The Kingdom of Seylos is made of many different ethnic groups which all share citizenship within its borders. It is also defined beyond the island of Seylos itself by overseas holdings such as Eire, Kaseka, and Maimi. The major ethnic groups commonly seen in Seylos are usually split between what is considered the "Original Settlers" and other minority groups.

Original Settlers

The term "Original Settlers" referes to the groups of people who arrived on Seylos after leaving Anglia. These modern day groups are the Anglish, Cymrans, and Albans which make up the vast majority of the population of the Seylosian home island.

Anglish

An Anglish man and woman.

The Anglish people are direct descendant of the Anglians who migrated from Great Anglia following the Ten Years Civil War. While mostly genetically similiar to their Anglian siblings, the Anglish group has diverged in some ethnic ways through intermarriage and a significant cultural split. The Anglish people are the largest ethnic group in Seylos, accounting for over 40% of the Seylosian population. They overwhelmingly speak Anglish as their primary language.

Alban

An Alban man and woman.

The Alban people are descendants of Geltic peoples who originally migrated from Yeetland to Great Anglia after Arthfael Bricius's invasions in 970 CE. Originally made up of several Yeetlander clans, over the past thousand years they have coallesced into the singluar Alban identity. The Albans joined the Anglish and Cymrans in their exodus from Great Anglia, where none of the ethnic group continue to exist. Albans are primarily located in North West Seylos in its mountainous region. They primarily speak Anglish however Alban Gaelic is still a popular language used amongst the community.

Cymryan

An Cymryan woman and man.

Cymrans, much like Albans, are descendants of Geltic peoples who originally migrated from Yeetland to Great Anglia. They represented different tribes than the Albans but joined the exodus to Seylos. These clans, like the Albans, merged over the next thousand years becoming the Cymryan identity. Cymryans are primarily located in western Seylos where they primarily speak Anglish but also still frequently use the Cymryan language.
