The Akrynnai were a people from the eastern part of the continent of Lether. They occupied the lands of Ak'ryn between the D'rhasilhani and the Awl. Over the years, they had successfully fought off invasions by the Letherii, Awl and D'rhasilhani. They were mainly considered to be merchants, though Tanakalian described them as "spike-haired, endlessly singing, spear-waving barbarians".
