The concepts of race and ethnicity in the Civilised World are complex, related to issues of history, geography and culture.

History
The early Manthi migrated south along the coast of Anásthias from the Jorothi homelands in what is now northwestern Ororr during the Jade Epoch, around 9000 BME. The Manthi developed a separate identity as nomadic peoples, being some of the first people to tame herds of viridplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigVirid

Munatan [Moo-Nah-Tahn] is the southernmost region of Anásthias, south of the Dun Trisan mountains. The name possibly derives from a ancient Thalsic, meaning “Land of One Sun”, since the daystar is not visible in the southern hemisphere. Or it may be a reference to the Manthi people who were once the majority population of western Munatan.

Culture
Traditionally there were many hundreds of Manthi clans, each with an animal totem as their symbol. For a migrant people, keeping animals was historically crucial, and so early Manthi culture relied very much on worshipping the symbiosis between animals and life. As new clans were created, many took mythical or imaginary animals as their totem, and today even many virid animals are represented, particularly hunting creatures. Manthi are unusual in having almost no virid taboo, the necessity of their nomadic lifestyle forcing them to embrace the use of virid foods and animals wherever it was possible.
