Dineria

Dineria is a sovereign state in central Lasef. The kingdom includes the cities of Syasis, Lalostega, and Marlin, as well as the Lukyria Forest and Armatis Archipelago. Trawndell is under the control of Dineria from 270 to 399.

Its capital city is Syasis.

History
Dineria was founded by Dineris, one of the most prolific and charismatic conquerors in the history of Gleden. In the early centuries, Dineria was impoverished and warlike.

Under the leadership of a prophet in the mid-3rd century, Dineria becomes a powerful nation. From the mid-3rd to mid-4th centuries, Dineria is militaristic and expansionist and rules all of Lasef except for the Ethrogia Mountains and Lukyria Forest. It exceeds all previous Lasefi empires in size and power. During this time, the provinces are fairly autonomous, though each overseen by a Dinerian official (loyal non-Dinerian subjects can become honorary Dinerians in this capacity), and taxes are low and often stored locally until needed by the central government.

From 270 to 399, Dineria rules Trawndell. In 749, the Landing family is removed from the Dinerian throne. In 754, the Landing family is restored to throne. In 797, provinces on the eastern edge of the nation seek independence. In 800, Dineria marches on Ethrogia.

Demographics
The outer regions of Dineria, such as Marlin and Armatis, are very ethnically diverse, but the central desert is occupied primarily by people of Ysef descent. This includes many ethnolinguistic minorities descended from tribes that were conquered by Dineris and his successors, such as the Kall tehta.

The two most common languages spoken in Dineria are Dinerian and Lasefi. Gledenese is not widely spoken.

Aspectism is the official religion of Dineria. City-states and villages tend to have local aspects for each of the basic elements. Temples contain statues of the Aspects, honored with ritualized animal sacrifices, usually of goats. The king is the head of Dinerian religion. Religious devotion holds the community together despite wealth disparities.

Naming conventions
Male given names often end with S or N. Female given names often end in -il. Grandchildren often named after grandparents. Surnames are typically passed down through the father, but a woman does not change her surname upon marriage.
