The Hyspians
| ||||||||||||||
The Hyspians, also called Hyspanics are one of the ethnicities that makes up the Farfolk humans. Formerly nomadic, the Hyspian people are native to Arcas and its largely uncolonized area known as "The Wildlands" where for decades they roamed the mountains. Under the leadership of Cesar de Rivera, the nomadic Hyspians banded together and formed the first permanent Hyspian settlement of Tierra Natal. This laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Hyspia and, centuries later, the Viceroyalty of Hyspia. Their origins are relatively unknown, yet it is widely rumored that they are in some way related to Santegians due to speaking the same language. The Hyspians in the modern era prefer a feudal type of government, having had several Monarchs of Hyspia and many noble families such as the House of Altamirano, House Mendez, House de Rivera, and more. Although in the modern era many Hyspians reside under the vassalization of other nations, many Hyspians still maintain a mindset of political and cultural independence and some still strive for a successful independent Hyspian state.

Clothing
The Hyspian people are known for having a wide variety of attire. Oftentimes this includes bright coloring (often Red, Blue, Green, or Yellow), and nobility of the culture is known to use gold trimmings on their clothes. As for armor, Hyspian armies have historically preferred a blend of gambeson and plate armor with a chest plate almost always included. Blue is the most popular color of the culture, as it is the color of the banners for both the old Kingdom of Hyspia and the Viceroyalty of Hyspia. Red often comes as a close second.
Appearance
Physically a Hyspian, like any other Human, can have any body shape. In terms of distinctive features the Hyspians tend to have a skin color ranging from light tan to olive to bronze. It often depends on the profession of the Hyspian, as a Hyspian who constantly is outside working on a field is likely to have a darker skin tone than a Hyspian who spends a majority of their time within a nobleman's castle.
