A broadly used term within the Hegemony of Lorean. It usually means 'Humans who are from Arzul Sector', but the meaning can be extended to 'of, or relating to, Arzul Sector'.
Occasionally, the word is used as a synonym for "Lorean". It is not to be confused with "Arzulan", the previous term for these people, which became a synonym for pitiless, cruel contempt. This construction is still used when discussing linguistics: see, Arzulan (language).
The Ethnicity[edit]
Racially, the Arzula are dominantly Vilani in ancestry, with strong 'minor notes' of Solomani Slavic and Arabic heritages. Assorted minor Human groups, now largely extinct as discreet races, also influence bloodlines across the Arzul Sector. Most notable of these is the Kedepu, heavily interbred with the Arzula.
Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of
- A Vilani conformity and caution,
- A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
- A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.
Their imagined destiny is as the catalyst of the Last Man, which will at once destroy all their nonhuman enemies, bring Humaniti across the next evolutionary level, and insure the glory of the Arzula people forever.
Locations[edit]
The Arzula culture is established in the following regions:
