The Sørmirbæren (Serpentborn) are the savage natives of the Black Sea. They have been called various names such as serpentines, natives, savages, or even chalk zoners by certain colorful southerner.

Description

This section needs expansion.

Nobody knows much about the serpentborn, but different factions of the Black Sea each have their own views on them.

Ferryman: "They are a tribe of proud, strong warriors, intolerant of weakness and fear - and outsiders and what they represent. These serpent-filled waters they deem sacred, and they'll punish everyone unworthy of entering them by spilling their guts for the very same serpents to feast on... or worse. They lead simple, primitive lives, focused on things that, to them, matter the most: they hunt, they grow livestock, hone their skills and crafts, practice their beliefs and defend what is theirs. They are in tune with their environment; and even though high technology surrounds them from their birth till their death, they do not employ it. Everything they do emerges from and is guided by their worship of the serpent, Flottsørmir."

Language

Sørmirbæren language could be called a nordic creole language, similarly to how Fatherland language spoken by Gray Army soldiers and Kokoschka is a proto-slavic language or perhaps a slavic creole. Sørmirbæren most closely resembles Norwegian, but incorporates elements from all north germanic languages and even bits of Finnish in its vocabulary.
