The East Goths are an ethnic and cultural group native to Yonderre, today considered part of (and thus largely replaced by) the Yonderian ethno-cultural group.
East Gothic culture, as distinct from its West Gothic neighbours, evolved in the later medieval period. Following the Conquest of Joanusterra the East Gothic culture further diversified in the early modern period, owing largely to Bergendii cultural influence. During the Yonderian Golden Age of the nineteenth century, the concepts of East Gothic and Bergendii cultural and ethnic groupings became muddled as a common Yonderian ethno-cultural group emerged, founded on principles formed through historical and cultural connections rather than based on racial heritage.
Some East Goths maintain their separateness from the common Yonderian group, a notable example being those who adhere to the ethno-nationalist Gothic People's Party.
