Descended from refugees of the homeland that is now the Sea of Dust, the Suel are a fair-skinned folk. Most Suel have merged with Oerdian and Flan to form a mixed population in the central Flaness; the groups that remain culturally Suel have done so because of isolation and xenophobia.

==== Real-World Models ====
Scandinavian, British, Finn (appearance), Roman (culture).

==== Cultural Traits ====
The Suel are a race of contrasts, and their traits can manifest in very different ways, often in pairs of virtues and vices. Suel tend to go to extremes in alignment.

Thrifty/Selfish, Disciplined/Domineering, Honest/Blunt, Self-assured/Opinionated, Ambitious/Proud.

==== Practices ====
Birth control (often post-natal), Monogamy.

==== Taboos ====
Females breeding outside race, Incest.

==== Marriage ====
Conventional. Men can have children out of wedlock, women cannot. Decent is traced through the same gender, females having matrilinear descent, males patrilinear descent, leading to incredibly complex family trees. This is further complicated by strict rules against incest of second cousins, which means familiy trees are very important. The nuclear family is very strong, the extended family too complex and interwoven to function.
