[color=gray][list]Alban is a land of mountains, hills, and forests and it would surely be difficult for anyone to find any part of it that is truly flat, except for a few of its mountain valleys. Despite being sparsely populated, Alban is rich in natural resources -- metals ready to be mined in its mountains, lumber from its many forests, fish that can be found along its stormy coasts, and more. The region is divided into two distinct parts -- the Highlands and the Lowlands -- with each being ruled over by clans that ultimately owe their loyalty to the King of Alban. The clans of Alban are notorious for their large personalities and fighting one another, even for the most petty of slights, and it remains something that often requires a great deal of oversight when under a capable king, whilst at the same time it may very well threaten to boil over into full-blown anarchy under a weak king. On average, the Albans tend to be both tenacious and honorable, uplifting ancient traditions such as guest right, and can always be expected to attain their rightful vengeance against those who have wronged them. However, this is hardly without exception, and one may find that the men of Alban are capable of holding many dark secrets.[/list][/color]

[color=gray][list]The Albans are generally divided into two distinct groups of people, Lowlanders and Highlanders, but both are almost entirely indistinguishable from one another beyond certain cultural oddities. They are pale, much more so than most, but certainly not to the same degree as their cousins to the north. On average, Albans are taller, stockier, and bulkier than most other men, often giving off an intimidating and almost wild presence while in the company of others. They usually are brown of hair, though it is common enough for those who live in Northern Alba to have hair that is light brown or even blond, while red hair remains a rarity. Eye colors are subject to much the same level of diversity, but green, blue, and variants thereof have long since become the most common. Overall, a hard land has created a hard people, leaving them largely unconcerned with the niceties observed among other groups of people, and leading many to primarily pursue activities with a martial focus.

[color=gray][list]After near a thousand years of continuous Imperial rule over the entire continent, two unique identities have since developed within Alban; those who live within the somewhat fertile and wooded stretches of land that is known the Lowlands, as well as those who have chosen to make their home towards the northern mountainous regions, in what is aptly referred to as the Highlands. Of the two, the Lowlands has almost always been more influenced by the trappings of Imperial culture, ever since the initial conquest of the Alban tribes.[/list][/color]
