Bretagard
Information
Plane Kaldheim
Status Perpetually in conflict

Bretagard is one of the ten realms of the plane of Kaldheim. It is the realm of the humans.[1]

Description

Bretagard is a land of sprawling grasslands and a vast, ancient forest, surrounded by a perilous, storm-tossed sea.

The clans

The five human clans of Bretagard are perpetually in conflict with one another, but are able to keep the peace by the "Code of Clans".

The Beskir

The Defenders of the Code ({W})
Although never reaching beyond the grassland of the Feltmark, the lawspeaker clerics maintain peace and order among the clans of Bretagard. They have taken upon themselves the honor (and struggle) of enforcing the Code of Clans.

The Omenseekers

The Navigators ({U})
Legendary explorers, seeking the thrill of discovery. With skilled navigators and sleek longships they control the sea. The ships are long and trim, inscribed with tales of glorious battle and cunning victory, and glide over the waves like the drakes and serpents carved into their prows.

The Skelle

The Raiders ({B})
Shrouded in an aura of supernatural mystery, the Skelle conquer the settlements of other clans and collect tribute from their citizens. They have broken the Code of the Clans and are no longer bound by it.

The Tuskeri

The Hedonists ({R})
To be part of the Tuskeri clan is to think only of greatness. They care for next to nothing except performing epic feats, and then boasting about them in outlandish tales.

The Kannah

The Wanderers ({G})
Cursed to be eternal nomad in the Aldergard forest, the Kannah wander in search of redemption and a path that will lead them to the warrior's paradise of Starnheim.
