==People==
The Camlings are red of hair, ranging from pale orange to fiery red or dark auburn. Their eyes are shades of copper or brown, and their skin ranges from pale to copper to dusky brown. Their hair ranges from very curly to very straight or simply wavy. They are both industrious in labor, adventurous in spirit, and warlike in manner. They take offense easily and are slow to forgive. Passionate and vulgar, though the nobility turn that vulgarity to strictness. They are argumentative, having their own unique circular logic, and are opportunists, not caring much for propriety if it means gold or glory. They were the first to explore the Isles of Veyhn and have surprisingly peaceful relations with its natives. They look down on those who are peaceful, seeing it as idleness and the lack of passion towards the things one owns. Ownership is a weak rule among them, and they do not hold promises for long if it does not suit them, they marry often, and sometimes have multiple loves at once. They live among rolling green hills, many rivers that often flood, and craggy mountains not tall enough to get snow. Their faces are often red from the sun, getting freckles by nature of being outdoors, while commoners simply brown in the sun. They can be muscular and bulky, or lean and swift. Often using dual swords or two-handed war-axes. They consider themselves adult at 16 and often start working jobs at age 12, some even becoming soldiers or sailors at that age. A minority of them have green eyes, those that mingled with those from the Isles of Veyhn, but as it is not common, it is seen as a sign of evil magics, or of the blessing of the gods, of which they worship many. They revere the wolves and the eagles and the horses. Many of them have great shaggy war dogs, while cats are simply kept for rats, and seen as sneaky creatures. There is a High King, and many liege lords, with a handful of great houses that are ancient. There is a large coastal town that gets much trade and where the local pirates and sailors make port. Scars are considered marks of pride that one has survived battle, and as the winters are bitterly cold and wet, and the summers cloudy and cool, wolf furs and eagle feathers are prized for clothing, as well as sheep wool. Food is not a big part of the culture, but mead and ale is, and is a great export, along with wool, and metals and gems from the mines in Namen (while occupied). Music and dance are a large part of the culture, but literature is not, though leaders are often expected to make rallying speeches to citizens and soldiers alike. The voices of women are high and they sing shrilly and sadly, while the voices of men are harsh, gruff, and loud. Cattle farming, pubs, and churches. Based on Scotland. They are a superstitious people, using herbal medicine, and being wary of the fey they share their lands with, as there are indeed many fairies and fey around that cause trouble for the unwary or the unbelieving foreigner. They are friendly and cheerful, but altogether brooding and think themselves superior to strange foreigners. 
==Geography==
Many rivers of varying sizes, canoes and rafts are often used. There are many small winding cobbled roads that the Crown maintains. Towns are made of granite-like stone and ancient. 
==History==
Camling has a long history of occupying Namen, having been the first to occupy them, and the second. They have had many political conflicts and resolutions with their primary neighbor; Ithryn, who by turns wants to both wishes to use them to their benefit, and destroy them as a threat.
The majority of Camlings are actually from Kanne (England) that escaped their homeland when the werewolf curse came. The ruling class are fey, and there are many wild fey that the people fear and guard against and try to not anger. There is a lot of tension between the native population (Celtic & Welsh) and those who descend from the outsiders (who do not speak the official language).
About 40 percent of people have wavy hair instead of curly. While at times it is trendy to straighten hair to imitate the hair of other nations. Only around 10 percent of people have blue eyes, and it is considered the most attractive. 30 percent have green eyes, while 60 percent have shades of brown and hazel
