Well, the Ajuk live on an island some good distance south of Iceland, I figure. They originally lived in Europe, before the Indo-Europeans showed up, and somehow ended up on their island. They still practice their pagan religion, which I haven't worked out in any great detail. However, in the modern era, Christian missionaries came on the scene, and there have been converts. I've just begun to sketch out their religion, I'll post more to here (or more properly, probably to Conculture) once I've got enough to make it worth while. -- Robert
