Rithanni Tribes

Rithanni tribes are all the tribes that originate from the Golden Union of Rithann. Some of them still exist today, some have their own independent nations and some have been assimilated to other nations or have ceased to exist.

Etymology
The name for this coalition of tribes derives from the sironian word "Ythan" which means "fort". Some others claim that this word comes from the Yavanian language and means "coalition".

Origins
When the Duchy of Nayr got its independence from Tortuga, it immediately found itself in a precarious position, as it was surrounded by a lot of enemy nations that could pose a future threat. This is why soon after it became a vassal state of Tortuga, and then later proceeded to unite with the city of Akratia, thus forming the Golden Union of Akratia, which was later renamed to Golden Union of Rithann. Due to it being an amalgamation of tribes, it saw many revolts and a lot of inner disputes, that were not so easily solved (mainly between Sorrenian and Greenstem tribes). Later on, people from Phoenisia wanted to declare their own state, but ended up leaving and settling on an island currently known as Banshee's Wail, and are now Kingslandian Vikings. During april 2022, GUR saw massive amounts of inactivity and saw itself being fully incorporated back into Tortuga once again.

Tortugakratians (extinct)
This specific tribe was amongst the few that had good relations with Tortuga, but also didnt forget their ancient roots and hadnt completely severed their ties to Akratia, as they descried their tribe as "akratian", while still being loyal to SexyCanadian. Until recently, they owned the town of Nayr, but once that town got owned by a Lechnian called SherpaFranka, Tortugakratians ceased to exist.

Yavanians (merged with the Lechnians)
Yavanians are a human tribe that does not have its origins from Rathnir, being recently new to the continent, arriving first as farmers at Avaria. They later tried to settle in the Tarneosi mountains, but got kicked out by the Hirfarum dwarves and were forced to settle in Hinomir for a brief period. After helping the Wivamovians, the Hirfarum king offered land to the Yavanis, who settled in the outmost south of the Tarneosi mountain range. After their recognition from Tortuga they slowly begin to grow and become a self sufficent and active town that slowly expanded over time and still exists today. They also had major influence in the GUR, as the Yavane leader was appointed as a regent of the diarchy. They are also responsible for the revival of old towns, such as atridia, issar, santa fe and estavuun, although atridia and issar had Yavani populations (despite the fact they did not consider themselves Yavanis at that time). After the fall of GUR, only Yavanarad remained, and it merged with Atridia.

Lechnians (honorary member, merged with the Yavanians)
Lechnians are a tribe that origianted from the north and decided to settle in the west coast of the Tarneos lake. They later decided to make a union with the Yavanians, forming the Yavano-Lechnian commonwealth and fighting side by side during the revolt. They are currently prospering and growing in numbers.

Valkresti
They have a history of being Greenstem's owners, until they got deposed by Leythians. They migrated south and made a town called Krestiana, which played a prominent role in Valondor's history, until they got annexed by Tortuga and deposed again. They no longer exist as an independent tribe.

Sorrenians
Located on the east coast of the akratian peninsula, Sorrenburn was the original home of the Sorrenian peoples. They frequently provoked the Valkresti with their expansionist policies, until their leader was forced into exile. They later managed to create their own independent nation on the northwest coast of the Akratian peninsula, which managed to survive, despite the frequent raiding. It eventually got annexed by Tortuga.

Kingslandians
The Viking nation of Kingsland has its humbe origins in the GUR nation, with it's leader having a small town near Sorrenburg, Pheonisians later managing to declare it's own independent state and leaving afterwards. This tribe later migrated northwards to an island, becoming a pretty strong and stable nation that lasted for a respectful amount of time, before being forced to migrate south to Haven. They are currently located in the sea of Paloro and are prospering.

Pheonisians
The Pheonisians are the descendants of that small independent state of GUR that didnt end up migrating for new lands. After the GUR collapsed, some of the citizens had their own religion, which resulted in them being persecuted by their western neighbors, Greenstem garfists. During Valondor's rise they ended up being annexed. After a while, though, they wanted to declare independence and they were ready to do so, but before they got the chance, Tortuga annexed Valondor as was agreed between the two nation leaders. The pheonisians still exist today as part of Tortuga.
