Trivia
Vintish people are stereotypically extremely superstitious of anything remotely magical. Their legends include stories of monsters such as barrow draugar[1] and sendings[2]; and they do not trust engineering using sympathy and sygaldry. However, they believe in non-scientific magic, such as turagiors, people who claim to be able to tell your future from your face[3].
Vintish people also have an ancient tradition of giving each other rings to symbolize status and feelings for each other.
