Deutzan

Deutzan (Deutzani: ) also known as Malyan is a country that is located within the Third Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire. It is bordered by the Aurlûnor Velande and the Nandór Confederation to the west and south, and Ryzan to the east. Its capital and largest city is Haegiel, which is located on the western coast of the Phagosian Sea. Multiple settlements such as Syros-Luxor and Old Balreska dot the region, serving as major agricultural and commercial hubs for the country.

Deutzan has a long history of being a historically important region for many empires and kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Almador and the Dominion of Ashura. Deutzan would be founded on the ruins of an old Ashuran settlement that would grow into a proud trade settlement known today as Haegiel. At its height, Deutzan was a prosperous trading kingdom until its decline and downfall. The region would later on be heavily contested between the emerged Aurlûnor Velande, the Takumakken Empire and many iterations of Ryzan, as well as Bardonia. It would earn itself as one of the most contested regions in Rathnir, as well as home to the longest border dispute until it was resolved through Deutzan's joint vassalship between the Aurlûnoren Free State and Ryzan, which continued into the formation of the Third Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire.

Deutzan's majority faith is Twin Dragon, making it the only state in the world outside of Aurlûnor to have a majority in it. This is due to the Aurlûnorification policies left over by the second occupation, which created the Malyan Province, and from propaganda campaigns created by the local party, the Deutzani Nationalist Party. The second largest faith in the region is Tossanism, which has experienced a sharp decline since the War in Ryzan.
