Minari

Disambiguation: "minarran" refers to the citizens of Minarra.
The Minari, also known as Westerlings, are the humans that populate the confederation of Isatia and the empire of Minarra. They are the descendants of ancient tyrians that once sailed across the Western Ocean from the lands of Egea to settle newfound and bountiful island continents, mixing with the indigenous nomads of The West over the centuries after their arriva.
Nowadays the Men of the West are a divided race. The peoples of Minarra and Isatia have been at odds for long decades now, and the national animosity between them has seeped into their cultures and racial memory. Indeed, the term "Men of the West" was coined by the people of Isatia who wish to distance themselves socially and culturally from the hated neighbor of Minarra. Isatians have even adopted different naming conventions, while the minarrans stick to their traditional names from old Tyria.
The minari are tall and lithe humans of fair or brown skin and dark hair.
