One people, five clans, each numbering perhaps three or four thousand total (a thousand good warriors), for a total of twenty thousand displaced people. They have been driven from the fringes of the Wyld to the present coast over the last hundred years by a variety of misfortunes and the constant enmity of a god. They call themselves the Svear.

• The Njar: Ashkaru (Air-aspected DB). By tradition, the Njar are descended from a Dragon-blooded woman who fled the Great Contagion by plunging into the Wyld, and in so doing brought the Svear to safety. The Njar are the oldest family.</b>
• The Halden: God-blooded descended from Suhel, the Svear's god of the Day.
• The Bram: God-blooded descended from Mehlnsot, goddess of the Night.
• The Ketilbiorn: The funerists. Heads of the local ancestor cult
• The Gulla: Fae-blooded. Outsiders.
