Shcots control a large swath of land near the eastern interior and shore of Terma. Their land has large forests, grasslands, a mountain or two, and several large rivers. To the north, the Shcots are confronted by the Garlants, and to the south they find the Fairlans. To the west are empty lands for a while, and then the Landons.

The Shcot villages are spread thin among their land, each with varying degrees of advancement and population.

Government
The Shcots are divided into Clans/Tribes, each with their own Chief(s). The Chiefs control judiciary matters, trade, warfare and other day-to-day decisions on the direction of the tribes.

Origins
The origins of the Shcots are unknown.

History
The Shcots have long been recognised for their runes, but it is unknown when they began to write in that way.

Everyday Life

Traditionally, Shcots live in log houses.

Expertise

While they are not as advanced as the other factions, the Shcots are still recognized as an honourable and formidable group.
