History
Many ages ago, the very few tribes that lived on the island in the north-west (not a name, just referring to the island in the north-west on the map) left their home as it was inhospitable. They sailed away in a random direction, hoping to find a better place to live. Lucky as they were, they sailed towards The Zorn. They settled on the first island they encountered, which they then called Baleria, and resumed with their lifes, only this time on more favorable lands. During the ages after the discovery of The Zorn, a pair of other small islands next to Baleria were colonized, as there was a lack of space and resources. The tribe system was then introduced, because it was too hard for one person to manage and rule over all the islands.
Present
What the Tribes of the Zorn do now, is no different from what they did the last few ages. Under the rule of Harald Darran and Harald's father before him, the Tribes of the Zorn have merged all their navies into one massive navy, and started building multiple new war ships to lead the navy during a raid. Harald Darran also made a plan to spend more time and money on settling the other islands of The Zorn, as rumours had spread that there are new resources hiding on those islands. This plan has however not been executed just yet.
Culture, way of life
The Tribes of the Zorn look, act and live very much like the vikings our world has known. For the Tribes of the Zorn, the only way to become wealthy and honorable, is to fight for the navy. Men who don't fight for the navy are usually 'at the bottom of the pyramid', most of the times they are just ignored by everyone. The Women of the Zorn are very much capable of taking over the men's tasks when they're out on a raid. Because of this, it is not uncommon that a women is chosen to be the leader of a tribe rather than a man.
Although some men prefer fighting with bows, most men wield heavy weapons like axes. The soldiers of the navy are lightly armoured, but tend to wear a lot of fur over their armor to stay warm.
The Tribes of the Zorn know only one god, which is the God of the Sea. All the important moments of life (birth, marriage, death etc.) take place next to the sea. When the sea is rough, the Tribes of the Zorn think the God of the Sea is telling them that it's time for a new raid. When the sea is normal, the God of the Sea is telling the Tribes of the Zorn to just continue whatever they're doing.
