 Yuen people have thin features, short heights, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, and gold-tan skin tones. Their hair color is usually raven black but through dyes or treatments can be any color. Their eye colors are often hazel or brown.
+===== Volgans (Slavic) =====
+The Volgans, a stern, stoic and devout people, following a militant religious organization known as the Hero's Orthodox Church (Pravoslavnaq Cerkov'geroq) or the Volgan Orthodoxy to some, which encompasses the Nations leadership as part of their Hierarchy. Believers of an entity they refer to as the Hero, or the great hero. A god who is depicted as a bloodied and reverent Soldier, believing in order and discipline in all aspects of life. That by serving or living life with strict discipline and structure, one may reach salvation. Which is depicted as a place where discipline is no longer fully needed and the worthy are allowed to indulge in aspects they sacrificed in life for their salvation.
+A mix of various peoples fall under the umbrella title of "Volgans" many smaller States make up the second largest of what would become the three "main" Nations. Nations recognized for over all world development, decisions and eventually its eventual collapse. Seen in its history by multiple city capitals, through what was referred to as "The Holy Unification." A long and rather controversial war to unify the many states  under the banner of the Hero's Orthodox the Church. Now the 12 Leaders of the States that assimilated to include the groups namesakes, "The Chimaira" controlled the now territories.
+ To the Hero's Orthodox Church, Canonizing followers who embody the virtues of the revered Hero, is seen as an honor any member of the Volgan First Aspire to be. Members of the religious sect of Volgan military personnel who wished to embody their deity, taken to the upmost extreme. If able to do so they would become Saints of the Hero himself. Stationed out of the City state of Amtapov, the Volgan First saw the most action in the mid-war period of the Heavens War. since national leaders did not wish to initially join the fray.
+The [[nation:bts:cult|]] has spun tales of the Hero truly being their lady Ishtar in disguise. leading to issues within the more zealous sects of both groups. small groups in modern times still follow old ways of worship rather than removing religion as ordered by the Conglomerate.
+(Descriptions include fair skin to olive skin tones,  brown, green, blue and hazel/gold. Either almond or rounded eyes with brown, blonde, black and red hair colors. height of males average at roughly 6'0ft but the tallest Volgan recorded was 6'9ft. females average height is roughly 5'9 but can widely vary.)
+===== Lusiads (Iberians) =====
+Ask a Lusiad, what is best in life and more often than not, the answer will be one of two: drinking a cold beer after a hard day of working the field or smelling the salty wind of the sea on your ship. Those are the two stereotypes of the Lusiad people, the salt of the earth farmer that never leaves his home or the daredevil sailor and pilot with a burning desire to see what's beyond the horizon. Yet they are also a mournful people, being the only ones with the concept of //saudade//,a permanent, irreparable loss and its consequent lifelong damage.
+Born on a peninsula, surrounded by water on more than half of their borders, it is no surprise that Lusiads developed such a close relationship with the ocean, with fishing as one of the main industries throughout history. "The sea is a Lusiad's mistress and she's always in a mood," being a common joke. They also contain a romantic view of their ancient history, with their medieval golden age of exploration remembered fondly, as it was the time where the Lusiads were at their strongests. Their colonies were spread out to such a degree, the sun never set on their empire. They are one of the few cultures that still retains their old knightly orders, even if unofficially. In modern times, they are seen as ways to award conspicuous gallantry exhibited by Lusiads. This tradition survives on with the emblazoning of the red lion on clothing, and some special cases, [[nation:bts:bamf|]] armor.
+Yet despite their humble means, they are a cultured people, having a deep folkloric history. Many of their arts take inspiration from other cultures, due to having been the first explorers to connect with different cultures in their world. Architecture and star reading from the Qadesh and literature and dramatic tropes from Acheron (The Travels Beyond Cape Adamastor, being chief among them.) , spices from all over the world in their cuisine. Religion wise, they are equally diverse, although with a majority following the [[nation:bts:cult|]].
+In terms of leisure, they are great purveyors of fish, cheese and wine. Of special note is their cod, their mountain goat cheese and their signature wine called "D'Ouro", a "golden" wine infused with small amounts of a medicinal psychoactive drug found in  golden leaves, hence the name. But the greatest unifying element of any Lusiad, is their singular love of football.
+Lusiads have such features as slightly brown hair, their olive skin, brown eyes and more rare light eye colours, an average height of 173cm.
