The Caenish people, also known as Caens, are an ethic group native to Levantia. Originating in Gothica as a subset of the Gothic people, the ancestors of the Caens departed their homeland to raid and resettle in Great Levantia. By the beginning of the 4th century, many Caens settled permanently in and around Canaery, from which the people derive their name; their control over it was confirmed in 310 AD. Unlike some other Gothic groups, most Caens readily adopted the Catholicism of Great Levantia in the late 4th century. From there, many participated in the Crusades, and during the medieval period Caens gained a reputation for bravery in battle and competence at seafaring, bringing many into the employ of the predecessor states of Burgundie.
Caens gained full integration into Urcea in the 19th century, and many Urcean Caens consider themselves both Caenish and Urcean as part of the Urcean sociological principle of dual identity.
History
Identity
Caenish identity has long been a source of dispute within Caenish communities. Though it was not always so, most Caens now accept that they are part of or at least adjacent to Urcean people, whom Caens often call "vallois" - "valleyites."
Languages
Culture
Caenish culture is a distinct part of the culture of Urcea, with Caens having many unique social mores, traditions, and extremely digergent tastes from the Urcean mainstream.
Caenish musical tastes more broadly adhere to the music of Sarpedon. Country music, the predominant genre of music throughout Urcea, has only limited relevance in Greater Canaery and among Caens abroad.
Genetics
The vast majority of Caens can only trace a small part of their genetic heritage to ancient Gothica. For most, Gaelic and Istroyan, with some Latinic heritage making up the largest shares of Caenish genetics. Modern genetics proved what nany historians suspected, namely that the Caenish invasion only consisted of a very small number of invaders who imposed their culture on the local population.
