The '''Froyalanish''', also known as '''Froyalaners''' are one of the [[Twelve Peoples of Elwynn]]. They are a mix of native Vattnalanders and [[Jorvik|Jorvikkers]] as well as people of [[Stormark|Storish]] descent. The areas where the Froyalanish constitute the majorty of the population are collectively referred to as [[Froyalan]]. They are among the three largest population groups of the [[Flower of the North]].
 
 
 
==Areas of Inhabitation==
 
Froyalaners generally live on the northern coast - as well as the islands along that shore - of the [[Princely Precinct]] called the [[Amokolia|Kingdom of Amokolia]] as well as in and around the areas of the [[Seven Ports|Sjöhöfn]], a Princely Precinct which is composed of a group of seven port cities, to wit: [[Avaldsnes]], Esthersbýur, Fjǫrleifsbýur, Haraldsby, Hyfrost, Joelsby, and Noahsbýur. The Sjöhöfn are also known as the Septue Ports, the Federation of the Seven Ports, or the Federation of the Seven Harbours. The Froyalanish also form the vast majority of the population of the [[Arietta|Principality of Arietta]], the [[Jorvik|Jarlorð of Jorvik]] and the [[Lady Esther Isles|Duchy of the Lady Esther Isles]].
 
 
 
There are also notable Froyalanish communities in the [[Pale of Angularis]] and the [[Princely Precinct|Princely Precincts]] which are known as the [[Araxion|County of Araxion]] and the [[Eliria (Princely Precinct)|City and County of Eliria]].
 
 
 
==Human(oid) Races==
 
The Froyalanish are chiefly composed of a human race called [[Vanamaðr]] and sentient humanoid beings like elves, dwarves, merfolk, faeries, halflings, etc. Froyalanish Elves are refered to as [[Álfarnir]].
 
 
 
==History==
 
Aside from the native Vattnalanders who have been living in the Vatnaland area of [[Amokolia]] since time immemorial and a pre-existing community of Storish merchants in [[Wintergleam]] - some of them descendants of [[Valtia|Valtian]] traders and others being associates or staff of the [[Sameinaða Erlendur Kaupsýsla Einokun Félagið]] - Froyalaners came to Elwynn in four waves:
 
 
 
*The first wave happened when [[Harald of Ettlingar Freyu|Harald of Froyalan]] was [[Count]] of [[Araxion]]. A signification portion moved to the [[Old East]] with him when he was appointed Count of [[Wintergleam]] several Elw years later. Those people are nowadays known as Haraldian [[Wintergleamish|Wintergleamers]];
 
*The second wave took place during Harald of Froyalan's [[Rulers of Elwynn|Reign]] as [[Duke]] and the name of the [[Lands of the Two Sacred Rivers]] was [[Froyalan]];
 
*The third and largest wave was triggered by the ascension of the [[Storjarl]] [[King Noah of Elwynn|Thorstein Noah]] to the [[White Orchid Throne]];
 
*The fourth wave, which has an overlap with the third wave, occurred when the [[Jorvik|Jarlorð of Jorvik]] became a part of Elwynn.
 
 
 
==Religion==
 
The vast majority of the Froyalanish profess the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]] although there are few of them who belong to the [[Bovinism|Bovic Faith]] and the Hurmudanish Faith.
 
 
 
==Languages==
 
Among themselves Froyalaners speak Froyalanish, [[Valtia|Valtian]], [[Hurmu]] Norse, [[Jorvik|Jorvish]] and [[Wintergleamish]]. They communicate with others in the Common Tongue.
 
 
 
==Stereotypes==
 
The following stereotypes float around among the other Peoples of Elwynn concerning the Froyalanish: Deeply religious. Strong and tall. Tough as nails. Inhumanly handsome. Hardworking and hard-partying. Nudists. Vikings. Overpaid, oversexed, and over here. Legal eagles. Dashing gastronomes and bon vivants with schwung and joie de vivre. Excessively fond of pomp and circumstance, pageantry, extravaganza, hólmganga, and pit fighting.
