So I remember that I used to be very interested on the Wends/Sorbs/whatever, those Slavic fellows in modern-day northern Germany.

However, it's been a while, and from what I can remember, there wasn't much info on them anyways. I know that there's a few notable Wend noble families, and that they technically still exist as a culture, but not much else.

In any case, I'd like anyone who knows about them to give me some details on them: I'll put what I want to know in bullet points for ease of answering.

-Wendish culture: Their language, pagan-to-Christian religious quirks, how they saw themselves, and if possible, some of their laws and ways of life. What were the major tribes of the Wends?

-Wend interaction: How did they interact with their various neighbors? How did they treat warfare and how did they wage it? How did they treat religious authorities, pagan or Christian?

-Notable Wends: Who were the most famous and interesting Wends? What did they do? All I know is a few sparse Wikipedia articles on the "Nakonids", one of the stronger families.

-PoDs: What are good points of divergence for a timeline based on the Wends? How can they become more successful, and if possible, become/stay united as a culture and nation?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
