Did anyone else notice that Janner is more Hollish than he is Annieran?
For the past four generations, the High Kings and Queens or the Shining Isle have fallen in love with Hollowfolk.
(We don't know any further back than High king Lander, so we will assume he is mostly Anniera and thus our bloodline base point)
Lander (Annieran) marries Illia Finley (Hollish)
Madia (50% Annieran 50% Hollish) marries Ortham Greensmith (Hollish)
Jru (75% Hollish 25% Annieran) marries Nala Durbin (Hollish)
Esben (87.5% Hollish 12.5% Annieran) marries Nia (50% Hollish 50% Skreean)
Janner & co.
=
25% Skreean 68.75% Hollish and only 6.25% Annieran!
that's some serious math
Since Yurgen and the dragons tunnelled beneath what is now the sunken mountains and separated what is now the Isle of Anniera from what is now the Green Hollows, they were once one land. So I do think that actually the Annierans and Hollish are sister peoples — like how the Scottish are descended from the Irish (and mixed with the Vikings), and both have Celtic ties. So I think they both are very similar in blood, culture, and language (the First Book was in Old Hollish).
But I never did the math! That’s crazy!!😱
That’s cool
Very interesting
I guess they're the jewels of The Green Hollows now!
😱
That's probably the case with the British royal family. I was reading into their line a few years ago, and they have a lot of German, French, Scandinavian, and other stuff. Only a very small percentage of their ancestry would be from Anglo-Saxons.
That's interesting!
Like Andrea said, I'm pretty sure the Hollows and Anneira used to be one kingdom historically before the island of Anneira was carved off of the land.
I hadn't done the math, but it DID occur to me that the Wingfeather kids had a LOT of Hollish blood! But perhaps the Green Hollows and Anniera used to be one (much larger) country (Anyara) before the dragons sank the mountains and broke the earth. They always remained close allies, and even though their cultures ended up being very different, maybe they could still be considered one "people."
