The '''Wintergleamish''', also known as '''Wintergleamers''' are one of the [[Twelve Peoples of Elwynn]]. They are chiefly composed of people of [[Stormark|Storish]] descent which have a significant overlap with the [[Froyalanish]]. There also is a quite diverse group of people who are referred as Wintergleamers, but have no real identification with any other of the Twelve Peoples of [[Elwynn]]. To distinguish the two groups are the former referred to as the [[Harald of Ettlingar Freyu|Haraldian]] Wintergleamers, and the latter as the [[Leo Fenrir|Fenririan]] Wintergleamers.

The Wintergleamers of Storish descent form the vast majority of the population in the Circuit of [[Wintergleam]], which roughly corresponds to the eastern part of the [[Old East]] [[Royal Precinct]] called the [[Agnesia and Wintergleam|County of Agnesia and Wintergleam]].

The Haraldian Wintergleamers are chiefly composed of a human race called [[Vanamaðr]] and sentient humanoid beings like elves, dwarves, merfolk, faeries, halflings, zotrians, etc. Wintergleamish Elves are refered to as [[Álfarnir]]. The Fenririan Wintergleamers are virtually all humans.
