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.
