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

"The Systreans, or High Isle Bretons, are the descendants of Breton sailors from High Rock who arrived on the Systres Archipelago in the wake of Bendu Olo's All-Flags Navy. The Systreans grafted a rough sort of mimicry to the feudal society in High Rock onto the jungle islands, and were rewarded with formal recognition by the Akaviri Potentates in exchange for administering the archipelago as a destination for undesirables - many of which have since integrated into Systrean society, which has borrowed liberally from the Abecean cultures surrounding it."
