Lampropelt People

Lampropelt people are a recognized ethnic minority group in the Kingdom of Long. The people originate from northeastern Long, and their traditional homeland is the eastern Pteron highlands area as well as the western fjordland.

The Lampropelt are among the earliest cultivators of the Lotos plant which they use as a topical and oral analgesic as well as for some ceremonial rites.

The Lampropelt people focus more on family and community than the individual and they are thought of as a particularly “happy” people. The dresses made and worn by Lampropelt women are famous for the vibrant colors.

The Lampropelt people came under Long rule during the Naja dynasty. When the Long government conscripted Lampropelt men to serve in the military or couvee outside of their homeland the men failed to thrive. Today, some Lampropelts occupy administrative roles within their home region and a small number of families have relocated to other regions for career purposes.

The Lampropelt speak a distinct language in the Long language group, although today most members of the younger generations can speak standard Long.
