JesseLowe/Kamsa

Originally, see Kamsa.

• "Finnish"
• Raiders and farmers
• Settling into /Iridia rather aggressively.

Under the leadership of the Solar Eino Selin, the Kamsa have migrated from their ancestral homelands to avoid the wrath of the Bishop of the Chalcedony Thurible and the predations of the Bull of the North.

Their path has been a roundabout one, which Eino has been guiding with half-truths of "visions." First, they attempted to enter the Empire of Kruzky, but were rebuffed and traveled along the northern edge of the Empire until they reached the coast. There, Eino taught the Kamsa the art of sailing, and by stealing ships from servants of the Bishop, they set sail southward along the coast.

Making their way south, they raided and looted coastal kingdoms for survival, picking up the art of fishing along the way. Over the course of a year, they have finally made their way into the waters of Cherak.

The Rahkamo Clan

The Rahkamo Clan hasn't been doing that well under the rule of Eino Selin. The clan's Eldest Sister, Lotta Rahkamo never got along with Eino before his Exaltation, and is now consumed with resentment. Acting on this emotion, she raided without his approval along the Cherak coast, and worse, did not give the accepted tribute. The clan was ostracized, and this led to a true disaster. Sailing ahead of the main fleet by a matter of weeks, they were ambushed by a Realm wolfpack and nearly destroyed. Only eight ships -- a tenth -- survived, and then only through the intervention of the Solar Wind Fleet. The captains of the Rahkamo Clan -- and the surviving family leaders -- are:

• /LottaRahkamo
• /AnteroRahkamo
• /ViljoRahkamo
• /AuliRahkamo
• /KimRahkamo
• /NilsRahkamo
• /SuviRahkamo
• /JohanRahkamo (God-blooded, child of an air-spirit back in their homeland)

The clan's totem is the bear.
