The Anticans are a polyethnic people that originated from southeastern Apollonia. At their height, they governed a series of regional power states, namely the Dinarchy of Antica, the Republic of Antica, and the Second Antican Republic. The Antican People are now mostly in diaspora as a result of the collapse of the Second Antican Republic, the occupation of core territory by other powers, and the remaining territory falling into anarchy.
Antican Ethnic Groups
Anticans traditionally viewed themselves as being divided into a set of ethnic groups, or tribes. These tribes were organized into two categories, Antiate Tribes and Aperiate Tribes. These are in accordance with Antican Legend, which link the Antiates together as descended from the sons of Anteus, while the Aperiates are together descended from various children of Aperys.
The division between the two kinds had blurred by the onset of the dual monarchy in Aquilaria, while the establishment of the Dinarchy of Antica, with its mobility and western settlement projects, help to intermingle the tribes and eliminate the social distinction.
- Antiate Tribes:
- Kaikiates (Καικιαται)
- Glauiates (Γλαυιαται)
- Nafticates (Ναυτικαται)
- Plateans (Plateani)
- Aperiate Tribes:
- Phedodans (Phedodani)
- Aepyates (Αιπυαται)
- Korhali (Korrali)*
- Aryashti (Ariasti)*
The Korhali and Aryashti maintained a level of autonomy and distinctive culture into historical time. The Korhali had become fully assimilated during the First Republic, while the Aryashti successfully maintained a distinct culture up to and beyond the end of the Second Republic and the diaspora.
