Gehemnian (culture)

The Gehemnian culture is a Germanic-based culture inhabiting the central Vasterlands.
== History ==
The Gehemnians are unique in their origin - they are the only humans in Tairghol not to have arrived with the Halcyonian Flotilla. Rather, the Gehemnians came from the northern seas in the early 1st Century BCE. Far more warlike than the Armedeans and Ancturans, the Gehemnians drove a wedge between the peoples already living in the Vasterlands. They established several petty kingdoms and expanded as fast as their supply lines could manage, and were only stopped once the surrounding cultures united against them.
After the unification of the surrounding peoples during Volkmar's War, the Gehemnians were forced to accept their neighbours and became more peaceful. While still warlike, the Gehemnians of today are nowhere near as aggressive as their ancestors.
