Contents[]
Ehb was colonized by settlers from the Empire of Stars, so most of its human citizens are descended from the two ethnic groups that formed the core of the old Empire: the Ilion and the Virsk.
The sovereigns of the Empire were of Ilion descent, as were most of the original founders of the 10th Legion. The oldest and most distinguished Legion families are almost exclusively Ilion. Their traditional culture values both intellectual and martial pursuits, while eschewing most manual labor, except for farming. Old Ilion families have names like Montmercy or Guiscard, and some reference place names, like du Marnay or du Blanc.
The Virsk, on the other hand, are renowned as craftsmen and artisans. Occupations and their secrets tend to be passed from one generation of a family to the next, so that particular lineages are known as supremely talented shipbuilders, sculptors, goldsmiths, and the like. Old Virsk families continue to reside in Stonebridge, and in the southern port of Bisselberg. They have names like Grimmelhaus, Mieterzoon, and Ketzler, and their ancient language can still be heard in archaic words like dakkenweyr (“beast kin”) or Rukkenvahl (“vale of ravens”).
