A bit more information people might want; I will be updating the Allegiances as the story progresses. This means that there MIGHT be spoilers in there, but really it just helps to keep people aware of what's going on in the Northbound world.

Some more Northbound terms.

Olma - Grandmother.

Olda - Grandfather.

Yodo - Granddaughter

Yoson - Grandson.

Whenever the text refers to 'skirts', think of them as pretty much wrap-around skirts or loincloths. Both male and female children wear skirts, but as the females mature they wear tunics or dresses. 'Dresses' are basically bits of fur draped across someone with holes cut for arms and head. 'Tunics' are similar, but shorter and belted around the middle with leather or grassweave. In winter most people will wear 'cloaks' - a long piece of fur which fastens around your neck and covers your back and the backs of your legs - or 'coats', fur with large sleeves and sometimes a hood which fastens at the front with bone hooks. There isn't really any need for shorts or shirts, which are too hard to make anyway. It goes without saying that underwear is pretty much non-existant.
