History
Subspecies
Melishtazuz
The most populous of all the Arterian peoples, the Melishtazuz were a people that only left the ancestral mountains at around 2500 BSC. They formed major empires over the years and by the start of the Standard Counting were the most populous subspecies by a large margin.Fjûrûn
The least populous of all the Arterian peoples, the Fjûrûn are a people that find their origins after the early migrations of the 20th millenium BSC. Settling originaly in the Ûran Massive, their surroundings moulded them into a strong people, characterised by broad shoulders yet a small stature of only 5 feet on average for the males and 4 for females.Aruli
The earliest to migrate outward, the Aruli were estimated to have left the primordial valleys as early as the 70th millenium BSC. Settling mostly along tropical coastlands and islands across the world, the subspecies were characterised by a small stature, similar to the Fjûrun, as well as a resistance to various pathogens and infections harmful to other subspecies. This would lead to their living conditions being generally more unhygienic than of others as battling squalor was less of an priority for the Aruli.Ethnicities
