Serinianni

The Serinianni are a race of people from central Soronipheä. Their territories lie amongst the northern tributaries of the Reisrasai, the Red Serpent of Saiän. They are to the north-east of the Gate Kingdom, directly north of Ira-Uspaz, Tiuann, Riun and Saiän, and north-west of Caxia.
Their cities are symbolised on ancient maps with a diamond shape.
Like most Soronipheän nations, as of the Fourth Century ABV the Serinianni had very little contact with the civilisations on the southern plains. However, in the year 303 ABV a Tālmoänni expedition to the two northernmost kingdoms, Kyana and Tiazi, shed some light on Seriniannic culture.
The Serinianni are described as a "dull nation", not given much to speech or overt displays of affection. According to the Tālmoänni chroniclers they revered poetry in a manner similar to the Gholan. They brewed mead from honey, and their priests wear copper axes. They reportedly kept only a few of the gifts offered by the Tālmoänni, casting the rest into the river. Whether this was to appease some riverine divinity, or born simply from a distrust of generosity, was not clear to the Saiännics.
In Kyana the Saiännics were met by a priest, either named or titled Sárusaghan. Priests were also the main interpreters of law in Tiazi, where the day-to-day administration was overseen by a council of ree men called the Jagila.
Tiazi was reigned over by a ceremonial king, who was viewed as a divine figure and was elected every nine years in an obscure contest "centred on poetry and mead". During the summer festival the king was tasked with deflowering the nine most beautiful virgins in the kingdom. On the winter soltice of the ninth year of his reign, the king is led to a hillside outside the city and beheaded.
