Human

Nobody knows where humans came from. They appeared in the Archipelago about two thousand years ago, but no written documents exist from that time.

Ethnic groups

 * Pelagonic: The most common ethnic group of the Archipelago primarily found in the South and the East, on the islands of Pelagonia, Taurica and Moesia, but also present in Provancia and Armorica. They have olive to dark brown skin and brown or black, curly hair. There are marine tribes living by the coasts as well as inland tribes, as well as numerous city-states.
 * Iberian: Mostly found in the Western part of the Shallow Seas, on the islands of Iberia and Pyrenia. Are shorter (below 6 ft) and have darker skin than Pelagonics. Again, there are marine tribes, inland tribes and city-states. The bulk of the Campanian Empire's citizens belong to this ethnic group.
 * Rhenian: Native to the Northern part of the Shallow Seas, on the islands of Rhenia-Bohemia and Ukraina-Voronezh. They usually have olive skin and black, wavy or curly hair.
 * Baltec: Natives of the continent of Baltica. Typically short and stocky, seldom standing over 5’8’’, they have tan or olive skin and typically smooth, black hair.
 * Kemish: Natives of the continent of Kem Kem. Tall people, often over 6 feet, with dark brown or black skin. Their hair is curly. Men often grow thick facial hair.
 * Nightfolk: An elusive, isolated tribe of the Pontides mountains that does not interact with the other civilizations. They have pale skin and reddish hair.
