Fleshing out Rostland


Kingmaker


My players founded their first city, two of sessions ago, and naturally, their first settlers were predominantly Rostlanders. I've been trying to flesh out Rostland, to give my players a flavorful citizenry to interact with. From what I've read, if Issia is basically Westeros with less impressive house mottoes(sorry Paizo), then Rostland is a landlocked Braavos, full of brash swordsmen(and women!), bright clothing, and posturing.

Since Rostland was founded by Taldan explorers, and presumably has a history of interacting with Issia, I would assume the culture would be a mix of greek and slavic influences, perhaps with Macedonian inspired names, folk music, andand cuisine?

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Have a few swordlords present among the settlers, especially once you have things that could be described as creature comforts.
Remember that you’ll have a lot of fishermen so sea shanties or their equivalents will probably be present


If I remember correctly (either from the AP or one of the guides) Most rostlanders as fairly proud farmers - who bristle at the slightest insults. Their leaders will likely be fighters with e Sword Scion trait - with a few real Aldori (fairly Low level) thrown i for good measure.

Your PCs had better be polite, or you (as GM) had better be prepared for some fights. :)
