Tellic Culture
The tellic culture is associated to the pale skinned, dark haired, bright eyed people of the Northern region of Hex. They came from the 'homeland' to Hex around 5000 years ago funding Firsthold and spread southward. Tellic cultures respect tradition, strength and diligence.

The Core of the Tellic Culture
Tellian throughout the age changed a lot, but a few things remained the same.

Main Virtues
The tellic culture encourage honesty, devotion to one family and clan, diligence and straight forwardness.

Early Tellic
The early tellic took control of the 'new lands' quickly after landing. Originally their territory was a few miles around Firsthold. Early tellic were know for accrued xenophobia since they waged war against the goblin natives for survival. Early Tellic thought family and clan was the focus of civilization and had strict gender roles.

Early tellic wrote their ancient legacy on stone sculpture made by the all-female runespeakers. Many of the stones still stand in present time.

Imperial Tellic
After driving out the goblins, the tellic people quickly expanded taking the entirety of what is today the Northrealm, northern Eastrealm and were fighting against the natives in the Westrealm. The Imperial period saw the Tellic culture diversify itself greatly. The roles of warrior became increasingly prevalent until the Emperor himself was elected by soldiers. The Imperial tellic started to venerate their war heroes and the thirst for conquest allowed them to span about half of Hex.

Female tellic had it hard in the Imperial era, their sacred role of runespeaker was no longer as necessary and reverence of femininity became taboo. Most female lived as wives or concubine to soldiers.

Post-Contact Tellic
After 300 years the empire started to grow weak, in the late years of the Imperial Era the Tellic met with the Parric people in what would be today the Southrealm. The empire easily conquered half of the Parric settlement before stopping, it was stretched too thin. The empire imported slaves taken from the Southrealm to the Eastrealm and Middlelands.When the empire finally fell the large population of slave and tellic native started to mingle and share ideas.

Post-Contact Tellic took some traits from the Parric culture. The population who mingled with the Parric started to value freedom more closely sometime at the expense of family and duty. Many tellic also started to studies, more men and women became scholars instead of soldiers and wives. Post-Contact Tellic Culture now make up the cultural roots of Middlelanders.
