'''Pyrrhians''' (High Pyrrhian: ''Pyrrhiae'') are the natives inhabitants of Western Arith past the Galeus River, and sometimes more broadly any people who are of Pyrrhian descent. Today, the majority of Pyrrhians reside within the [[Holy Solarian Empire]], and more specifically within the Reunited Kingdom of Pyrrhia and Averonia, which is predominantly Pyrrhian dominated. Today, having a Pyrrhian lineage is widely seen as the exclusive criterion of Pyrrhian identity, as the language of High Pyrrhian has spread widely due to it's religious connections to the [[Solaris|Solarian Faith]].

The history of Pyrrhians as an ethnic group began thousands of years ago, undersupposedly forgottenin the Gardens of circumstancesErses. Ancient Pyrrhian ballads and songs (such as the Oath of Íor) indicateand thatthe Pyrrhiad) reference the Pyrrhians originatedorigins being from a large island which later sank, forcing their emigration to the lands of Western Arith where they lived nomadic and druidic lifestyles following the laws of [[Ceiltean Druidism]]. Contemporary scholars, and archaeologists have continued researching the sudden sinking of the hypothesised Pyrrhian homeland - referred toknown as '''Pyrrianor'''- and the linguistics around it, the word Pyrrhian meaning "ManDescendant of the West" or "WestmanPyrrhos".
