*Faal | *Faal | ||
Faal is the collective term for the racial group of native peoples inhabiting Dantehvon, Evieteria, and The Montreks, though they are also the majority in Illessan, Karia, and Harquon, though these were former colonies of Dantehvian Empires. The Faal are the most divided in the way they organize themselves, though there is relatively little animosity between the individual groups of Dantehvon and Evieteria, an intense rivalry remains between the two regions. The people of the Montreks, descendants from the earliest Faal colonists in pre-historic times, and were often seen as 'lesser' by both their genetic cousins in Dantehvon and the native peoples of Callodo. They are a very divided people who have been trampled upon by multiple empires and there is a long history of ethnic conflict with strong religious connotations between the Montrek Peoples. | Faal is the collective term for the racial group of native peoples inhabiting Dantehvon, Evieteria, and The Montreks, though they are also the majority in Illessan, Karia, and Harquon, though these were former colonies of Dantehvian Empires.

The Faal have a wide range of light skin colors though most are some degree of tan, with pale skin being a rarity and only occurring in great numbers in northern Dantehvon. Their tan skin and light hair are what separate them physically from the peoples Rheldon and the northern desert peoples of Rheghenda. | |||
*Call | |||
The Peoples inhabiting the northern reaches of Callodo, the Call have chalk white skin, platinum white hair and narrow eyes, all adaptations to survive in their native environment that stretches from northern tundra, to verdant vales, and reaches into the arid costal plains west of the Montreks. The Call to the north have always been historically divided by either geography or minor tribal disagreements before coming together to form a vast Empire in northern Callodo. This Empire was the largest the Mathenites have ever seen, but it was also among the shortest since its success really rested on the shoulders of one man, Emperor Glaxius, a great tactical genius and worshiped as a God-King by some of the less-organized elements of the Call religion. The Empire collapsed shortly after his death, but the Empire in northern Callodo would survive and remain one of the most stable states in Mathenite history, if heavily divided by tribal distinctions. | |||
The Call inhabiting the south of Callodo, either in the Northern Montreks or the lands on the costal plains to the west of that, are ethnically different than their northern neighbors and have many cultural differences. The Southern Call are mariners and farmers both, and while this is characteristic of their northern cousins, the southern Call are far more organized and sophisticated, carving out small, but stable nations that have endured many centuries of peace and prosperity. The Southern Call also have some minor but widespread interbreeding with the Faal, and combined with their warmer climate, are usually a bit tanner than the northerners and their white hair as a slight gold tint to it. | |||
