Zeno Ryiomand

Ryiomand the First, also known as Zeno Ryiomand, Zeno the Righteous; birth name: Zenous Aryio Mandus, was born according to the legendary account in the Book of Three Thrones on the first day of the first month, 39 AM, and died, again according to legend, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 96 AR (both dates according to the Prisawen calendar. He was the mythical founder of the Ocyrian Triumvirate and is the first to hold the Ruby Throne of Ludos named in the traditional lists of Triumvirates. The Ryiomand lineage traditionally based its claim to the Ruby Throne on its descent from Ryiomand the First.
== Name ==
The name "Ryiomand the First" is treated as the posthumous name of this mythical figure. In fact, being Parnan in form and Ayaten in implication, it must have been awarded centuries after the lifetime ascribed to him, as part of the compilation of legends about the origins of the Ryiomand lineage. Ryiomand, in Old Ocyrian, literally means "King of Men".
== Ryiomand's Migration ==
According to the Book of Three Thrones, Zeno was one of many sons of the refugees of Parnak that were displaced during the War of Sword and Serpent. His original home was in the lands of Marcheshvan, what is modern day Rastegar, before it became the structured kingdom of Marchesvan. His kin were attacked by the barbarians of Kjaougurax constantly from the southern coast and the unrelenting storms and the raids destroyed their coastal homes.
Zeno was so filled with hatred for his homeland that he sought to flee and find a land to call his own. Folk tales told of how the elves sheltered mankind and taught them everything they know. The Ayaten tradition is that all of mankind's suffering comes from the Fey, but it is their burden to bear. However, Zeno saw the folly of this tradition and sought to find a land he could call his own.
Others came to Zeno in hopes to aid him on his quest. Three of every four humans in Marcheshvan aided Zeno in his migration and joined him. After five years of struggle and ship construction, Ryiomand's Migration fled Marcheshvan and sailed east.
After almost five years at sea, Ryiomand and his people finally made it to a land they, though many had died at sea. But according to legend, Ryiomand himself went into the wilds of the unknown land and provided for his people.
It was on these unknown shores that Ryiomand, Dekan, and Beoreon constructed the three thrones and asked for the blessing of order and balance from the heavens, so that their rule would be fair to those who followed them into the unknown. It was here that the Ocyrian Triumvirate was formed.
Ryiomand the First's reign is peaceful and he outlived the other two triumvirates.
== Holiday ==
5 Rian in the Prisawen Calender was traditionally celebrated as the regal day of King Ryiomand the First. In 231 AR, the Ocyrian government proclaimed 1 Adar as the foundation day of Ocyria. This mythical date was commemorated in the holiday Era Day from 231 AR to present date.
