The Veikan peoples are the primary inhabitants of modern day Veikaia or more broadly anyone of Veikan descent or a native speaker of the Veikan language. Veikans are not originally native to the territories of modern day Veikaia, migrating into the area in the late 10th century. The Veikan people originate from _, where they had lived for centuries prior to their migration. Veikans are a generally homogeneous group, with the main differences between the Veikan people being dialect and other language-based differences. The majority of Veikans live within Veikaia, but several Veikan minority groups can be found across Anterra in small numbers.

Historically, Veikans were forced to migrate from their original homeland by the _ peoples of Modrovia, which had recently began expanding into Veikan territory in the early 10th century. The emigration by Veikan tribes from northern Modrovia happened in waves and took over a century, with most experts believing the main bulk of Veikan migration ended in the 11th century. Not much is known of the pre-migration Veikan peoples, with most of their history being lost to the invading _ forces, but several ancient Veikan settlements and pieces of artwork have been found through the years across northern Modrovia. The Veikan tribes migrated into the north-eastern territories of what now compose modern day Veikaia, where they seized the land from local Veigothic tribes which were also forced to migrate westwards. Shortly after their migration, the tribes of Veikaia were quickly and swiftly unified under the Kingdom of Vipusk which through the centuries expanded into Veigothic territory and overran the many tribes and kingdom in the area, eventually forming the Kingdom of All Veikans (Known for short as the Kingdom of Veikaia) with the ascension of Veisland I to the throne in 1283 AD. The Veikans continued to interact with the Veigoths in the area, eventually also annexing a large number of Veikan duchies in the south-west of the country, and adopted many facets of Veigothic and Litanian culture as their own. By the 15th century the Kingdom of Veikaia incorporated the majority of the modern day territories of Veikaia and united the Veikan peoples under a single unified state.
