Albans or the Alban people (Atlantic: Kinálbh) are a Celtic macro-ethnic group consisting of the indigenous peoples of Atlantica Alba who speak the Atlantic languages, an insular Celtic language family. Consisting of several distinct groups, the multiple Atlantic languages spoken on Atlantica Alba are often considered dialects of the most widely-spoken of these languages (Atlantic), and therefore so too are the Alban people often considered a single ethnic group, despite multiple internal differences beyond simply dialect/language.

The five ethnic groups native to five of the six Personal Realms are sometimes included in a macro-ethnic model of the Albans, as they also speak Atlantica languages, though these languages, being spoken on islands separate from Atlantica Alba, are virtually never considered simple dialects of Atlantic, and thus these five ethnic groups are more often classified as related to yet distinct from the Alban people.
