Races in Estines

Notable People
All current members of the Pendragon family are Playtan. Lucia Pendragon was the only exception, although due the Stuarts Family being in Estines for so long it's likely that she was at least part Playtan. Some other Playtans include Chief Lewis, Nora Lovewall, and Melanie Crispin. Lilah Wilkes and Rina Saburo are both about a quarter Playtan, although this number may be higher depending on how Playtan the Lucia was.

Origin
All Playtans come from an ancient country called Playtus, sometimes referred to as the Playtan Empire. Playtus is a parallel to Ancient Rome, based on the clothing and names of the emperors, such as Emperor Phoebus. It's unclear when Playtus was formed or when exactly it ended, although a general estimate can be made for it's end.

Status in Estines
Due to being the majority race, Playtans hold all the power within Estines. It's illegal to bar them from entering any business on the basis of race, while it's common place for all other races to be barred from certain businesses. The entire government and Military Police, or the domestic army, is made up entirely of Playtans. Systems like these allow Playtans to be in charge.

Notable People
Lucas Black, Robert Crispin, Meirong Doran, Jianyu Doran, Maryanne Crispin, Hank Crispin, and Major Colonel Raine are all Dongyans. Lilah Wilkes is half Doran, as her father was the head of the Doran Clan.

Origin
All Dongyans are originally from a region called Dongya, a chunk of land on the very eastern edge of Clibera, the largest continent in both population and size. Initially, it was one nation called Wu. As time went on, however, it split into three nations. The more mountainous northwest formed the nation of Baekje, while a small portion of land but nearly all Wu's islands formed the nation of Kamakura. The three nations, although clearly all originating from Wu, had distinct culture, language, food, and writing.

Compared to the other two countries, Baekje preferred to focus on itself domestically and simply defend it's lands. Due to this, Baekje only has had two, six hundred year long dynasties. Wu and Kamakura, on the other hand, focused much more on conquering the other two countries and poured endless amounts of money into war. This led to Wu and Kamakura having several different dynasties, none of which lasted more than two hundred years.

This fighting led to the high number of Dongyan refugees, as the frequent wars caused many people to get displaced.

Status in Estines
Dongyans in Estines, like the Dongya region, fall into three distinct categories: Doran Clan members, recent Dongyan immigrants, and Dongyans whose family has been in Estines for several generations.
