	The Steinr are one of the three traditions of Wintermark. According to the scops, they fell from the sky in a shower of falling stars and have meteoric iron in their blood. Regardless of the truth of this claim, they seemingly appeared from nowhere and joined the [[Suaq]] and the [[Kallavesi]] to [[Wintermark History#The Troll Wars\|defeat the trolls]] and claim the rich [[territory]] of [[Hahnmark]] as their homeland.

Strong warriors like [[Inga Tarn]] and [[Emperor Guntherm]] exemplify this archetype, but they represent only a part of what heroism means to the Steinr.
