Caspian
The most numerous people of western Immoren are the Caspians and Sulese, native to the southern region that has been home to their ancestors since the founding of ancient Calacia. The distinction between the two is very recent but very important to both. Those descended of the ancient Caspians and living west of the Black River in Cygnar refer to themselves by the old name of “Caspians.” People of the same ancestry east of the Black River in the Protectorate of Menoth refer to themselves as Sulese to honor Hierarch Sulon, who initiated the Cygnaran Civil War and who is the namesake of the city of Sul, which was once eastern Caspia. While this may seem a matter of semantics, in can be argued that in the century since that war the Sulese have established a distinct culture, largely due to their intense religious beliefs. Both groups share common traits, although the populations that melded into this region were diverse enough that there is a tremendous variance. Many Caspians tend to have cream-colored complexions and lighter hair, while others are darker hued and have black hair.
