Solans (ethnicity)

The Solans are an ethnic group predominantly inhabiting the southern and eastern portions of Petrosa, where the Solan Territory was situated before its fragmentation. The Solan ethnicity is defined as much by the various closely-related cultural traditions adopted by its people as it is by genetics, although the latter definition is being increasingly eroded by the movement and spread of peoples across the world.

Solans tend to--but do not always--have red to dark brown hair and tan to brown skin. Most Solan communities speak the Solan language, of which numerous variants exist, as one might expect of a language with so wide a geographical spread.

Solan nations (nations of which more than half the population is of Solan descent) are largely situated within the old Solan Territory and its exclaves. They include:
 * Oro
 * Sonora
 * Astra
 * Aora
 * Onao
