Lauch Culture

The Lauch (also known as Lauch people or Lauchmen) are an indigenous ethnic group of Latora, and the primary culture in The Kingdom of Lauchette.

Appearance
Lauchmen are olive-skinned, dark-haired islanders. Their clothing is usually thin, often sleeveless, while their robes are usually decorated with gems.

Common personality traits and stereotypes
Most Lauch people are proud, wealthy compared to the average Aedwinian or Hallengardian. Even after their empire collapsed, they managed to keep their place as the biggest known trade power. They are rumored to have a larger army than the nations of the Hales, as well as a giant navy, which discourages their rivals to invade.

They are said to be very arrogant and narcissistic. It's a known fact that although Lauchette has a reliable army, theyir most common battlefield is psychological. They often choose to humiliate, threaten or simply torture their rivals into submission.

Even with their oversea territories stripped from them, Lauchette remained a world power and one of the biggest threat to the Kingdoms of The Hales.

Relations
Aedwinians: Although Lauchette now has a trade route and a weak diplomacy established with them; due to their origin, Lauchmen still consider Aedwinians to be traitors to the Lauch empire.

Hallengardians: Just like Aedwin, Lauchette has a treaty and a trade with the northern kingdom of The Hales. There are rumors about Lauchette trying to re-establish Loyalist Hallengard, as their vassal.

Winterlanders: They hold most respect for Winterlanders, however the cause of this may be their possibly fabricated claim on the empire.
