Ferreilia (region)

Ferreilia is a traditional region located between the northern coast of the Trade Lake and the Huon Range. While still referred to locally by some chauvinistic Astarcian lords, Ferreilia has elsewhere been forgotten, with southern Mezia taking its place geographically.
== Etymology & Definition ==
Ferreilia is named for Ferreilarios, a Kafetro-Vadyan warlord who prowled the area in the late 5th Century. The region is generally defined to be the area he ruled over - the towns of Eluneo, Sirio, Neza and Safcoro.
== Politics ==
Mention of the region is touchy at best - the region of Mezia is older, having its roots in the original colonisation of the area by a unique mixture of mediaeval Italians and Armenians. These are the ancestors of the Kafetro-Vadyans, more commonly known as the Astarcian people. 
Over time this area has become more Kafetran, losing many of the Armenian cultures and customs it originally had. It makes sense, then, that there would be unrest among those Astarcian noblemen who remain and resent their Kafetran overlords. They crave an Astarcian ruler, a return to the glory-days of the Astarcian Confederation, and to remember their roots while they simmer, they revere old Astarcian heroes - prime among whom is Ferreilarios. So they plot, and they plan, and they insist that southern Mezia is not, in fact, southern Mezia, but is Ferreilia.
