The Kernevon people are an ancient coastal ethnic group indigenous to the northern highlands and sea-facing provinces of Normandie. Distinguished by their unique language, rich oral folklore, and enduring maritime traditions, the Kernevons are one of the oldest cultural communities within the Grand Duchy.

The Kernevon people are an ancient coastal ethnic group indigenous to the northern highlands and sea-facing provinces of Normandie. Distinguished by their unique language, rich oral folklore, and enduring maritime traditions, the Kernevons are one of the oldest cultural communities within the Grand Duchy. Despite waves of imperial rule and cultural dilution, they have preserved a vibrant identity deeply rooted in seafaring life, clan loyalty, and cyclical ritual practices.
History
The Kernevons trace their origins to prehistoric coastal settlements established along the wind-beaten cliffs and forested bays of Normandie’s northern rim. Though their early history is mostly unwritten, archaeological findings suggest a society built on fishing, farming, and megalithic worship. By the first millennium AN, they had developed a sophisticated oral legal system, seasonal chieftain councils, and long-distance trade routes with neighboring island peoples. Unlike the central plains of Normandie, the Kernevon region resisted early feudal integration due to its difficult terrain and fierce tribal independence.
Though the Varjan people claim descent from a separate revolutionary tradition, most scholars agree that the Varjan population was historically absorbed into Kernevon society after the fall of the Varjan republic in 1484 AN. Today, Varjans exist as a cultural offshoot within the broader Kernevon region, particularly near the Arpad frontier. While they preserve some unique oral legends and festivals, linguistic and cultural distinctions are minimal. Kernevons themselves often view Varjans with a mix of familial sympathy and cultural skepticism, seeing them as “kin who never quite came home.”
