He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious.

The Moss Men are a race of islanders that inhabit the Weeping Stones archipelago, located far to the west of the mainland where Fastheld is located. They are a seafaring race, seafood being a main staple of their diet. The have domesticated the llama and use them as mounts and pack animals.

The religion of the Moss Men is polytheistic in nature. They believe the six moons in the night sky to be the gods. Each of the six islands in the Weeping Stones has a patron god, and the patron god has their own temple on that island.

Priests travel from island to island, singing songs and telling stories that have been handed down through generations. The Moss Men are aware and suspicious of magic.

Anyone with supposed magical ability is exiled to the sixth island of the archipelago, whose patron god is, unsurprisingly, the god of Shadow.

So far, the Moss Men have not made contact with the Imperials of Fastheld, or the Halaghi.
