The Asikhs

The Asikhs (alternatively going by Asaravijayan) are the oldest and largest Plagosian race, their ancestry dating back to migrations of Proto-Najer groups, who are believed to have reached the southern tip of the continent via the landbridge that connects to Nieden. Though Asikhs are most generally associated with inhabitants of Tengaesal, the race name applies to those of lands beyond the mountainous plateau, as the people of Sakurai Tempo, Kitaichi, and Hongan-Ji.

Traits that most commonly define Asikhs are their darker skin tones, thick brunette hair, and a recessive pomegranate eye color that's known to appear through only a chance of 1 in 200 individuals, though shades of the iris could also range from scarlet to even blood-red. Most notable individuals that possess this trait include former Asaravijayan monarch Marui Tchangsiu, and shogun Yamato Tempo. In western Plagosi regions however, most of the characteristics mentioned above are scarcer in number, as the indigenous predecessors of the Naho nobilities introduced a paler complexion into the gene pool that is most similar to Aurlunoren humans, along with an epicanthal fold and straight black hair.
