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]]. | The '''Caenish people''', also known as '''Caens''', are an ethic group native to [[Levantia]].

==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" - "[[The Valley (Urcea)|valleyites.]]" | |||
==Languages== | |||
==Culture== | |||
Caenish culture is a distinct part of the [[Culture of Urcea|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 people|Gaelic]] and [[Istroyan|Istroyan]], with some [[Latinic people|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. | |||
