Riverki

The Riverki are a race of nomadic warriors settled in southeastern Alderon. They are well-known for their skill in battle, and widely feared for their merciless tactics. In Kyravelle, they are referred to as Rivereners, in reference to their adopted home province, Riverenbeck. The Riverki are one of the major reoccurring groups in The Unnamed Story.

Etymology
Riverki means 'People of the Wolf'. The word itself is a portmanteau of the word ' riveri ' (a type of canid predator) and the suffix 'ynki ' ("derived from"). In reference to this, Riverki commonly refer to their own kind as being "(born) of the wolf". Anyone not "of the wolf" is considered an Outsider.

The origins of the name itself are unknown. One theory is that the word was meant as a slur against the Riverki by the Alderans, referring to their wolf-life eyeteeth and "savage" methods.

History
Originally from an unknown province in the eastern Continent, the Riverki migrated to the west several centuries ago, around the same time as the Alderan Nation.

Trivia

 * The Riverki are inspired by multiple cultures, including but not limited to Native Americans, Romani and Spartans, with features resembling fantasy-genre classes such as barbarians and elves.
 * The clans each represent a Slavic or Eastern European country, with Vatesh symbolizing Russia and Atvek symbolizing Poland. Others are still to be discovered. Each clan accent represents this.
