--OVERVIEW--

Jelbic people are the oldest and largest cultural group in Jelbe. They migrated to the region long ago from northern Seleya. Unlike many other in-game groups, the Jelbic people do not have a single real-life equivalent. Jelbic culture is based on aspects of various Eurasian peoples. The most important influences are Turkic peoples, Mongol peoples and Uralic peoples. Jelbic people speak a fictional, constructed language (see below for more information on language).

Jelbic people are divided into particular ethnic groups. In Jelbe, the three most significant groups are Jelbék people, Wrnukaék people and Brmék people. Each group speaks a distinct dialect of the Jelbic language. Jelbék people are further divided into two sub-groups: Steppe Jelbék and Settled Jelbék. Steppe Jelbék (or Jeztaghé Jelbék) are predominantly nomadic and adhere to strict traditions, clan loyalties and cultural taboos. Settled Jelbék (or Jeztaghényr Jelbék) mostly live in towns and cities with a culture inspired by the countries of Central Asia.
