Ethnic Sub-Groups

There are two known subgroups of Qulani, separated by the geographic regions they call home.

Darlom Qulani

The majority of the Qulani populace of Entorais resides throughout the length of the Darlom Mountains.
Distinctive Features
Darlom Qulani are the majority and match the above physical description.
Geographic Distribution
Darlom Mountains, and some non-mountain communities throughout Kythus and Corinthea.

Sildar Qulani

A splinter group of Qulani whom migrated eastward across Anexea to settle in the Sildar Mountains.
Distinctive Features
Pallid, but slightly pink complexion. The Sildar Qulani have a much smaller stature being 30-45 centimetres (12-18 inches) shorter on average.
Geographic Distribution
The Sildar Mountains in the North-East portion of Anexea. A small community of these people live in the Isk Archipelago, on Ra Hiem beneath Shar Bol in particular.
