Sloveny

The Sloveny (Istoslovenski: Словены, Juzhoslovenski: Словени) were a Thinling nation who settled on the Thinlands after the Exodus. Prior to the Bloatfall, they inhabited the territory to the west of the Scoliotian Mountains known as Slovenska. They were one of the Twelve Nations who fled to the Thinlands.
Due to linguistic divergence, the Sloveny split into two ethno-linguistic groups within the Thinlands; these are the Istosloveny, who form the majority of the population within the Satemid Empire, and the Juzhosloveny, who founded trading settlements in the Semolis region, the remnants of whom inhabit Prikastel.
The Sloveny are the largest nation by both population and territory on the Thinlands. They are almost exclusively Eastern Orthodox Mormons. The ethnonym "Sloveny" continued to be used to refer to both the Istosloveny and Juzhosloveny.
=== Behind the Scenes ===
The Sloveny are based on the real-world Slavs, and constitute and amalgam of Slavic cultures, with particular emphasis on East-Slavic cultures (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, etc.).
