The people of Y'Nor are traditionally nomadic, following their great herds of horses and cattle across the plains on a seasonal basis.  Y'Norans do not recognize titles as others of Y'Myran might.  Instead of kings and princes, Y'Norans have clan chiefs, and of those, one is chosen to be the representative to the High King.  This person is known as the High Chieftain.  Y'Norans are excellent horsemen.  The Firstlanders brought horses to Y'Myran, but it was Prince Ynnyth Whiteeagle who led them to the plains.  There, they discovered an indigenous animal that was so like the horse that they were able to interbreed the two animals, creating the hearty, intelligent breed of horses now common to Y'Nor.  Y"Noran mounts are highly prized, and can be worth their weight in gold.  

Humans are not the first nomads to call the plains home.  Strange cairns bearing a language no one knows dot the landscape of Y'Nor.  The elves, with their long memories and thousands of years of history, can only point to their earliest records and say that they were simply known as "the people".  Where they went, or what they looked like, no one can say.  Y'Norans regard these remants of "the people" as semi-holy, and consider "the people" their cousin-ancestors.  Because of this, they do not speak of them much to outsiders, as this had led to looters seeking treasure and artifacts.  

Because Y'Nor did not border the crest of Amyra, they did not suffer the depredations of the rimerbeasts (online: ice demons) as much as the northern kingdoms.  To stave off any animus between north an south, many cheiftains sent warriors and horses to aid their northern cousins.
