Lots of Hsunchen in Fronela, but I think the former occupants (or their

The Norse types seem to have been associated at least in part with
former culture, at any rate) of Charg and Jonatela were authenticly
"barbarian", though I agree, likely to be lots and lots different from
the "norm". Non-Heortling almost certainly, perhaps non-Vingkotling
too. Don't know of "intact" examples of any barbarian culture there.
Freyja, if I recall my (strictly Pop) knowledge of Norse myth correctly.
(And with Odin too, I think.) The goddess of Sex and Death, and
Pendragon puts it in endearingly tabloid fashion. ;-) I can't think of
a close analogue in Glorantha, at least not an "Orlanthi" one.
