Oceanders

Though not an ethnicity in its own right, in recent years it has become more common for citizens of Pontos Island to be considered a distinct group. In truth, they are simply another of the vast number of peoples melded together into the amalgamation of folk known as the Foerdewaith, but their success in remaining a rival empire for the last 300 years has caused their claims of racial distinction to gain some traction.
Oceanders look much like other Foerdewaith, with perhaps their skin slightly more sun-darkened by years spent at sea and eyes a bit more creased from squinting against the glare off the waves. They tend toward shorter hair and fewer beards than their land-bound cousins, though this is by no means universal among them.
