Predish

The Predish people, language, and culture are a diverse group that is predominate on the Pavalonian peninsula and the Arwynian Isles but has large populations throughout western Wahrland, Adessa, and Elyssia as well as disporia around the Archonite. They originate from the northern islands of Skalland where mythically they escaped the enslavement by the legendary Novoskal Dominion through fleeing south on a mighty Arc that contained their entire population. The story goes that they landed in an inlet hidden in the Blue Rock Mountains that would come to be known as Avais. Historically there is little record of this tale but evidence supports the Predish were a migratory people who came south and did make landfall at the forgotten city and would proceed to expand outwards settling territory and having occassional confrontations with the Espelin horse-lords and the Volkae war hordes.

These people would eventually form the language of High Predish that, through influences of the Auran language, became more refined than its predecessor. The old tongue of Low Predish is still spoken in rural  and impoverished areas of Pavalon as well as in many of the southern Arwynian Isles.
