Fjord Baronies
Coldcurse:
sorry to say but the title of this topic actually sounds like Fjord Bronies....
like the fictional background though.
Dr Pantaleon:
Random question that recently popped up in my head:
What's the corresponding adjective for the Fjord Baronies?
A person from the Yesha Empire can be called a Yeshan, we obviously have Anglean Raiders and a chicken from the Arashi League is most certainly an Arashi chicken. But what about the Baronies?
I believe the adjective describing a Baron is "baronial", so would you refer to people from the Baronies as Baronials? Or maybe Fjordlanders?

honestly the fjord baronies are one of the most complex and mysterious factions as of right now, they just haven't been fleshed out as much as other factions (in a public document anyway) and feudal systems are very dense social structures. so we really wont know for sure until we are given more information.
but if i had to hazard a guess, it would depend on how closely you are looking at it. someone within the society would most likely identify with the particular barony they live in. while, people from other societies would probably identify everyone from there collectively. and i think something along the lines of fjordlanders is close to what would be used. as the kingdom is always referred to in reference to the fjords (at least in everything i have read).

Good point, as far as we know the Baronies are very heterogenous. I could imagine that which blood lines you are part of plays a very big role for the nobles, and the commoners identify with the noble family they swore fealty to.
Captain Smollett:
It's obvious, since people from the Nether Lands in our society are called the Dutch then people from the Fjord Lands would be called the Butch.
There solved it, they're all called Butch.
