Lorebook: Pahmsruun

The Pahmsruun are a form of People relating relatively closely to the Original Folk. It is believed that they originate from the Ruktruun and remain recognizably physically similar to them, but they and the Pahlruun/Palruuni split off from them many centuries ago (depending on who is asked). Unlike the Ruktruun clans, they believed they needed to welcome in order to reconcile all groups outside of their own. In droves their ancestors set sail on the river that flows down from Mount Taurikip and followed it all the way down to the sea, colonizing the lands along the way as well as founding a capital in the New World, Great Laurikin. Great Laurikin is renowned for its access to the rest of 'the world'; due to both Pahmsruun folk's desire to return home at their whimsy and their desire to educate and get to know the rest of the world. Laurikin holds many of the world’s most powerful shipping networks and has trips out from it through various means of transportation.

Despite being spread out over the world, most Pahmsruun hold a common culture in many ways due to various structures uniting them across space and time, like Great Laurikin and the Pahms Trading Company. Though they are known for being more apt to mixing with other People groups (both through simple social integration and through marital mixing), they are also known for maintaining a sense of uniquely Pahmsruun pride and culture regardless, strengthened by the continuing prestige of the Original Families and the relatively strong likelihood of their appearance traits passing on. It is believed they are ultimately the same form of People as the more physically diverse Pahlruun.
