“Freemen of Clandom do not kneel.”

 

Preamble:

Vistulia is a collection of southern islands that hold the Radaghastian and Cingedoz cultures. Currently run by the Piast of Vistulia; Casimir Vilchyc, the islands offer solace and companionship to anyone who wishes to come. Vistulia gives a united feel to its citizens and acts as a shelter for the abandoned.
 

Cultures:

There are two primary cultures in Vistulia but it’s not at all limited to either, any culture is welcome to call Vistulia home.

 

Radaghastians: Hospitable people with a joyful nature and a strong will. You’ll often be able to tell who’s Radaghastian by their distinct accent and strong language. They’ve been raised to have deep respect for nature and the earth at their feet. A strong, sturdy group of men and women with short tempers but kind temperaments.

Spoiler

The Radaghastian race is predominantly a mix of modern and old Polish culture. If you’d like to know more about them, read the more in-depth culture post (Fit with its very own audiobook!); https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/192128-culture-radaghastian/

 

Cingedoz: The Cingedoz are often known for their woodworking & other artisanal professions as well as being inclined to adventure & traveling for trade. Thusly, though the Cingedoz are a smaller clan, they contribute greatly to the Isles by bringing in trade and diplomacy. You will often see both men & women taking up the bardic tradition, penmanship, and an austere & practical architecture. They speak the Sprækjom language and have distinct accents when speaking Common.

Spoiler

The Cingedoz are based on continental Celtic cultures (La Tene Celts, think Belgae, Gaul, Suebi) with a mixture of faint Old Norse, and Proto-Germanic influences.

Traditions/Jobs:

Often times the traditions themselves are usually just cultural traditions. Most traditions of the cultures blend in with the Clandom as a collective, it is not strictly for one group but for everyone as a whole to get involved in and learn. Although the jobs are unlimited and offered to anyone who feels fit to take on the task.

 

Vistulian horses: Horses are a big part of Vistulia. You won’t see a single citizen without a proper home-bred steed. These horses are often bred to max durability, strength and speed, often large and powerful creatures that can trek through all types of climates. Horses are Vistulian's best friends.

Clansguard: Many Vistulians are seen in the clansguard armour, representing a strong group of men and women who have agreed to put their life on the line for their home. These people have been trained for physical combat against both people and monsters alike, they are taught an assortment of things such as ranged and close-combat styles.

This is a public forum post that explains some of the guards (Warning; slightly outdated); https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/212941-clansguards-of-the-daeland-vistulian-clandom/?tab=comments#comment-1915290

 

Blacksmithery: If you are interested in working with metal to create fascinating objects or simply want to create weaponry and armour, Vistulia is always an option! Vistulia is often looking for people who can provide us with unique objects along with useful ones.

 

Narada: Narada is essentially the court of Vistulia. You often go there to hear about matters going on, speak on behalf of something or contest a decision. You can even get involved in voting for things that could change the islands.

 

Maps to Vistulia and the land itself:

As stated before, Vistulia is set in the south, and the path itself is fairly easy to follow. The islands themselves are rather cosy and linked together with bridges. People often appreciate the closeness of everything, glad they don’t have to follow a maze to get to certain places.

 Casimir could be found drinking and smoking from his wooden pipe in the tavern, listening to the rowdy clients and spending the best years of his life.

Jasna sits in the corner of the tavern, knocked out from a night of drinking vodka. A piece of wolf fur was draped atop her, even though her bulky armor did enough to keep her warm.

Brennus treaded the main thoroughfare from the Langotegos [Sprækjom, Common: Long-hall] of the Cingedoz to the village green on the central isle. He rounded the corner past his clan's woodworking shop and walked within inches of a few of his kinsman setting up an exchange facing the tavern. One of the men, Ariovistus, walked towards Brennus and greeted him.

 

"Slanu, hwakin dagrju dobre? - Hail, is your day good?" Ariovistus jovially queried, clapping a hand on Brennus shoulder as the two came to embrace in a familial hug.

 

"Aye, hwaet binatju? - Yes, what are you doing?" Brennus answered and inquired. A litter of small wagons seemed to suggest they were setting off from the Isles.

 

Ariovistus pointed between each wagon and explained that they wanted to encourage people to sell them goods that the Cingedoz would then take outside the Isles and sell and how they would invest the minas earned to pay townspeople for professions in the town. Brennus merrily cheered them on, promising the coffers of the tribe towards their ambitions.
