Eastmarcher - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

"The children of the East build their homes in the ice-shackled north and between the snowed-in crags and mountain ranges of Skyrim. They are staunchly honorable and believe in just leadership almost as much as in their own gods. Though, their emphasis on trust and pursuit of honor and justice — a blind obsession, at times — has historically left the Eastmarchers exploited by those who can appeal to it.

Ever respectful of their past, these people preserve their ancestry and revere it in song and epic tales that have found appreciation well beyond Skyrim. Eastmarcher ways with sword and axe, however, are known and studied abroad far more vigorously than their works of literature."
