The Emther are an ethnic group native to the island of Thultannia in northern Anaria, known for their distinct red or fair hair and blue or green eyes. They are the predominant ethnic group in Penryn and Halland, with minority populations in Stoldavia, Auresia, northern Anaria Major, western Jörveh, and various Thultannian colonies around Gotha.

Origins

The Emther primarily descend from the Cydhlig people, who originally inhabited all of Thultannia. It is believed that they first migrated from Jörveh and Stoldavia around 26,000 BP, settling in the areas now known as Halland and Einhafan. Subsequent migrations occurred between 23,000 BP and 7,000 BP (500 RH), bringing immigrants from Anaria Major and Anaria Minor. By 5,000 BP (2500 RH), the red-haired, green- or brown-eyed Cydhlig people had become the dominant ethnic group across the island. The languages spoken by these people belonged to the Cydhlig language family,

History

By 5500 RH, the Cydhlig people had undergone significant changes due to migrations from the south and the influence of Orkanan missionaries from Stoldavia. This led to the emergence of a distinct ethnic group known as the Emther. This era, often referred to as the Migration Period, marked a time of ethnic consolidation. By 6000 RH, southern Thultannia's South Cydhlig languages had been replaced by other languages. However, in the north and among various clans, the Emther maintained their linguistic and cultural traditions.

By 6200 RH, Thultannia was divided into distinct kingdoms and territories, including the notable republic of Eihhafan and Iseldir, which dominated the northern and central regions by 7200 RH.

Religion

The predominant religion among the Emther is Orkanan, with various branches being practiced across the regions where they reside.

Languages

The Emther speak a variety of languages, reflecting their diverse history and the different regions they inhabit:

Cydhlig languages: including Awenydd, Kreizenn, Ceolán (Irish), and Arrane (Manx).
Achlt languages: such as Hallisian languages and Sûnens
Dragar languages: including Anisoran and Auresian.

Ethnic Relations

In modern times, the Emther have experienced mixed relations with other ethnic groups. They generally maintain a cautious stance toward the Dölmer, perceived as domineering. A similar wariness exists towards the Karsk, due to historical territorial conflicts involving Auresia and Ardennes in southern Thultannia. Conversely, the Emther have a more positive relationship with the Aldsay of Aedeland and Jörveh, viewing them as friendly and compassionate, akin to a less imposing version of the Dölmer.

+The '''Emther''' are an [[Ethnic groups|ethnic group]] native to the island of [[Thultannia]] in northern [[Anaria]], known for their distinct red or fair hair and blue or green eyes. They are the predominant ethnic group in Penryn and [[Halland]], with minority populations in [[Stoldavia]], [[Auresia]], northern Anaria Major, western [[Jörveh]], and various Thultannian colonies around [[Gotha]].
-The Emther stand out as a vibrant ethnic group native to the island of Thultannia, nestled in the northern regions of Anaria. Recognized easily by their characteristic red or fair hair and either brown or green eyes, the Emther have left an indelible mark on the regions of [[Einhafan]] and [[Halland]]. Besides these hubs, their presence has touched various corners like [[Stoldavia]], [[Auresia]], Northern Auresia, [[Anaria Major]], and the western stretches of [[Jorveh]]. Historically, their influence also extended to colonies around Gotha, reminiscent of Thultannia's erstwhile glory.
 == Origins ==
-Delving into the roots of the Emther leads us to the enigmatic [[Cydhlig]] people. Covering every nook and cranny of Thultannia, the Cydhlig's journey traces back to lands like Jorveh and Stoldavia. Around 26,000BP, waves of Cydhlig migrants chose to call places like Halland and Einhafan their home. This migration was not a singular event; between 23,000BP to 7,000BP, Thultannia saw fresh faces from Anaria Major and Anaria Minor. But by 5,000BP, the Cydhlig, with their distinctive physical features, became the dominant ethnic identity. Their cultural fabric was deeply interwoven with languages showcasing common linguistic elements, all categorized under the Cydhlig language umbrella. Contemporary linguistic scholars demarcate these into three primary sub-families: East Cydhlig, South Cydhlig, and West Cydhlig.

 == History ==
-The timeline around 5500RH was pivotal for the Cydhlig. Their pure lineage saw intermixing due to southern migrations and influences from the Orkanan missionaries, hailing from the Stoldavic [[Orkanan]] realm. This era, now termed the "Migration Period", witnessed a decline in migratory movements, paving the way for the Emther's emergence as a distinct ethnic identity. By 6000RH, the linguistic landscape underwent a sea change, with southern Cydhlig languages making way for newer tongues. Records from 6200RH depict a Thultannia dotted with clear territorial demarcations, representing diverse kingdoms. Fast forward to 7200RH, and Thultannia was primarily under the aegis of the Kingdom of Penrhyn and Iseldir.

-[[Orkanan]] is not just a religion for the Emther; it's a way of life. This belief system, with its intricate sects and branches, forms the spiritual backbone of the Emther community.

 == Languages ==
-The tapestry of languages spoken by the Emther is rich and varied. At its core lie the Cydhlig languages - the likes of Einhafanish, Islish, Camberian, and Owerogogian. However, their linguistic repertoire doesn't end here. They are also fluent in [[Achlt]] languages, notably [[Hallish]] and [[Aedelish]], and the Dragar languages, including Ardennique and [[Auresian]].

 == Ethnic Relations ==
-The modern world sees the Emther navigating a complex web of ethnic relations. Their interactions with the Dolmer are characterized by caution, stemming from the latter's perceived dominance. The Karsk too, especially with Auresian territorial ambitions in southern Thultannia, are approached with a mix of respect and reservation. Yet, the relationship with the Aldsay from Aedeland and Jorveh shines as a beacon of mutual admiration and camaraderie.
