About

Treahni are descendant from humans, and still retain the basic appearance. They have the most diverse ethnic groupings of any sapient species of Entorais. They spread out from two distinct geographic centres, and are considered separate families. The Arkian Peoples spread outward from central northern Annexa, and the Imperials who spread outward from what is now coastal Waejir.

Ethnic Sub-Groups

There are fifteen major ethnic sub-groups which trace their origins to either Arkian, or Imperial ancestors.
