The Avvar barbarians have dwelled in the Frostback Mountains for thousands of years, a unique people that have held to their ancient traditions for millenia...
Huh, interesting. That's the first time I heard the interpretation that Aval'var was the name of Tyrdda's daughter, not the leaf-eared lover. But after looking at that part again, I agree it is somewhat ambiguous which one is meant. And it would make sense for the Avvar to be named after their first Frostback-born chieftain.
