I think it would be really cool if there was a third, probably smaller water tribe settlement in a greener area based off of the Vikings or other Nordic/Scandinavian peoples, especially if like the Vikings it put more emphasis on combat/bravery/activity but in a defensive way (to match more with their peaceful nature). I just love Vikings but they were pretty well known for their activity in the ocean (specifically called “sea faring people” as a main distinctive attribute) and living along coasts likes the fjords of norway (ok technically Norway didn’t show up til the end of the Viking era but the concept applies)
of course, they would have to keep the tradition of sending the dead off to sea in a boat
Viking ships. Need I say more?
The name Viking comes from the word Vikingr, meaning “pirate”
it’s commonly believed/well known that Vikings originated from a very harsh icy climate like the northern and southern tribes
Despite having warm summers, the clothing would be very similar, featuring furs and animal hides/parts, making use of little resources from icy biomes for the harsh winters similar to the north and south poles
apparently Vikings skiid (or something of the like) so the tribe could have specific proficiency with control, manipulating snow in addition to ice and water
Vikings didn’t conform to a particular group, history website says they probably didn’t even have a common name for their people, which would support the tribe being seperate from the northern and southern tribes
blondes. Probably the only blondes in the series because apparently Vikings found ways to bleach their hair and did it on purpose. I think the tribe, though few in number, would be very proud and happy to bleach their hair even if it would very obviously set them apart
So yeah. Viking water tribe. Who’s with me?
