Yehudim
Their real world counterparts are the Jews. Present in most countries, their treatment ranges from acceptance to hatred. They were forcibly ousted from their homeland, Ainador, by the Suielman Empire, and the Ecclesia (which has its headquarters in the holy city of Yesulam) has discouraged their return.
Many people respect them as quiet, devoted servants of their chosen god1. The Ecclesia is far less sympathetic to them, and refers to them disparagingly "The Predecessors" (implying that their faith is obsolete since the rise of Eli's "true" chosen people).
