Oceander

Not truly an ethnicity in its own right, in recent years it has become more and more common for citizens of Pontos Island to be considered a distinct group racially. In truth, they are simply another of the vast number of peoples melted together into the amalgamation of folk known as the Foerdewaith, but their success in remaining a rival empire for the last 300 years has caused their claims of racial distinction to gain some traction. With Bard’s Gate’s position of being independent and outside the claimed boundaries of the Kingdoms of Foere, it has enjoyed the ability to trade with the Empire of Oceanus while most ports of the Sinnar Coast remained closed to its ships. In fact, it was the spirit of amiability early on that allowed Bard’s Gate to successfully establish and expand its reach into the sea trade of the Gulf of Akados.
Oceanders look much like other Foerdewaith, with perhaps their skin slightly more sun-darkened by years spent at sea and eyes a bit more creased from squinting against the glare off the waves. They tend towards shorter hair and fewer beards than their land-bound cousins, though this is by no means universal among them.
