The human groups originating from the north have fair skin. The Isenvor and Arwondel humans are often pale, while the Odar humans tend to be tanned. The Emerald humans have an olive complexion, and are commonly well tanned. Human hair colors range from black and brown to red and blond. Red and blond hair is more common among the Isenvor humans, while the Emerald humans almost exclusively have dark or brown hair. Humans have brown, blue or green eyes, with the latter being very unusual among the Isenvor humans. The Isenvor humans dress in heavy furs and hides of crude but functional cut, to protect them from the elements. They often use animal heads to make fearsome hide caps, complete with cranium and teeth for the effect. Wool and cotton are goods high in demand, but they seldom get the opportunity to buy or loot them. There is little variation in their repertoire of clothing, and the men and women wear much the same attire. Common articles are thick pants and shirts, caps, high leather boots and cloaks. A cloak has several uses; when it is not worn to shield against the wind it is used as a blanket, or as a sack to carry loot or prey. Hair and beards are grown long for added warmth, which they either keep in long thick braids or let hang untied. It is customary to only wash in the summertime, when the temperature allows it. Thus their hair gains a rough appearance during the colder seasons. While metal is appreciated for weaponry, it is seldom used for adornments or armor, due to its weight and inability to protect against the cold. Instead, high quality furs are used to make fanciful trimmings, or articles such as caps, gloves and boots. In deep snow the Isenvor humans use snowshoes to improve their ability to travel and hunt. The Odar humans mainly use furs and leather for clothing materials, from the hides of their prey and their deceased horses, but they sometimes buy cloth from the Mervin halflings. They prefer clothes that support mobility, enabling actions such as riding and archery. Examples of clothes are chaperon cowls, tunics, pants and high leather boots. Men and women dress much the same, although women sometimes wear skirts instead of pants. They often keep valuables with them, in pouches attached to their belts or baldrics. Their hair is rarely cut, and they bind it back in ponytails or use headbands to keep it out of their eyes. Horses and riders are popular motifs in their adornments and art. Horse hair is used to decorate their clothing, and is hand woven into belts and bracelets. They sew beadwork designs upon their clothes, and make beaded earrings and necklaces. Arwondel humans mainly dress in colored cloth, such as linen and wool. Commoners dress in shirt or long tunics, surcoats, tight fitting pantaloons or skirts, caps, and pointed shoes. Those of military station commonly wear a tabard to display their heraldic colors. Since trade provides access to almost any material, rich citizens are often seen wearing exotic furs and fabrics such as silk and velvet. They wear much the same basic clothes as the commoners, but of more expensive quality and fabric, and they commonly are richly embellished. To further distinguish themselves, the men wear such items as fur brimmed mantles, robes, hats and extravagant codpieces. The wealthy women wear long gowns and robes, trimmed with fur, and big hats or crespines – hairnets of mesh or cloth, under which their plaited hair is kept. The city folk commonly keep their hair neat, and the women often braid it. The men tend to have shoulder-length short hair, and they shave or keep neatly trimmed beards. Precious metals, gems and other items considered valuable are often worn as a sign of fortune. Small details of glasswork are sometimes worn in the hair, on the clothes, or used as rings and earrings. The Emerald humans gain wool and hide from their goat and sheep herds, but their trade yields them some access to other materials as well. Their garments are typically durable and of wide cut, dyed in modest earthy colors. The men wear tunics, vests, cloaks, caps and knee-length trousers. They keep short hair and beards. The women have long hair, and wear gowns, long skirts and veils. Leather accessories are common, such as high boots, belts and bracers, and they have a special technique to impregnate them against water. They favor items from the sea as adornments, with fish, ships and sea serpents being frequent elements in their art. Objects made from sea serpent hide are deemed very prestigious.
