Evidence of human activity on the islands dates back to the 7000s BCE, with {{wp|Celts|Tenic}} influence beginning in the 200s BCE. The Caithians diverged from the [[Ghailles]], becoming the sole members of the {{wp|Brittonic_languages|Caithian branch}} of Insular Tenic. The islands were feared by ancient Euclean navigators, known for their screaming woad-wearing tribesmen. Starting in the 1200s CE, the {{wp|Normans|Verique}} who had established themselves as the lords of Glytter sent expeditions to claim the small islands for the Crown. It was subsumed into the Ghaillish realm, and largely operated as a normal county, with its lord known as the Mormaer.

In 1678, the Verique dynasty of the islands died out, and [[Monarchy of Glytter|Queen]] [[Fiona VII of Glytter|Fiona VII]] came into possession of the islands, turning it into royal domain. A summer-and-lake-house was constructed on the islands as an additional royal residence. Throughout the late 1800s, as nationalism arose across Euclea, a Caithian national identity emerged. In 1978, after protests across the island, Caithia was granted limited autonomy from the Ghaillish Crown in the [[Caithian Home Rule Bill]]. The level of autonomy granted has been gradually increasing over the years, but still a stark split exists between unionist and separatist factions on the islands.

Caithia (Caithian: Ynys Cyth, Ghaillish: Cait), officially the Mormaerdom of Caithia (Caithian: Tir Ynys Cyth, Ghaillish: Mormaerdha na Cait) is an autonomous county within the Kingdom of Glytter, located in northern Euclea. The islands host 46,128 residents, the majority of which are the Caithian people. Ghaillish and the native Caithian hold the status of co-official languages on the islands.

Evidence of human activity on the islands dates back to the 7000s BCE, with Tenic influence beginning in the 200s BCE. The Caithians diverged from the Ghailles, becoming the sole members of the Caithian branch of Insular Tenic. The islands were feared by ancient Euclean navigators, known for their screaming woad-wearing tribesmen. Starting in the 1200s CE, the Verique who had established themselves as the lords of Glytter sent expeditions to claim the islands for the Crown. It was subsumed into the Ghaillish realm, and largely operated as a normal county, with its lord known as the Mormaer.

In 1678, the Verique dynasty of the islands died out, and Queen Fiona VII came into possession of the islands, turning it into royal domain. A summer-and-lake-house was constructed on the islands as an additional royal residence. Throughout the late 1800s, as nationalism arose across Euclea, a Caithian national identity emerged. In 1978, after pro-independence protests erupted across the island, Caithia was granted limited autonomy from the Ghaillish Crown in the Caithian Home Rule Bill. The level of autonomy experienced by Caithia has been gradually increasing over the years, but a stark divide exists between unionist and separatist factions on the islands.

The fishing and oil industries are major employers on the islands, together providing 21% of GNP, while the Ghaillish Ministry of Defence contributes a further 11%. Caithia exists under the same administration as Glytter, and is considered an autonomous county within the Kingdom. The head of state is Mormaer Kenneth IV, represented by Governor Órla Ní Fhlannagáin, while Chief Minister Duane ap Drummond acts as the head of government, commanding a majority in the Cynulliad.
