Eremo

The Eremo are a Rathnir ethnic group that mostly live in the former Duchy of Erenova lands, in the southernmost part of the island of Centaris, Republic of Centaris.

Origins
In their early history, they migrated from their original lands. Their urheimat is deep within the jungles of Vastallos, where their distinct cultural and linguistic connotations originally formed.

The migration brought them to the Phagosian shores of Vastallos. They crossed to the continent of Ummarnu through what is now Volandia, in Bridgetown. From there they sailed along the barren and arid coastlines, until they reached the rocky shores of Centaris (then called Ocotlan). They called their landing island Erenova Ocotlanii, meaning "new home of the Eremo, in the island of Ocotlan".

Along their migration path, the Eremo lightly settled, if at all. All traces of the migration were lost to time, and cannot be found at all. The only living, breathing, remnant of this past can be found in their language, which is spoken and common in the lands of Erenova. Some linguistic elements were picked up from crossing established settlements like Porta Fiume, Bridgetown and Valentia. Many more loanwords were taken from the contact that the Eremo had with the Huitca people. An example of this is the Eremo word for "Island" which is "Ocote", coming from the name "Ocotlan", of Huitca origin. this page is a WIP
