Antiochians

The folk of the Antioch City-States are known as Antiochians. Mainly descended from Ashurian stock, some people also have Hyperborean heritage from the years of empire. They share a common language, though each city-state tends to have a separate dialect that is an amalgam of Old Boros and Semuric.
Most Antiochians have light tan or pale olive skin, however, instead of the darker complexions typical of Ashurians. Eye colors tend toward brown and hazel, though some, particularly those with lighter skin tones, may have green or deep blue eyes. Hair color is typically brown or auburn. Among the Antiochians, skin color is not considered important, though lighter tones tend to brand one as “city folk” in most rural areas. They tend to be taller than average but with slender builds.
Though most Antiochans are in their city-states, they can be found in many trading cities throughout Libynos, and even in major ports on Akados.
