Other places, languages, and ethnicities

In the course of the stories, Sanctuary has changed hands from an independent city run by Ilsigi exiles, to a Rankan outpost, a Rankan outpost with a Beysib in the palace, to a Dyareelan-controlled city, to an Irrune-occupied city, to a city being quietly reclaimed by Rankans. Along the way it is populated by the many people of the world it resides in. Here are some of those people.
==== The people of Ranke ====
Rankans. Languages common Rankene and High or Court Rankene, which is not understood outside of the aristocracy. From the western part of the peninsula.
Gods include father/sun Savankala, mother Sabellia, son/warrior Vashanka, daughter/betrayer Azyuna.
The Rankans seem to be modelled loosely on ancient Rome.
==== The people of Ilsig ====
Ilsigi. Language Ilsigi. Eastern part of the peninsula
Gods include Ils of a Thousand Eyes
Ilsig seems to be loosely based on the ancient Persian Empire.
==== The people of Bey ====
Beysib. Language Beysib. From across the sea.
Gods include Mother Bey. Matriarchal society with a living queen/goddess.
Beysib appears to be based on the ancient Minoan people.
==== The S'danzo ====
S'danzo language. Wandering people without a homeland.
Godless people, which gets them into trouble with others.
The S'danzo appear to be based on the Romani people.
==== The Nisibisi people ====
Nisi language. From Nisibis, the land north of the Wizardwall mountains.
Unlike others, their magic is not reliant on gods but rather on an innate power, for which they are labeled 'witches'.
==== Mygdon ====
Mygdonian kingdom, run by a warlord, and author of the Mygdonian Alliance encompassing the "known world" north of Wizardwall.
==== The Irrune people ====
Irrune language. Nomadic people from the wastelands of the peninsula.
Irrunega is their primary god.
Despite visually resembling Rankans, they seem to be loosely based on the historical Mongols.
==== The Dyareelans ====
Most gods in this setting are ethnic--the Ilsigi have Ils, the Rankans have their pantheon, and neither seeks to convert the other except to acknowledge who conquered who. The worshippers of the Bloody Mother Dyareela turn this on its head by seeking converts. They enter Sanctuary with promises of law and order, extracting only tokens of loyalty, but escalate into a reign of blood and terror. Their presence divides the history of Sanctuary into two distinct eras, the Rankan/Beysib and the Irrune, the first generation of books and the second. Outside of their penchant for flaying, the arc of the Dyareelans neatly mirrors modern fascism. 
==== The Bandarans ====
? From an island across the sea
