Old Ones

The Old Ones (Kú."Lîm-múg") were a number of mannish peoples or tribes indigenous to the continents of Southernesse. They were often believed to have been related to the Barangils of Far-Harad, the Narnerin Men of the South-eastern Regions or the Drughu.

The Old Ones had no single word for themselves as they spoke a variety of unrelated languages and consisted of many different clans and tribes.One of the largest northern tribes of the great east-continent had been the "Lîm-Múg", the original tribe had been exterminated, but the tribes name survived in the common coastal-tongue of Southernesse or "kùrúdfarî" as a synonym for "Old Ones" in general.

Other notable groups or peoples within the culture of the Old ones included the Bilâwarân or "Strandmen" , the Guardians, the Whalers or Gûmugûyayawân, the Eûnyandô or "Venturers", the Ulmic Folk and the Bûngandâman or "Sun-children".
