Svukangs

*This page includes role-play FANON information, any Canon material will be marked accordingly.*

**The Svukangs** are a group of people that live in the far north, where it's mostly cold. They are notorious for their raids on the people of the mainland which they use their longships for. With some exceptions, most Svukangs show primitive behaviour. They are related with the Lochlanns.

## History

The Svukangs lived in the cold far north also referred as "The Land of Death" by the Imperians, because it's overdrawn with ice and snow. Over time, some svukang tribes traveld to the south in other cold areas where they have far better access to the ocean than in the north. While some Svukangs formed kingdoms, other ones remained as tribes.

## Way of Life

Svukangs are known to be brutal. Because farming isn't as efficent in their homeland like it is on the rest of the known world, they stick to raiding other kingdoms and settlements to enrich themselves from the possesions of their weaker victims. They often chose poor protected villages or monasterys for their common raids. But the Svukangs are also known to be conquerers as well. Svukang kings often call out for war against smaller kingdoms in the east and and take posessions of their castles and towns. From time to time, svukang adventures gather a army of tribal warriors to take over a holding and create their own kingdoms.

The huge majority (when not all) of svukangs are pagan. While the svukang patheon knows other gods which are also worshipped, most Svukangs are devout followers of the god Dynric who is reffered as the "King of the Gods" in the Svukang pantheon. Dynric declared war on mankind after they left him for the false idols of the new organized religions. This is seen as another reason for Svukangs to raid other settlemets and monasterys.

### Language

The svukan language is often referred to as the "nordic language" even tough not every nordic culture speaks svukan. For example, the svukan language has three diphthong phonemes: ɛi, ɔu, øy, ɛy (spelled (ei), (au⟩, (ey) respectively). The language has a lot of umlauts like y, y, ø, ø, ɛ, ɛ, ø, and also blocking of ii, uu. For example: klæði + dat -i remains klæði and jj and ww becomes ggj and ggv.

A full sentence in the svukan language looks like this: "(*..) stirt var honum norrœnt mál, ok kylfdi mᴊǫk til orðanna, ok hǫfðu margir menn þat mᴊǫk at spotti."*

### Traditions

* Svukangs are known to be ruthless, cruel and atrocious because of their behaviour. People from the known world see them as nothing else as savages from the north.
* Honor and bravery play an important role in the lives of the svukangs. But it is said, that a true svukang can only prove himself worthy of honor and bravery in battle.
* Svukangs can also be cruel to other svukang tribes or kingdoms when they compete with each other.
* Svukangs know a lot of festivities where they worship their gods, ancestors or victorys. The summer solstice plays an impirtant role in these festivities.
* Some svukang warriors take mushrooms in battle to get enraged and also more brutal in battle. These warriors are referred as "Berserkers."
