Westholder - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki
"The children of the Western Holds call the windswept plains and lush valleys of Skyrim their home. Strife courses through the Westholders' veins, subtly permeating their society with conflict-seeking and problem-solving. They make for excellent merchants, lawmen, and diplomats, but when their problems are out of their reach, the Westholder becomes a capable tactician and a skilled soldier.
As they are driven to find solutions, Westholders are eager to learn outside perspectives, although they won't hesitate to shut the world off if it has nothing relevant to offer."
