In our world the Chereks would be considered to be a Viking culture. They live farther north than any other Alorn (and indeed, farther north than any other race at all). Their primary skills lay in the realm of combat, the making of ale, and the building of sea-going vessels. The Chereks are a large race, averaging just over 6' in height and in excess of 200 pounds weight for a male, all muscle.
