Dolindhan Ruinborn Elves are people inhabiting the upper central valley of the Ynn River. Their southern border with the Sarda is marked by the lordships of Drevkenuc and Arganjuzorn, while westward their ethnic borders start blending with those of the Rzentur in Juzondezan.
Significance[]
Dolindhans are the oldest of the three Ynnic cultural groups, having settled the Ynn River's upper valley since the start of the second century After Ash, gradually assimilating the previous Brefineis and Malacnari cultures.
Under the Kingdom of Vareynn, Dolindhans went on to unite the entirety of the Ynn River, forging the Ynnic Empire. As a legacy of their conquest, Dolindhan hair colours and facial features are a common sight even in Rzenta and Sarda, making them the most common Ynnic group as well.
Subgroups[]
By the Age of Greentide, Brelar and Malacnar's inhabitants had largely assimilated into Dolindhan culture, although with Malacnar's resurgence after Galadorn's Rebellion came an attempted revival of ancient Malacnari culture and institutions which had since attained legendary status. The Brelari also remained keenly aware of their Brefineis heritage, which was preserved through their republican institutions, their great herds of Four-Horned Sheep and their endurance-based style of warfare.
The Drevkenuco are noted as particularly short among Dolindhans, while the Juzornic, inhabiting the Ynn's western side, follow ranching styles and architectural techniques more suited to the prairies of the Epednan Expanse, while also receiving the influence of neighbouring Sarda villages and Epednar chiefdoms.
