Hesowythian

Name of the ethnicity of the Hesowyth Peninsula, a culture shared by the city-state of Reynir, the nation of Skalamyrr, and the southeastern region of Brienia.

Appearance
Hesowythian people are olive skinned, and fair of hair and eyes. They are known to be tall, averaging 5'10". They typically have thin noses, pointed chins, and large inviting eyes. Other cultures often describe their eyes as particularly erogenous.

Languages
The Hesowythian language is spoken all along the Hesowyth Peninsula, and is a common lingua Franca for business and trade. Other cultures describe it as musical compared to other more guttural tongues. It is the dominant language of Skalamyrr, Reynir, and the southern provinces of Brienia.

Art and Architecture
There is a diverse variety of buildings and art created by Hesowythians, as the varieties of climate and territory of the people are also highly varied. Along the coasts of the Glass Sea, buildings are exceptionally pointed stone structures with thin outer walls built to withstand the humid environment. Inland buildings are more simple, and often built of a combination of wood and stone. The architecture of the Northwest Hesowythians is radically different from their southern brethren, and is influenced by the thick timber styles of the Lowland Amarosi.

Religion
Hesowythian culture follows Hesorism, in which cleanliness/bathing, bisexuality/gender equality, and ancestor worship are some of the main teachings.
