In my old, but newly rediscovered notes, there's a typewritten paragraph about the land of Moran. This is a fantasy land which I no longer know where it was supposed to be since it's not shown on my map of the world. I assume Moran was originally somewhere to the north or the east of Celsythir. I paraphrase here, instead of quoting verbatim, because my old notes are rather sloppily written.
MORAN
Moran is known for its rolling hills, its sparsely leaved twig trees, its and shipwrights. In the uplands people are mainly farmers or priests. In the lands near the sea people are mostly fishermen, traders, or shipwrights. Most live in small villages.
The Moranese people are good natured and calm. But they do not welcome non-Moranese to their land, and fight any southern or western influence.
In Moran one can only wear solid colors. Only in elaborate outfits are more than two colors used, or trimmings such as embroidery. Most garments are loosely fitting. Common fabric colors in Moran are maroon, deep violet, bright blue, kelly green, rust orange, bright red and rich brown. Men and married women wear leather boots. Fur is common in coats.
The Moranese generally have brownish-gold skin, greenish slanted eyes, and medium brown hair.
