Tyrennian
Tyrennians are the dominant ethnic group along the northern coast of the Sea of Riches, particularly prevalent in its various city-states and the Republic of Caspia. Known for their industrious nature and refined culture, the Tyrennians have built a reputation as master traders, artisans, and diplomats. Tyrennians typically have olive-toned skin, dark brown or black hair, and eyes that range from hazel to green or brown, with a natural elegance in their bearing.
Tyrennians take pride in their heritage of exploration, commerce, and artistic achievement. They are equally renowned for their innovative spirit and a keen sense of aesthetics, often borrowing from their Edessan elven neighbors in matters of fashion, architecture, and culinary mastery. Family and community play a central role in Tyrennian society, with large extended families maintaining strong ties to their local ports and trade hubs.
