Suvi
The Suvi (su-vi) people are islander fishermen and weavers of nets and baskets. They travel mostly along the continental shelf but have been known to bring in surprising prizes from the deep ocean. On the mainland of Frigranden, they trade primarily with the Kenta since they distrust the orc tribes and see little profit in the long trip around to the Northern Tribesmen.

Suvi do not leave a man behind unless the sea has taken him. They will do anything they can to recover a falled comrade until he is lost below the waves. Aristor the Wavebringer has the right to claimed any man who is lost at sea. Following them under might bring death and destruction to the whole village.
