Races

The basic Races of the world define the ethnic background of its people. Generally, race matters in the world, as it controls where, and who the character has access to. Often, characters are biased against other races, and supportive of similar or geographically close races. Most races, especially those in Europa, existed before the Auterium Empire, and define themselves by how they interacted with the Auterium Conquerors

Romantics
The Romantics were the Western and central tribes that lived in a society that worshiped the Seasonal Gods. Auterium conquered them in several assimilation wars, and brought Solarism to them. Most of the Kingdoms established afterwards upheld their Solarism tradition, with a minority of people still worshiping the Old Gods. During the Grent Reformation, a Most Romantics converted to the new religion, but Solarism is still alive and well.

Cantonese
The Cantonese people were the protectors of the northern Europan Islands. They have a large amount of Narthen Blood, from centuries of mixed breeding, however they have held the Islands and most of the shore of the mainland against the Narthen invaders since the beginning of recorded history. Before the invasion they lived in small isolated tribes and villages, mostly worshiping the Fall God. They proved easy to conquer by the Auterium Empire, and were integrated relatively swiftly. After the fall they broke out under the banner of Grenvil. During the Grenvil Revolution, they mostly provided food rather than soldiers.

Arenex
The Arenex people settled in the heartlands of Europa. They have a mix of many eastern features tempered by northern heritage. Before the invasion by Auterium, the Arenex people lived in small city-states, constantly fighting each other. They had a very complex Arena system which their culture revolved around. They had a refined military law, adopting the Summer God, and held out against the Auterium invasion for nearly a century before uniting briefly with each other, then capitulating. During the occupation, they supplied the Auterium with many soldiers and slaves. After the Fall of the Empire, they fell under the banner of Grenvil. During the Grenvil Revolution, they provided most of the rebel soldiers, leading to animosity that remains to this day. They formed several minor kingdoms and eventually united through a series of wars and hard politics.

Before the invasion by Auterium, the Grenvil people lived in small semi-nomadic bands, almost exclusively on horseback. During the invasion they were renown for trying to avoid the invaders until they were driven into the sea. Afterwards, they spread out and using their Calvary, conquered virtually all of the Romantics. During the Grenvil Rebellion, they were confined to their ancestral homelands, the plains of Grenvil.
