Nariki people (also known as Narikatonites or Islanders) are a linguistic and ethnic sub-group of the Darnussians who speak the Narik language. Most scholars now agree that the Nariki people are not a truly separate racial sub-group due to mingling with the Kozari people over time, and instead that Nariki is simply an archaic term for ethnic Darnussians who's ancestry comes from the Islands and who's first language is Narik. This is due to the fact that in the modern day it is hard if not impossible to tell a Narikatonite from other Darnussians and vice versa. However it is commonly believed that those with lighter skin and hair have more Nariki blood in them than those with darker hair and darker skin.
