The Blue Caps (藍冠, Lánguān) are the descendants of Principean people who settled in Shang Fa, mainly the Adventurers (冒險者 Màoxiǎnzhě): mercenaries and soldiers who served in the Tan Dynasty and Great Covenant militaries. Nowadays, the term is mainly used to refer to rural Principean speakers of Auressian appearance. They're often contrasted against both the native Hua people and the Metis: urban Principean speakers of mixed origin and appearance and generally of higher social status than the Blue Caps.
History
from the 16th century to 18th century, Blayk was the dominant colonial power of the new world. From there, expeditions were able to go ever further westward and reach the continents of Isuan and Surucia. However, the Blaykish were unable to maintain their foothold in Isuan following their defeat in the Colonial Wars for Qes, driving them away from the inner Sea, they nonetheless managed to retain influence in northern Huran. In the Lin Dynasty, they established trade ports and missions on the coastline under the strict overwatch of Imperial Supervisors, trading silk for silver and neotropical goods such as sugarcane, vanilla, chocolate, and spices.
In 1750, Nicolas Bertrand D'Arixomage began operation as a missionary in continental Huran (Neidi). The Lin Dynasty was then embroiled in conflict, with the Tan-Zheng Disorder and the Three Brothers Uprising. After failed attempts by the Tan Clan to crush the rebellion and restore the Lin Dynasty, the Prince of Tan ended up finding refuge in D'Arixomage' mission. The Perendist cleric became one of the Prince' most dedicated supporters, promoting his cause at the international while also financing the recruitment of foreign mercenaries and Blayko-Principean adventurers from across the Blaykish colonial empire.
D'arixomage support of the Tan and lobbying gained him the right to proselytize freely and to establish as many churches as he wished. While he untimely died before the Tan could fully establish their own state, he had laid the groundwork for Perendism to take root in Huran.
Through D'arixomage, other Principean adventurers joined the Tan' side. Jean-Baptiste Chatellier became a General and de-facto Admiral and Navy Chief for the Prince of Tan. Charles-Gauthier de Fluery, Captain of Condor-Royal (the main military installation of the Blaykish Empire in the region), also served as a General of the Tan, military advisor, and chief of logistics. Other famous adventurers included Olivier Blanquois (chief military architect), Laurent-Marie Bailly, and Benoit de Brogne among others. In total, an estimated 10,000 adventurers and mercenaries from all over Auressia and Marceaunia served under the Tan banner; around 6,000 of which stayed in Huran after the civil war. A class of Blaykish traders, merchants, sailors, and other administrators followed in their wake, creating the first permanent Principean settlements in Neidi.
