Phenotypes

*Only Human phenotypes are included here.*

The continent of Inecuria has a wide variety of races and intelligent species in a relatively small space, almost certainly due to magical interference. Despite this - or, more likely, because of it - most civilisations of the continent have always strongly associated their racial characteristics with their cultural identity, imposing social and sometimes legal rules to prohibit the mixing of races.

Unlike the modern, broad conception of racial identity often found in the western world (and particularly the USA), the Inecurians have no conception of a broad common identity based on shared racial characteristics - for example, they do not recognise racial identities such as "white", instead focussing on far more narrow definitions which are inseparably tied to cultural (and often linguistic) heritage.

For example, the Nesarians, the Roulonnaise and the Raskevites of southern Asmocaria could all be classified under the broad term "white" by westerners - and indeed, having "white" features is seen by these people as a marker of whether or not they are a real native - but these groups do not see each other as similar just because they share white features; each believes itself to have far more in common with non-white or even non-Human populations that they share a culture with. For example, the Nesarians see themselves as closer to the Elves than the other "white" Humans, the Roulonnaise align more with Black Elves and Vampires, and the Raskevites have far more in common with the other members of the Asmocarian cultural group, which a westerner would struggle to classify as "white".

Although mixed populations are now somewhat common with the relaxing of social restrictions and abandonment of legal ones, the following phenotypes are still clearly identifiable in modern times.

## Nesarian

### Nesarelvic

The Nesarelvic phenotype (a portmanteau of "Nesarian Elvic") is essentially identical to the North Atlantid phenotype, shown in the pictures, though they typically have much lighter hair.

Nesarelvics have pale, sometimes slightly ruddy skin, with straight or wavy hair which can come in many variations of brown, black, blond or red. They have light eyes, typically grey to blue but rarely green. They have prominent, long and often concave noses, with narrow, sloping foreheads and skulls of medium proportions. They are tall and ectomorphic (more lean), though variants that mixed with Natives lean towards mesomorphy (more muscular).

The name Nesarelvic is somewhat misleading, as the Nesarelvics are not defined by Elvish ancestry; instead the name relates to the fact that this phenotype appears in the regions of Nesaria which are the most heavily Elvicised and adopted Elvic civilisation first. They are found throughout the Lowerlands, Ascaria and most of Cafania.

### Native

The Native phenotype is essentially identical to the Trønder phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Natives have pale (or "rosy-white") skin, with straight or wavy hair which is typically golden-blond but may also be red or light brown. They have light eyes, typically more greyish than those of the Nesarelvics. They have long noses and faces with high skulls and sturdy chins. They are tall and ectomorphic (more lean) to mesomorphic (more muscular). They tend to have stronger body and facial hair than Nesarelvics.

Like with the Nesarelvics, the name Native is somewhat misleading, as the usage of this term implies that other Nesarian populations are non-native, which is untrue. The name relates to the fact that this phenotype appears in the regions of Nesaria which were Elvicised the latest and are generally considered to have retained more traits of their native pre-Elvic cultures. They are found throughout Cortath and Infria and are found alongside (and often mixed with) Nesarelvics in Cafania.

## Asmocarian

The steppes of Asmocaria and Rulcaria hold many distinct phenotypes, which generally kept to themselves for most of the country's history but began to mingle on an unprecedented scale with the Industrial Revolution which brought large-scale urbanisation to the steppe of Asmocaria. Though the phenotypes are often mixed and hard to identify within the cities, which received migration from all over the steppe, they are still clearly identifiable in more rural regions.

Although the exact details are contested, it is generally agreed upon that the Steppefolk were the progenitors of the Asmocarian nation, rapidly migrating and spreading across Rulkhar and the vast steppe of Asmukhar during the conquests of the Kumukh Handughy, mixing with local populations to create new phenotypes. Despite being the "original source", as it were, the Steppefolk have always been the numerical minority amongst the Asmocarians by a significant margin.

### Rulcarian

Rulcarians (or Rulkharegul in their own language) are essentially identical to the East Pamirid phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Rulcarians have light brown to brown skin and straight or wavy black or dark brown hair, with brown eyes. They have high and broad skulls, and prominent, occasionally hooked noses. They are generally ectomorphic (more lean) and are of medium height.

Rulcarians are found in the coastal regions of Asagaan and Rulmaran in Rulkhar - that is, everywhere except the interior steppe. Rulcarians have significant variation in skin colour, with a Mediterranean-like complexion in the south and a darker Arabian-like complexion in the far north. In the inner region of Asagaan - that is, the areas furthest from the coast - they coexist with the Kahenians.

### Steppefolk

The Steppefolk are very similar to the Sibirid phenotype, shown in the pictures, though with somewhat less reddish and more brownish, slightly yellowish skin.

Steppefolk have light brown, somewhat reddish skin and straight light brown to black hair. They mostly have brown eyes, but can also be seen with grey eyes. They have angular faces, prominent cheekbones and moderate mongoloid folds. They are mostly endomorphic (more stocky) and are of medium height.

Steppefolk are found in the interior steppeland of Rulkhar. Although the exact population group that the Kumukh Handughy himself came from is disputed - some claim that he belonged to the group known as the Kahenians - the majority of his followers were indisputably from this population group, and it is this group which spread out across the steppe and left its genetic legacy in almost every other population found in the steppe today.

### Kahenian

Kahenians (or Kahenegul) are very similar to the Yenisey phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Kahenians have light brown, very slightly yellowish skin and straight black or brown hair. They tend to mostly have slanting brown eyes, but rarely have grey or blue eyes. They have medium-proportioned skulls with long and often hooked high noses. They tend to have strong body and facial hair. They are generally mesomorphic (more muscular) and are of medium height.

Kahenians live in the far east and north of Muralkhai, around the area of Kahen Forest, near the border with Kimato in Onshitama. Kahenians can also be found in the interior of Asagaan, making up a slim majority and coexisting with the Rulcarian group. This population group is a likely candidate for the origin of the Kumukh Handughy, but would have been only a minority of his followers.

### Gahaanian

Gahaanians (or Gahaanegul) are very similar to the Uralid phenotype, shown in the pictures, though they tend to have lighter eyes.

Gahaanians have light brown skin and straight or wavy black, brown or reddish-brown hair. They generally have light brown eyes, but are also found with blue and grey eyes. They tend to have low, flat skulls with moderately prominent noses, which tend to be plump in women, and prominent cheekbones and eye folds. They are generally ectomorphic (more lean) to mesomorphic (more muscular) and are of medium to tall height.

Gahaanians are named after the major tribe of Gahaan which they are most commonly found amongst, which occupies most of eastern Muralkhai, particularly the south towards the traditional border with Kamar. They are often found mixed with Kahenians near where the two populations meet.

### Baratsaian

Baratsaians (or Baratsainegul) are very similar to the Volgid phenotype, shown in the pictures, although their eyes are typically slightly closer together than shown here.

Baratsaians have fair skin and straight, sometimes wavy black or brown hair. They have fairly tall and narrow heads, fairly long and plump noses, and brown (rarely blue) eyes with mongoloid features. They are generally endomorphic (more stocky) to mesomorphic (more muscular) and are of medium height.

Baratsaians are named after the major tribe of Baratsai which they are most commonly found amongst. This tribe is the most widespread of all tribes, occupying almost all of western and north-western Muralkhai, spreading down into Kamar towards the border with Avamorica. There is also a significant splinter population in the east of Kamar, which often displays admixture with the local Kachakians and Raskevites. This splinter group is where Empress Avemiri hailed from, though she was known to have notable Kachakian and/or Raskevite ancestry. The lightness of their skin tends to vary geographically, with northern populations displaying darker skin than southern ones - a feature which is genetic rather than simply resulting from a tan.

### Maikharian

Maikharians (or Maikharegul) are very similar to the Alföld phenotype, shown in the pictures, though they tend to have lighter eyes.

Maikharians have fair, slightly brownish and very slightly reddish skin with straight black or brown hair. They generally have light brown eyes, but are also found with blue and grey mildly slanting eyes. They tend to have short but large and angular skulls and medium-sized straight noses. They do not lean towards any particular body type and are of medium height.

Maikharians are named after the major tribe of Maikhar which they are most commonly found amongst. This tribe is almost exactly split in half by the border between Kamar and Muralkhai, occupying central-northern Kamar and central-southern Muralkhai. Pockets of their population can also be found throughout western Muralkhai.

### Kachakian

Kachakians (or Kachakegul) are very similar to the North Lappid phenotype, shown in the pictures, except they typically have lighter hair and eyes.

Kachakians have light brown, sometimes lightening to fair skin with straight light brown, dirty blond or reddish-brown hair. They most commonly have dull blue eyes, but may also have grey eyes. They tend to have short skulls and moderately-sized concave noses, with fairly sturdy chins. They are generally endomorphic (more stocky) and are of medium height.

Kachakians are named after the major tribe of Kachak which they are most commonly found amongst, though they can also be found in several other major tribes. Their population inhabits the majority of Kamar - essentially everywhere north of Raskev that is not occupied by Baratsaians or Maikharians.

### Eastern Raskevite

Eastern Raskevites are essentially identical to the Ladogan phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Eastern Raskevites have pale to fair skin and straight to wavy light brown, blond, reddish-brown or strongly red hair. They have light and colourful eyes - predominantly blue and green, though they also have the highest incidence of amber eyes in the world at approximately 8-10% of the population. They have moderately-sized skulls with low, wide faces and straight, often concave round-tipped noses. They are of medium to tall height, and do not lean towards any particular body type.

Eastern Raskevites live in the eastern third of the southern marshes of Asmocaria, in the land once called Raskev, in the far south of Kamar. Before the population exchange which created the country of Cisenila as it is now known, they also populated that land as well. It is generally agreed upon amongst academics that the Eastern Raskevites are the product of mixing between the Kachakians and the population known as the Western Raskevites, or a population closely related to them.

### Western Raskevite

Western Raskevites are very similar to the Pre Slavic phenotype, shown in the pictures, except they typically have lighter hair and eyes.

Western Raskevites have pale to fair skin and straight to wavy light brown to dirty blond hair. They have light and colourful eyes - predominantly blue and green, though they also have an abnormally high occurrence of amber eyes at approximately 4-5% of the population. They are mildly high-skulled, with low, wide faces and straight, sometimes concave noses. They are of medium to tall height, and are generally ectomorphic (more lean) to mesomorphic (more muscular).

Western Raskevites live generally in the western two-thirds of the southern marshes of Asmocaria, in the land once called Raskev, in the far south of Kamar. Based on physical identification, and more recently genetic testing, it can be safely assumed that they have negligible shared ancestry with the Asmocarian invaders.

## Southerners

The two southern nations of Avamorica and Epsilucia are grouped together, as their native populations share a common ethno-linguistic heritage and genetic testing has shown them to be closely related, confirming that they originally came from the same population group. Whereas Avamorica generally has a consistent phenotype across the country, due to its flat terrain and the ease of communities mixing and standardising their phenotype, the more mountainous terrain of Epsilucia made communities isolated from one another and led to the development of several distinct phenotypes.

### Avamorican

The Avamoricans are essentially identical to the Anglo-Saxon phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Avamoricans have pale skin and wavy to curly hair, often blond but sometimes red or light brown. They are commonly seen with blue to grey eyes, but also have a high occurrence of light brown eyes. They have long and straight noses, medium-sized skulls and somewhat narrow faces with prominent cheekbones. They are of medium to tall height and are generally endomorphic (more stocky) to mesomorphic (more muscular).

Avamoricans tend to have slightly darker skin in the north, but their skin is still very much pale. The Avamorican phenotype can also occasionally be found spilling over into the border with Asmocaria in the region of Kamar.

### Central-Southern Epsilucian

The Central-Southern Epsilucians - or simply CSEs - are essentially identical to the Aisto Nordid phenotype, shown in the pictures.

CSEs have pale skin and straight hair, usually golden blond to light brown, rarely with a reddish tint. They have light eyes, typically blue but sometimes green. They have somewhat higher and larger skulls than most Southern phenotypes, with prominent long and straight noses and sturdy chins. They are tall and ectomorphic (more lean) to mesomorphic (more muscular).

CSEs are the most numerous of the Epsilucians, found in the regions of Arisa, Hökelen and Dafelia (also known as Sekkuman). They make up the bulk of the population in the capital city of Mikelatti, and they have migrated in small but notable numbers to other major cities across the country.

### Kuuskamian

Kuuskamians are essentially identical to the Proto Nordid phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Kuuskamians have pale skin and straight to wavy dark blond to light brown, sometimes reddish hair. They have light eyes, typically grey to blue but rarely also green. They are moderately high-skulled, with long faces and prominent, occasionally convex noses, with a deep mandible and marked chin. They are tall and ectomorphic (more lean) to mesomorphic (more muscular).

Kuuskamians are found almost exclusively in the region of Kuuskami in the north-west of Epsilucia. Their phenotype is rarely found outside of this region, only appearing in any significant numbers in the far west of Rovahatti where it borders Kuuskami.

### Rovahattian

Rovahattians are essentially identical to the Fenno Nordid phenotype, shown in the pictures, though they tend to have slightly more marked (i.e. less soft) facial features.

Rovahattians have very pale skin (they are in fact the lightest-skinned of all Inecurians) and reddish-brown, occasionally golden blond straight hair, with light, water-blue and occasionally green eyes. Their skulls are slightly shorter than most Epsilucians, with long and often concave noses which are less prominent than in most Epsilucians. They are the tallest Epsilucians and lean the most towards mesomorphy (more muscular).

Rovahattians are found in the north-east of Epsilucia, in the regions of Rovahatti and Saamen, and they have colonised most of Auleveau. Rovahattians are theorised to have distant ancestry to a population linked to the Kachakians (or Kachakegul) of Kamar, as they slightly resemble this population and genetic testing has found a weak link.

## Roulasaine

Roulasore (translating as "Roul's folk" or "folk of Roul") is the common term for the twin nations of Roulonne and Auleveau, which share a common ethno-linguistic heritage. Although the Aulevois live in Epsilucia, they are generally considered to consist of colonists from Roulonne, therefore having a different heritage, and so are grouped separately.

### Roulonnais

Roulonnaise are essentially identical to the North Pontid phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Roulonnaise have fair skin and straight to wavy dark brown, very dark blond or black hair. They have light eyes, typically blue but also rarely green, with occasional incidence of honey-brown in the north. They are mildly high-skulled, with straight and long noses. They are medium to tall and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

Roulonnaise are found throughout most of Roulonne, coexisting alongside the Ribalousaines, but they are particularly concentrated in the southern portion of the country and along the coastal towns of the north. Roulonnaise have several minor regional variations - some populations have slightly wider jaws or lighter hair, for example - but for the most part the phenotype is as described above.

### Ribalousaine

Ribalousaines are essentially identical to the Gracile Mediterranid phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Ribalousaines have olive to light brown skin and straight to wavy dark brown or black hair. They generally have brown eyes, but a small minority have blue or honey-coloured eyes. They are mildly low-skulled with straight, medium-length noses. They are of medium height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean) with gracile body proportions.

Ribalousaines are found almost exclusively in the region of Ribalouse, in the north of Roulonne. They are often mixed with Roulonnaise in the south of Ribalouse and along the coasts.

### Aulveois

Aulevoise are very similar to the Dinarid phenotype, shown in the pictures.

Aulveoise have olive to light brown skin, with wavy dark brown hair and brown eyes. They are high-skulled with long convex noses, with long and bony faces. They are of tall height and are generally endomorphic (more stocky) to mesomorphic (more muscular).

Although the Aulevoise exclusively inhabit Auleveau in modern times - a region of Epsilucia - it is widely believed that they were the pre-Roulonnais population of Roulonne, i.e. the Mocavierre-worshipping savages referred to in the Saga of King Roul. It is assumed that the Aulevoise are the survivors of King Roul's slaughter, who gathered together and were exiled - either voluntarily or by force - and ended up settling in north-eastern Epsilucia.

## Onshian

The genetic origins of the Onshians are for the most part unclear, though it is definitively known that large swathes of the country are directly descended from colonists from the city of Onshi itself, situated almost exactly in the middle of the region of Kiti. The city of Onshi has since received immigrants from across Onshitama, resulting in most phenotypes of the country coexisting there.

It is debated to what extent the native Heguo people were assimilated, or whether they were replaced by the colonists. If they were replaced, one can assume that ancient Heguomins resembled modern ones, due to the Heguomin population fleeing to their modern location. However, if they were assimilated, that would mean that pre-Onshian populations looked largely the same as the modern population, and modern Heguomin people look the way they do simply because they were the only population that retained their ancestral culture.

### Kitiko

Kitiko, also known as Kitians, greatly resemble the Chikuzen phenotype shown in the pictures.

Kitiko have light brownish-yellow skin with coarse straight, sometimes wavy black and dark brown hair. They commonly have epicanthic (mongoloid) folds, with light brown irises. They have moderately broad, sometimes concave noses. They have skulls of generally average proportions (mesocephalic) and are mildly high-skulled (hypsicranic). They do not lean towards any particular body type and are of medium height.

Kitiko inhabit the region of Kiti, which includes the city of Onshi itself and essentially covers all of southern Onshitama besides the colonial regions of Kimato and Okido. The exception is Anjitama, in eastern Kiti bordering Kimato, which displays a distinct phenotype.

### Kimatoko

Kimatoko, also known as Kimatoans, greatly resemble the Satsuma phenotype shown in the pictures, though they generally have darker, more brownish skin.

Kimatako have light to medium brownish-yellow skin with coarse straight, sometimes havy black hair. They commonly have epicanthic (mongoloid) folds with brown irises. They have broad faces and high skulls, with moderately broad noses. They are generally endomorphic and are of short height.

Kimatoko inhabit the region of Kimato, though they co-exist there with a significant Kitiko population, found predominantly amongst the urban middle and upper classes, i.e. the descendants of the original Onshian colonists. The origin of the Kimatoko phenotype is something of a mystery, as they do not bear a great resemblance to their Asmocarian neighbours or to other Onshians. It has been suggested that the Kimatoko are the last remnants of a population which once roamed the steppe but was replaced by the Asmocarians, but most scholars believe they were replaced even earlier by the pre-Asmocarian populations.

### Aikahiko

Aikahiko, also known as Aikahians (not to be confused with Ahiko/Ahikans), greatly resemble the Shanid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Aikahiko have yellowish light to medium brown skin with straight, sometimes wavy black or dark brown hair. They have light to dark brown eyes, typically with epicanthic (mongoloid) folds. They are mildly high-skulled, with mildly straight noses. They are of short height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

Aikahiko are a niche phenotype in the small region of Aikahi, in the far east of Kimato. They are often assumed to be the mix of Onshian colonists and the Steppefolk phenotype, or one similar to it.

### Ahiko

Ahiko, also known as Ahikans, greatly resemble the Ishikawa phenotype shown in the pictures.

Ahiko have yellowish light brown skin with coarse straight or wavy black or brown hair. They sometimes have epicanthic (mongoloid) folds with light brown eyes, though the southern population (Murahiko) occasionally displays grey-blue eyes along with lighter hair. Their eyes are larger than most Onshians. They have moderately high skulls and moderately short faces with mildly broad, sometimes concave noses. They do not lean towards a particular body type and are of medium-short height.

Ahiko are named after the region of Ahika, but where their population resides does not neatly follow the cultural boundary of Ahika. In the far north of Ahika (Toyahika), in the area named Rejimaka, Kitiko are more commonly seen than Ahiko, but when one goes far south enough to reach the White Forest of Toyahika the population is decidedly Ahiko with barely a Kitiko in sight. Only approximately two-thirds of southern Ahika (Murahika) consists of Ahiko; west of Kyogoshi the Rishiko population becomes far more common than Ahiko.

### Rishiko

Rishiko, also known as Rishians, greatly resemble the Yakonin phenotype shown in the pictures.

Rishiko have light to brownish yellow skin with coarse straight or wavy dark brown hair. They sometimes have epicanthic (mongoloid) folds with light brown eyes. They are mildly high-skulled with prominent long noses, usually convex and often with a broad tip. They are ectomorphic and are of medium height.

Rishiko dwell in the western region of Rishi as well as the far western portion of Murahika, west of the city of Kyogoshi. Of all the Onshians they are the most intermixed with the Heguomins, frequently displaying admixture with the Zhanguomin phenotype, and along the border with Kiti there is also heavy mixing with the Kitiko population.

### Okidoko

Okidoko, also known as Okidoans, greatly resemble the East Shanid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Okidoko have yellowish medium brown skin with straight, sometimes wavy black hair. They have dark brown eyes that typically sport epicanthic (mongoloid) folds. They are mildly wide-skulled with high straight noses. They are of medium height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

Okidoko are found in Okido, the region of Onshitama that borders Chalparna and Kalzuranur. Their heritage is predominantly Onshian, but it is obvious that they have local native heritage due to their darker skin. This darker skin, in addition to coming from the natives, is also thought to be an adaptation to the harsh sun of the region.

### Zhanguomin

The Zhanguomins, also known as Southern Heguomins, greatly resemble the Tibetid phenotype shown in the pictures, though often with lighter skin.

Zhanguomins have light olive skin with straight, sometimes wavy black or dark brown hair. They sometimes have epicanthic (mongoloid) folds with light brown, often honey-coloured eyes. They are mildly high-skulled with prominent, often convex noses. They are ectomorphic and are of medium-short height.

Zhanguomins dwell in the Heguomin communities in Rishi and Murahika - that is, in the valley of Heimara in the mountains bordering Keloruela, and in the monastery-city of Zhafang at the roots of the mountains bordering Avamorica, relatively nearby the city of Kyogoshi, as well as the other scattered small Heguomin communities along the same mountains.

### Leibamin

The Leibamins, also known as Northern Heguomins, are essentially identical to the Kham phenotype shown in the pictures.

Leibamins have medium olive brown skin with straight, sometimes wavy black hair. They have large and robust heads and dark brown eyes. They have straight, sometimes concave low-rooted noses and broad, somewhat flat faces with somewhat slanted eyes. They have skulls of generally average proportions (mesocephalic) and are high-skulled (hypsicranic). They are ectomorphic (more lean) and are of medium-short height.

Leibamins dwell in the Heguomin communities in Kiti - that is, the monastery-city of Erashin on the banks of Lake Eshikato, and the cities at the roots of the mountains bordering Chalparna, in the area known as Zhimi Dai. They are also found in the monastery-city of Shujing on the banks of Lake Marusato and nestled next to the Amasake hills.

## Chalparni

### Bhoravasi

The Bhoravasi phenotype, sometimes referred to as the Standard Chalparni phenotype, is almost identical to the North Indid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Bhoravasis have light to medium brown skin and straight or wavy, black or dark brown hair. They have relatively large and tall heads. They have long, narrow and often convex noses. They have high and narrow faces, weak chins, somewhat almond-shaped dark brown eyes and thick body hair. They are ectomorphic (more lean) and tall.

Although the Bhoravasi phenotype is spread across much of Chalparna, being the dominant phenotype in the country, it is most closely associated with the region (and historic kingdom) of Bhoravasa, in which Mayhara - the capital city of Chalparna - lies.

### Uttradeshi

The Uttradeshi phenotype is essentially identical to the Indo Iranid phenotype shown in the pictures, though with marginally darker skin.

Uttradeshis have light to medium brown skin and straight or wavy thick black hair. They have dark brown, often almond-shaped eyes and small, medium-proportioned heads, with long prominent noses. They are of medium-tall height and are generally endomorphic (more stocky), though many are also ectomorphic (more lean).

Uttradeshis are found almost exclusively in the region (and historic kingdom) of Uttradesh, which is in the north-west of Chalparna. Uttradeshis are often considered to be a result of the Lahamaji phenotype mixing with Kalzuranuris.

### Lahamaji

The Lahamaji phenotype is essentially identical to the Mountain Indid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Lahamajis have light to medium brown skin and straight or wavy black or dark brown hair. They have dark brown eyes and large, mildly tall heads, with a large nose that has a depressed root. They are of medium-short height and are generally endomorphic (more stocky).

Lahamajis are found almost exclusively in the region (and historic kingdom) of Lahamaja, which is in the south-west of Chalparna proper, on the border with Ladhara.

### Ladhari

The Ladhari phenotype is structurally identical to the Gracile Indid phenotype shown in the pictures, though often with marginally lighter skin.

Ladharis have light brown skin and straight or wavy, black or dark brown hair. They have dark to light brown eyes, sometimes almond-shaped, and relatively small and tall heads. They are of medium height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

The Ladhari phenotype predominantly inhabits the southern region of Ladhara, along the border with the Violet Mountains. However, due to migration with the Industrial Revolution, they can also be found in industrialised cities across Chalparna.

## Kalzuranuri

### Elwaquri

The Elwaquri phenotype is essentially identical to the Assyroid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Elwaquris have light brown, sometimes (in the far south) fair skin and wavy, sometimes curly brown or black hair. Southern variants can rarely sport blonde hair. They have light brown, sometimes almond-shaped eyes with prominently fleshy noses, and relatively small heads. They are of medium height and are generally endomorphic (more stocky).

The Elwaquri phenotype inhabits the region of Elwaqur - that is, the coast of Kalzuranur along Titan's Rift. They are more prominent in the south than in the north, where the population transitions towards the Qarohayni type.

### Adwani

The Adwani phenotype is essentially identical to the Iranid phenotype shown in the pictures, though in some locations where the population is found, the skin is darker than shown here.

Adwanis have light to medium-light brown skin and straight or wavy, brown or black (very rarely dirty blonde) hair. They have light to dark brown, often almond-shaped eyes (particularly in women), and are mildly high-skulled with long, usually convex noses. Frequently sports strong facial hair. They are of medium-tall height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

The Adwani phenotype is most strongly associated with the region of Adwan (which it is named after), but this phenotype can be found across much of Kalzuranur and is often considered the "typical" Kalzuranuri phenotype. Even in regions where other phenotypes are dominant, a notable minority of Adwanis can usually be found. In more northern regions, their skin is noticeably darker.

### Akkanuri

The Akkanuri phenotype is essentially identical to the Libyid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Akkanuris have light to medium-light brown skin and wavy black hair. They have dark brown, sometimes almond-shaped eyes, long faces, large mouths and prominent long noses, with relatively long skulls. They are of tall height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

The Akkanuri phenotype is found not only in the region of Akkanur it is named after, but generally the north of the Surqan river and the surrounding lands. They are often found mixed with Adwanis in the more southern reaches.

### Makkadi

The Makkadi phenotype is essentially identical to the Targid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Makkadis have medium brown skin and wavy, sometimes straight black hair. They have dark brown, occasionally vaguely pseudo-Mongoloid eyes with long, high-bridged and often hooked noses, with relatively long skulls. They are of tall height and have relatively long arms, and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

The Makkadi phenotype is found amongst the nomads of the open desert to the west of the Surqan river, the region known as Makkad. This region receives powerful sunshine with few clouds, and so their skin is amongst the darkest of any Inecurians. Though this is where they are natively from, Makkadis can also be found throughout Qarohayn, having migrated in during the Great Violet War under King Ashura Meqalyet.

### Qarohayni

The Qarohayni phenotype is essentially identical to the Yemenid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Qarohaynis have medium brown skin and wavy, occasionally curly black hair. They have dark brown almond-shaped eyes with mildly high-skulled, small heads. Their noses are long and are usually convex or hooked. They are of moderately short height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean).

The Qarohayni phenotype is so named because it has been identified as native to the far northern region of Qarohayn, but this type is only a small minority of the population, estimated at 10-20% - the number varies due to differing standards of identifying the phenotype between researchers. This was almost entirely the result of the Great Violet War, which almost drove the people of Qarohayn to extinction - and when the region was reconquered by King Ashura Meqalyet, it was repopulated by migrants from elsewhere in Kalzuranur, who were mainly of the Makkadi type and of various populations from Katranur.

## Katranuri

The dark-skinned inhabitants of the mountainous region of Katranur live within Kalzuranur and are generally considered culturally Kalzuranuri, but they are phenotypically and genetically distinct from the lowerlanders and so are grouped separately. Though native to Katranur, most members of these populations can be found in Qarohayn due to migration under King Ashura Meqalyet during the Great Violet War - the migrants to Qarohayn in turn mixed with each other, with the Makkadis who also migrated in, and with what little survived of the native Qarohaynis.

### Surammi

The Surammi phenotype is strongly similar to the Omotic phenotype shown in the pictures. They are by far the darkest-skinned humans of Inecuria, hence their name; "Surammi" literally means "those who are black".

Surammis have dark brown skin and curly black hair. They have very dark eyes, long faces, fairly wide noses, full lips and prominent cheekbones. Their height varies between populations but is generally medium to tall, and they are mostly mesomorphic (more muscular). They also tend to have little body hair.

Surammis inhabit the dry and sunny northern coastline of Katranur. They are often speculated to be the "original" population of Katranuris, with some scholars believing that they spread out across the mountains and mixed with populations related to or derived from the Kalzuranuris of the lowerlands, which could explain why other Katranuris more closely resemble the lowerlanders in facial structure and skin tone. Whilst genetic testing has found some evidence to support this theory, it is not very strong, and it remains disputed.

### Gashrani

The Gashrani phenotype is essentially identical to the Moorish phenotype shown in the pictures.

Gashranis have bronze brown skin and wavy or curly black hair. They have light to dark brown eyes, relatively low faces, mildly long and often pointed noses, and moderately high skulls. They are of medium height and are generally mesomorphic (more muscular) to ectomorphic (more lean).

The Gashranis inhabit the centre of Katranur, the area with the most challenging terrain but also the most abundant access to water. As a result, they are the most populous of the Katranuris within their homeland, but are not the most populous group of Katranuris in general, a title which is generally thought to belong to the Bedaris. The cause of their much lighter skin compared to other Katranuris is not clearly understood, as it is unlikely to be environmental in origin.

### Bedari

The Bedari phenotype is near-identical to the East Ethiopid phenotype shown in the pictures.

Bedaris have dark bronze or reddish-brown skin and curly, sometimes wavy hair. They have dark eyes, narrow faces and jaws, and long straight noses. They are of medium height and are generally ectomorphic (more lean), with little body hair.

Bedaris are native to the eastern portions of Katranur, but the vast majority of their population is found in Qarohayn. The migrants often display slightly lighter skin, but the difference is not significant. They are usually described as the most populous of the Katranuris, though this title is disputed as the degree of mixing in Qarohayn often makes standard phenotypes difficult to identify.

### Kuluti

The Kuluti phenotype is near-identical to the North Ethiopid phenotype shown in the pictures, though their skin tone is highly variable; it is sometimes as dark as shown here, and sometimes notably lighter.

Kulutis have dark to medium brown or bronze skin and curly, rarely wavy hair. They have dark eyes, relatively wide mouths, medium-proportioned skulls and relatively small heads, full lips and prominent chins. They are of tall height - the tallest of the Katranuris - and are generally ectomorphic (more lean) to mildly mesomorphic (more muscular).

Kulutis are native to the western portions of Katranur, but like all other Katranuris, more of them live in Qarohayn than in their original homeland. The name Kuluti is derived from the name of the region they live in, Kuluta, which is clearly not linguistically Kalzuranuri in origin and is likely derived from an indigenous pre-Kalzuranuri name - though some linguists have suggested a Kuahi origin.
