Deepfellings
The Lake People- known to some as the Deepfellings- are the default Human type. These people are not native to the Deepfell area. They colonized along the river three hundred years ago when plentiful land and gold were discovered in the North Veldt. Opportunists came to build an upriver, inland community from Cold Harbor. These people built a settlement on elevated boardwalks supported by timber sunk into the muck of the area. The initial colonists and prospectors that settled Deepfell came from several cultures. They intermarried and some took wives and husbands from the Veldt natives. The culture has homogenized into a spectrum of what most people recognize as Lake People.
Deepfellings are known for being rugged, and by Cold Harbor standards, seem unsophisticated. The "frontier colony" has clung to the city like a damp fog. Their town, while successful and having brisk trade, has always been rough around the edges. All Lake People know how to swim, have knowledge of navigating and repairing river boats, know how to use and make rope, and may know some basic carpentry/shipwright skills. Few Lake People have extensive experience with horses.
