Tír Frjál

Four clans call Tír Frjál (Land of the Free Folk) their home. Despite having a sizeable liveable land mass, all fír suthr of this island remain in the north-eastern third of the island. The rest, it is said, belong to the fír frjál, who have forbidden any kind of expansion into those areas.

There are several stories of brave explorers, painted as arrogant youths, who ventured into the unsettled parts of the island, only to have their chewed bones returned to their villages by angry fír frjál. The two, however, generally live peacefully as neighbours(*) and have had little conflict over the thousands of years the fír suthr have called the Southern Archipelago home.

(*)It must be remarked upon that the fír suthr live and act as though the fír frjál exist, and so any mention of them as fact in the breadth of my works is merely a reflection of southern attitudes, not belief in the creatures themselves.
