Tristanians are an ethnic group in western Halkeginia.
History[]
Tristanians are descended from the Magi, a tribe from Niðavellir, in what is now called the Holy Land. Around six thousand years ago, the Magi migrated to Halkeginia after being displaced by the Varyags and the elves. It is unknown if Halkeginia already had an indigenous population, or if the Magi intermarried with any.
Geographic distribution[]
Tristanians mostly reside in Tristain in western Halkeginia. They compose the majority of the population of Tristain. Although they originated from the Holy Land, there is no currently remaining Tristanian population.
