Kustlanders

Kustlanders
The Kustlanders are a seafaring civilization based in the Kustlanden (or Coastlands). Their territory consists primarily of the small island upon which their capital, Endhaven, is situated. Although their area is limited to this island, the term "Coastlands" reflects their coastal heritage and maritime culture. They are one of the six constituent nations of the Foederatio of Centum.
Territory
The Kustlander ethnopolis and capital city, Endhaven, is known locally as Uithoek. This name, meaning "Outer Corner" or "Outlook," reflects its position jutting out from Tenuvian territory. Endhaven is a walled seaport featuring the Thinlands' only major shipbuilding facilities.
The Kustlanden is the official name of their territory, but it is geographically confined to the island on which Endhaven is located. To the north is the Dry Oak Forest under Tenuvian administration and to the south is the Southern Sea. Historically, the island of Pepetela was administered by the Kustlanders as well, before it was sold to the Londrians after the Maalstroom.

Language
The language spoken by the Kustlanders is called Kustlandic. In Bloatcraft it is represented via the Dutch language or by English words that have been comically misspelled.

Behind the Scenes (add this to the Endhaven page)
The name Endhaven derives from the fact that, during the early Bloatcraft development period, at the location of Endhaven was a naturally spawning plains village above an End Stronghold.
Prior to the Great Renaming the Kustlanders were referred to as the Zeepeeple, which was supposed to be a play on the Bronze-Age “Sea Peoples” (taking the Dutch word zee for “sea”). However, it sounded stupid.
