Hill Ueif

Rabeurt Ueifs (Ueifus Ueifus Collis) are a race of sentient mustelids in the sub family Lutrinae that live on the Kanyar Island Chain and on the southern part of Hyperborea. Most of them live in walled villages in the hills.
==Etymology==
The name Rabeumn Ueif is of Proto-Duirwagg origin and means "people of the hill", consisting of the noun Rabeumn "a hill" and the plural noun Ueif meaning "tribe/community" or "people". 
The name Badwainnueir is of Proto-Duirwagg origin and means "red people", consisting of the adjective Badwainn "Red" and the plural noun Ueif (turned into the suffixal singular collective noun "Ueir" due to a description) meaning "tribe/community" or "people". 
==Description==
Their fur colour can vary from Burnt Umber to the rare pure ginger orange. They are generally smaller than their lowland cousins
==Society==
Few ueif openly fear Norsumerians except for those on the border where it is easier for Norsumerian raiding parties to access. This danger of living close to or even inside Norsumerian territory has made many hill clans more warlike than their eastern cousins. They have a greater hatred of Norsumerians and enjoy fighting. Their red tinged fur and aggressive nature lead to the saying "beware of those with fiery fur for the flame would have been ignited from the inside" , commenting on the anger that supposedly burns in all of the hill clans but it is mostly just a stereotype as not all of the hill clans are raged berserkers who thirst for blood. This could stereotype could be attributed to warriors of the hill clans nearer to the northern coast as they consume the holy "herb" constantly while on service as a warrior. This practice is considered blasphemous by other clans who they believe only those like priests and druids should be able to consume it. The ueif have a general belief that the herb makes you be able to sense spirits more and so for the tribes in the hills and north they argue that it is used for warriors to connect to ancestors and become better fighters by gaining knowledge from their predecessors during battle. Even after they have stopped consuming the drug and when they finish their service, they are prone to anger issues and quite damaged minds. They are called "embers" (Warrior apprentices are called this sparks as they will start their own fire) as they are fires that have gone out after a long time burning - though the wood that they have burnt on has been damaged and they are left as husks of their former selves.
==Language==
Most Rabeurt Ueifs speak Duirawgg - which literally means mouth of the Dueir, though a completely different dialect that becomes more unintelligible to a Duirt Ueif the higher into the hills you go.
