The Slavic People of Lignuntia are the Second Largest Ethno-Linguistic Group and one of the most prominent. The Slavs of Lignuntia originate from the Slavic Migration into Laudica in the Late 100s A.D and Invasion of the Iunan People. They were Raiders and Barbarians and devastated Cities like Aquae Sulis and Mediolanum but suffered a Series of Crushing Defeats by the Iunan Excercitus and soon a Peace Deal was chartered where they were allowed to Settle in Italica, they settled in Samnitia, Trans-Tiberia and on the Gulf Coast aswell as the Western Italic Plains near the Tiber. They soon developed their own Unique Iunan Infused Culture as they assimilated, adding their own twist to Italic Culture, they served as Great Conquerers and Soldiers in the Iunan Military Service and even as Emperors. They gained even more notability in the wake of the collapse of the Western Iunan Empire as they established their own States in Western Lignuntia and Eastern Ottaria fighting back against the Gothic and Vandalic Invaders. Their Kingdoms were conquered by the Alpathdisk Turkic Caliphate in the 1400s and Rose up during 200 years of Oppression under the Turks, rejecting Islam but notably making up large amounts of their Janissary Corps. Today they are known for being Hard Workers, Fierce Warriors and very Strong-Willed and Passionate people.

The Gothic People of Lignuntia are descendants from the Ancient Ventigoths and Vandals who systematically divided and conquered the Western Iunan Empire, historically being the fiercest adversaries of the Iunans and age old enemies they hailed from what the Iunans called Germania which is theorised to be somewhere within modern Salamasia. They were given Foederati Status in the Late Western Iunan Empire and become the forefront of the Military, as the Empire’s power waned they Conquered the Empire and founded several of their own Kingdoms, but were soon Conquered and some tribes annihilated by the Eastern Iunans, Slavs and Arabs. They were confined to the Central Western and North Western Plains of Italica and remain there to this very day. They soon became heavily Iunanized and became an integral part of Lignunti Society post Reconquistio, fighting ferociously against the Alpathdisk Caliphate. They mixed with some Semitic Cultures like the remnants of the Phoenicians and Arabs giving to their modern unique looking characteristics, some looking heavily Germanic while others looking more Semitic. Gottica Province is known for Industry, Beauty, Culture and it’s people with a very friendly and liberal attitude known for their Fusion Cuisine, FKK + Saunas and creating the finest Machines for War and Domestic purpouses alike.
