Calbain people, generally called Calbain, are an ethnic group on Micras that originated on the Ynys y Calbain in the Aeronesian Archipelago. The Calbain are the largest, and culturally dominant, group in Calbion.
Etymology
It is certain that there already existed a people indicated as Calbain, or Calbi, during the Jasonian era. The origins of the name for the Calbain people is unclear, but etymologists have suggested that the old Calbic root calb- means "bald" or "barren", and refers to the plains that cover most of central Calbion. The people give their name to the nation of Calbion, in the native Calbic language known as the Gwlad y Calbain, or the land of the Calbain.
Identity
The Calbain are a culturally tight group with a distinct national culture. The Calbain people have suffered many hardships throughout history, having faced cultural repression and the threat of ethnic cleansing on several occasions. As a result, many traditions, customs and myths have been carefully preserved and often orally transferred to the next generation. Traditionally, the Calbain are a rural people. Economic advancements and growth during the mid 17th century have led to increased urbanisation around certain places such as Pentyre and Llysthur.
