### Aktí Anthropoi (Coast Folk)

Aktí Anthropoi (also called Coast Folk) are a small minority primarily residing in Cote d'Or and Winlans.

Over time, Coast Folk have virtually disappeared, although large numbers have continued to survive through the coast. Aktí Anthropoi resemble Mestizo people, due to the fact that seafaring Inuits and Norse people had assimilated with one another.

### Chalomós (Pales)

Chalomós people (also called the Pales) are people who reside by the west coast of North America. The term Chalomós people came from the Greek word for "Pale", due to the fact their skin was paler than the skin of Native people there. Chalomós people live in Cascadia and Sonoma, and resemble Californian caucasian people.

### Monticola (Mountain people, Alpine people)

Monticola people (also called Mountain people) are the immigrants from the Alpine Empire who have become permanent refugees of Aurum-Chrysos. Even though Monticola people are in the process of assimilating with local ethnicities, many Monticola still view themselves as their native Alpine self and live in mountainous lands, specifically Sierra. Monticola people resemble Swiss people.
