Remnant

"We are not misplaced. We stayed here because we built our homes here and didn't want to leave them behind."
Remnant describing his people

When the Keratos Empire retreated from their conquered lands in the final years of the Eternal Conquest, not all of their citizens followed along. A good number of Imperials stayed behind in the reclaimed cities or settling in small strongholds in the hopes of mirroring the powerful city-states of the Verdant Steppes one day. They are not exactly part of the Empire but do not belong to the lands that tolerate them either. Remnants kept the honesty that came to define their parent culture, and try to stay out of conflicts with the realms that may consider them trespassers. They are a strong culture that could be said to bid their time. As for what they wait for, it is unsure even they know the answer.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Common Imperial remains the common language of all Remnant groups no matter the distance from their homeland.

Shared customary codes and values

"If you ask a Remnant if he's Imperial he'll say he doesn't know. But he's either a liar or a moron because he's got horns on his head, blood on his hands, and he answered you in Common."
Caravan Guard explaining what a Remnant is.

There are many differences in lifestyle between Remnant and their city-bound cousins. Remnant do not own slaves, probably because of the impossibility for small numbers of citizens to keep slaves in tow. There are no political agendas or unifying doctrines, each Remnant clan has its own rules and modes of defense.

Common Dress code

After inhabiting new lands of varied climates and with better access to fabrics, Remnants have integrated the dressing codes of their surroundings. In the western regions, the women wear linen trousers and short-sleeved shirts while the males use long tunics almost identical to Imperial norms but they add stocking to their legs and wear pattens instead of tall sandals. In the east, near the Van Republic and Midland, the dress code is even more diversified.

Art & Architecture

Keeping in line with Imperial engineering, th. The only great differences in Remnant architecture is the lesser amount of artistic details. There are fewer statues and no fancy design at the top of columns in the bigger structures.
