Austein Humans

Austeins are the mountainous humans East of the Merlieu Peninsula. They are famous for being the first to be conquered by the Merian Empire, but not without resisting them through a twenty year long war. These people are stereotyped as large and brutish, but they have developed a strong administrative tradition that has allowed them create flourishing societies in the aftermath of the Merian Empire's collapse. The Austeins often struggle with Merian leaders over control of the Copranitist holy seat in Itro, but they often find common ground against bigger threats elsewhere.

The Endless Kingdoms of Trizia are considered the crown jewel of Austein accomplishment. From a clannish people in the Austein mountains to a sprawling realm, the Austeins claim that they are the true successors of the Merian Empire.

Many Austeins believe that the Cimmerian Threat is sin, however, many have come to fear the Terrestrial Empire of Qiyn as the Cimmerian Threat.
