	(Ar-KON-tee-ehns) Properly the term refers to the humans from the city of Archontos, capital of the empire on the island of Mithruin, but it has come to refer to any citizen of the empire, regardless of where they reside. Archonteans are typically medium height (5’4” to 5’7”), with black or dark brown hair and olive-colored skin. Those from Imperial families can be arrogant when dealing with others, even while deferring to the myriad social hierarchies that govern diverse Archontean society.
