The autonomous region of Anguist, officially known as the Principality of Anguist, is the last remaining hold-out from centuries of invasions. Archaeological record indicates that Lethe was first settled by a people culturally related to the Caledonii of ancient northwestern Scotland, in particular one of the unnamed tribes that formerly inhabited the Hebrides. Historical record reveals that like their cultural cousins, the Picts, the ancient Anguistians tattooed their skin, often using a substance made of copper oxide to produce a blue tint. They also used the reddish clay soil in their hair, presumably to fend off the voracious midges that inhabit parts of the island during the short summer months.
