The peasantry were slaves to their feudal masters who were often abusive and always scheming. Life was hard, the climate and geography were not condusive to good living and so the people wewre use to death.Portray that and I think you have a good campaign start in addition remember that the natural isolation of the area with its huge wilderness and rugged terrain meant that people were suspicious of newcomers (like PCs) and strangers NOT welcome. In the villages any corruption or vice could go unnoticed and unchecked for generations until exposed (as a plot hook - say like Elisabeth Bathory of Transylvania)</blockquote>
