Origins

The Aldsay people, by consensus, trace their origins back to the indigenous inhabitants of Ju8c3b8rveh. These ancient settlers hailed from northern Davai approximately -50,000 RH. Their migration paths led them to northern Stoldavia by -30,000 RH. With the advent of agriculture in Stoldavia, Aldsay communities faced two fates: either assimilation by the more dominant Dolmer agriculturalists or being repelled back towards Jorveh.

History

Both anthropologists and archaeologists concur that the modern Aldsay, along with numerous Anarian groups, stem from a shared proto-Anarian lineage that branched out in Davai roughly 60,000 years ago. These Anario-Jorveh embarked on a journey, moving from Davai to southern Jorveh and subsequently reaching northern Anaria. Here, they came into contact with the Aurir, believed to be early Wolgos. Concurrently, the Anario-Tharnians ventured through Tharna, traversing Anaria Minor and entering eastern Anaria around 30,000 years ago. In regions like Thultania and northern Anaria Major, these migratory paths converged. Within a span of ten millennia, the Anario-Jorveh culture, characterized by its agropastoral way of life, held sway over territories ranging from Jorveh to the southern fringes of Adhem. A subsequent shift occurred around fifteen thousand years ago when the agrarian Anario-Biazriite culture surged northwards from Adhem, gaining prominence across northeastern Versia and advancing into regions such as the Helreich, Calcit, and Golden Peninsulas. In the next 5,000 years, this culture radiated throughout Anaria, laying the foundation for the Dolmer in eastern Stoldavia, the Brucht in Nester, the Cheltai in Livaria, the Cheltic Isles, and eastern Anaria Major, the Emther in Thultain, and the Karsk in western Anaria Major. Modern-day Stoldavia is still under the cultural influence of the Dolmer, with their historic territories demarcating the eastern boundary of Aedeland.

Religion

The majority of Aldsay devoutly follow the teachings of the Orkanan faith.

Ethnic Relations

In cultural terms, the Stoldavian Aldsay bear strong resemblances to other Stoldavian groups, notably the Dolmer. Broadly, it's postulated that the Aldsay share links with other polar ethnicities, such as Luora. The Emther's origins are believed to stem from a blend of Duolmer and Aldsay lineages. Intriguingly, despite their distinct biological traits, the Aldasay are theorized to share some ancestry with the pro-Wolgos lineages.

Subgroups

Jorvik Aldsay

The indigenous people of Jorveh are distinguished by their long skulls, towering and slender frames, pinkish-white skin tones, strikingly pale hair, blue eyes, and slender aquiline noses.

Stoldavian Aldsay

Genetically akin to the Jorvik Aldsay, this group, however, culturally aligns more closely with Stoldavian communities like the Dolmer. Predominantly found in eastern Aedeland and western Vittmark, particularly Hagen, they exhibit significant intermingling with the Dolmer. A considerable fraction, termed the Bubale, resides in the Bule Republics and encompasses colonies like Nambatu and Auresia. The Stoldavic phenotype showcases a long skull, height, fair skin complemented by blond or brown hair, and light-colored eyes. There's a phenotypic intersection between the Western Stoldavic and Jurvik subgroups. But the Eastern Stoldavic, especially those in Uvendiland, bear pronounced Dolmer features, which manifest in broader heads, robust jaws, a heavier bone structure, and accentuated masculine attributes.

Davaic Aldsay

Predominantly concentrated in Tanais, this subgroup emerged from the Stoldavic Aldsay's colonization of eastern Davai during the 57th century. While Tanais showcases the quintessential Davaic type, variations are evident in mainland Hayrand, influenced by Arkal. The Davaic phenotype, a blend of Aldsegian and Arkal traits, features height (albeit shorter than other Aldsay subgroups), fairer skin, a hair color spectrum from light brown to almost black, light eyes, and pronounced noses.

Anaric Aldsay

Primarily settled in Achilleio, with pockets of population in northern Aversa. Their distinguishing features include medium height, complexion between fair and olive, dark blond to light brown hair, light eyes, a prominent skull, a tapered forehead, and relatively narrow eye openings.

Adalu

This subgroup represents a fusion of Stoldavic Aldsay with various indigenous and foreign ethnicities of eastern Tzeraka. They are characterized by a medium skin tone, curly hair that ranges from dark blond to light brown, prominent light eyes, softer facial contours, full lips, and a subtly contoured nose.

 == Origins ==
-It is generally agreed that Aldasay people originate as the native people of Ju8c3b8rveh who come from northern [[Davai]] around -50,000 RH and subsequently migrated to northern [[Stoldavia]] in -30,000 RH. Since the rise of agriculture in Stoldavia, Aldsay people in Stoldavia either adopted agriculture and assimilated by the more powerful [[Dolmer]] people or have been driven back to [[Jorveh]] by them.

 == History ==
-Anthropologist and archaeologist agree that modern AldAsay, as well as many of the peoples of Anaria, share a common proto-Anarian ancestry that diverged in Davai about 60 thousand years ago. The Anario-Jorveh migrated from [[Davai]] to southern Jorveh and on to northern Anaria. There, the Anario-Jorveh encountered a primitive race they called the [[Aurir]]. It is likely the Aurir were [[Wolgos]]. Meanwhile, Anario-Tharnians traveled through Tharna, crossing Anaria Minor into eastern Anaria about 30 thousand years ago. The Anario-Juorveh met their distant Anario-Tharnian cousins in Thultania and north Anaria Major. Within ten thousand years, a distinct agropastoral [[Anario-Jorveh culture]] controlled a region that stretched from Jorveh to as far south as [[Adhem]]. Approximately fifteen thousand years ago, the agricultural [[Anario-Biazriite]] culture pushed north from Adhem to dominate northeastern Versia and eventually invaded the [[Helreich]], Calcit, and Golden Peninsulas. Within five thousand years, this agrarian culture spread through much of [[Anaria]], giving rise to the Dolmer of eastern Stoldavia, the Brucht of [[Nester]], the [[Cheltai]] of Livaria, the [[Cheltic Isles]], and eastern [[Anaria Major]], the [[Emther]] of Thultain, and the [[Karsk]] of western Anaria Major. The Dolmer culture still dominates modern Stoldavia, and the limit of their ancient domain defines Aedeland's eastern border to this day.

 == Ethnic Relations ==
-Culturally, Stoldavian Aldsay people are most similar to other Stoldavian ethnic groups such as Dolmer people. However, it is believed that Aldsay people, in general, are connected to other polar people such as [[Luora]]. The Emther are theorized to be derived from admixtures of Duolmer and Aldsay populations. Despite their different biology, [[Wolgos]] people are suggested to have originated from the same stock as the Aldsay.

 === Jorvik Aldsay ===
-The native peoples of Jorveh. Characterized by a long skull, very tall lean stature, pinkish-white complexion, very light hair, blue eyes, and a narrow aquiline nose.

 === Stoldavian Aldsay ===
-This group is biologically close to Jorvik Aldsay. They are culturally more similar to Stoldavian people like Dolmer. The Stoldavian Aldsay of eastern Aedeland and western Vittmark, especially in Hagen, are heavily mixed with the Dolmer peoples. A significant portion, known as the Bubale, are found in the [[Bule]] Republics, including [[Nambatu]] and Auresian colonies. The Stoldavic phenotype includes a long skull, tall stature, fair skin with blond or brown hair, and light eyes. Phenotypical overlaps exist between the Western Stoldavic and the Jurvik types. However, the Eastern Stoldavic type, especially in [[Uvendiland]], shows strong Dolmer influence, evident in their larger heads, broad jaws, bigger bones, and more pronounced masculine features.

 === Davaic Aldsay ===
-Primarily found in [[Tanais]], they are the outcome of Stoldavic Aldsay colonization of eastern Davai in the 57th century. The most representative type is in Tanais, but there is significant variation in mainland Hayrand due to Arkal influence. The Davaic phenotype is Aldsegian influenced Arkal type, marked by tall stature (though shorter than other Aldsay groups), relatively fair skin, hair ranging from light brown to near black, light eyes, and large noses.
