Lyziver
borea seterra
“They lived as Lyzivers now, speaking their harsh tongue and slowly forgetting that they had once existed as their own people with their own unique culture, values, and beliefs. Spread out over centuries, the changes had been slow and insidious to Commoners. To a Keeper, they had happened over a season.”

GEOGRAPHY
Description: Tundra, boreal forest, high alpine, savanna, steppes, and temperate broadleaf
History: For millenia, the Tuttuán lived on the northern shores; the Nukopan occupied the mountains and boreal forests; and the Talhümus summered near the plains and wintered on the steppes.
The Lyzivers, hailing from the Taigas settera, initiaed war for the Borea seterra 5,776 YBP. After winning the war, the native Tuttuáns were confined to the Bezoder Territory, while the native Nukopan were confided to the Drevdi Territory.
A subgroup of Talhümus called the Yiprāk continued to live in the Orgo Forest, paying taxes to the Lyziver King but otherwise largely autonomous for centuries prior to be absorbed into the larger kingdom.
Though the Talhümus no longer summered in southern Borea, they continued their nomadic lifestyle until the war with the Lyziver-Guǎdí Empire alliance, 3,570 YBP.
Following the war, the Lyziver Kingdom and Guǎdí Empire established clear boundaries; the Borea seterra was officially renamed Lyziver. Millennia later, the Lyizvers and Guǎdí Empire allied once more as the Republic, identifying the Imperium as their mutual enemy.
