History
The Northmen arrived in the Moonshae Islands quite recently. Their original homes were the coastal lands north of Waterdeep and the island kingdoms of Tuern and Gunderland. Viewing the Moonshaes at first as regions to plunder and raid, they gradually settled upon the lands they had terrorized, merging with the Ffolk who remained to create a strong and vital race of seafarers.
Those Ffolk who remained on the northern isles accepted the gods, the kings, and the customs of the Northmen. At first, this was the cost of staying alive, but soon it became accepted into the culture of these Ffolk.
