The Seruic

The people of Serukis

MASSIVE WORK IN PROCESS, OBVIOUSLY

The Seruic are the dominant ethnicity in the country of Serukis. They share common ancestry with the Kaienese, as the first Seruic people emigrated from Kaien just over a thousand years ago. Although the Seruic could be divided into several subcultures, the broad strokes of Seruic culture are shared across the country.
Some - notably Kaienese - scholars argue that, if anything, the Seruic should be considered to be a sub-ethnicity of the Kaienese. Others, however, argue that enough time has passed and enough cultural change has occurred to consider them to be entirely separate peoples.

Appearance

The Seruic are a pale-skinned people, though not prone to freckles. Predominantly, they are dark-haired, with shades varying from black to dark brown. Redheaded people make up about five percent of the population, with blond individuals representing less than one percent. The most common eye colour is blue, particularly dark blue, though brown and grey are not terribly uncommon. The rarest eye colours are green and amber.

Jewellery

Jewellery is made with precious metals, such as silver and gold, and the majority are set with Seruic sapphires. These sapphires are famous across Etrea for their beauty and the clarity of their colour, and blue ones are highly sought after across the world. Other colours, such as yellow and pink, are much more rare. Due to the heavy restrictions on trading these rare-coloured sapphires outside of the country, to own one of these pieces of jewellery as a foreigner is quite the status symbol.
