Laetin

The Laetins are a human ethnic group native to western Aries.

Appearance
Laetin can be differentiated by the Breton and Din by their fair to swarthy skin, as opposed to the typically fairer complexion of Bretons and Din. However, Laetin skin tones are not as dark as the Mariden. Laetin's also have sharper faces than most Human races.

History
During the Pre-Augustian Era, the Laetin people were divided between several city-states.

Incursions from the Bestia tribes to the north and the Ork kingdoms to the south eventually led to the city-states uniting under Caius Vitellius, the Princep of the city of Sortis.

Culture
The most defining trait of Laetin culture is their egalitarianism. Although some Laetins may be arrogant, a majority are very conciliatory and congenial nature, making they skilled politicians and merchants.

Despite their current egalitarian culture, the Laetin kingdoms treatment of non-human races varies. For example, the Laetin kingdom of Navarra established segregated quarters for its Bestia population while kingdoms such as Vimanca, Estades and Casela see themselves as bastions of equality.

Religion
A majority of Laetins see themselves as Katholians, while others in the northern regions see themselves as either Rochonites or followers of the Dark elf religion.
