Lardburgian

Description
The Lardburgian people are a culture of supposedly foreign settlers who founded the city of New Lardburg on the banks of the kingdom of Reyllea. They were participants in the founding of the briefly active Kingdom of Rhodia, and they joined the Archduchy of Reyllea when it became a part of Theios-Essukdal. The current Caeron and cultural head of the Lardburgians is Caeron Kerplis Everthorne Elernel.

Origins
The Lardburgian culture, unlike almost all of the cultures of Rathnir, does not hail from Rathnir itself. The Lardburgian peoples proclaim themselves to come from an ancient homeland foreign to Rathnir, which may however be disputed by sources less questionable than "old legends". In this other world (which may have possibly just been a forgotten island or an old name for a continent on Rathnir), the ancient warring clans of Carn and Lant were united under a great leader, Bivoy the Lard, the founder of the great lost city of Old Lardburg. Bivoy is said to have been a wise and righteous leader, whose reign lasted for long, so much so tha he was later deified by the Lardburgians, but when he knew that he could not lead the people of Lardburg for any longer, he stepped down and sent an envoy of his most loyal subjects to colonise new lands in his stead. This is how the modern Lardburgians claim to have arrived in Rathnir.

Traditions and practices
The people of Lardburg are an organised culture group, and they have retained their unique traditions and way of life even when they were assimilated into bigger and stronger nations. The Lardburgians follow their Caeron, to whom they are loyal and must answer at all times. The Caeron is however not all powerful, as they are only supposed to be a stand-in in place of the Eternal Caeron. If the Lardburgians were unhappy with their Caeron's decision making, they could simply vote to have them replaced with a suitable candidate.
