Yavanii

The Yavanii, also referred to as Yavanians, Yavanis and Yavanistanis in Traveler's Tongue. are a tribe that have arrived from a distant land. They belong to the human race and are present in the Kingdom of Cheroneadr, Tortuga, and the Third Akratian Empire. The last remaining Yavanis survived alongside Akratia, dwelling in their home of Yavania till the comet fell.
== History ==
=== Origins ===
This tribe used to have its home in the legendary kingdom of Cheroneadr, where they used to live in harmony. However one day, enemies from the South attacked unexpectedly and massacred both the guards and the civilians. The few Yavanii that survived fled to the North, seeking for new lands, thus reaching Rathnir. Their leader did his best to accuire money so that they can have a new place to settle and ended up working as a miner and farmer in the Kingdom of Avaria.
=== Avaria ===
On 1st September 2021, SimpleKnight decided to become a citizen of the Hidden Valley. He stayed there for 3 days, in which he made a new farm. He also helped in making some watchtowers with campfires and some wall fortifications in the brief Avarian civil-war. On September 4th he decided to leave and ended up making a settlement on the Tarneosi mountains.
=== First settlement ===
After the leader had managed to get shulkers and money, he settled next to a town called Hirfarum, where he named his settlement "Yavanya". The settlement was 6 chunks and it had a mine, a town hall, chicken&cow farms, pumpkin/wheat/potato farms. But Hirfarum dwarf King was displeased of the new "squatter settlement" so he gave an ultimatum to SimpleKnight and they both began negotiations. On 6th of September, SimpleKnight agreed to leave after demolishing most of the settlement and migrated again to Hinomir.
=== Hinomir ===
Hinomir's Architecture stunned the Yavanian Leader, thus making him want to stay there indefinately. He agreed to help with tower and harbor constructions and made frequent use of the town's port for fishing. At 14th of September, an unexpcted surprise awaited him. He got notified by the Hirfarum King that he is allowed to return to the mountains, giving him the southernmost piece. Thus Yavanarad was created and finally, the tribe had a place to call home.
== Culture ==
Yavanis are in general very welcoming, peaceful and quiet. Their goal is to obtain as many virtues as possible and to better themselves in every skill there is (i.e. combat, building, parkour etc). Their motto is "Time will make us stronger". They will not be the ones initiating attacks and would rather use their skills for defence.
Although peaceful, they are not willing to tolerate any provocations and would answer in kind.
== Towns ==
The current town they are living in is called Yavanarad and it is located in the Tarneosi Mountains. It helped at the rebirth of the duchy's abandoned towns like Atridia and Equilibrium.
== Tribes ==
=== Arachei ===
The Arachei are the oldest of the tribes, their name meaning "the beginners". This is the tribe that played a crucial role during the migration to Rathnir and the first days of Yavanarad town.
=== Taxarei ===
When Yavanarad and Atridia merged, the Neo-Atridians got assimilated into Yavanian culture. The unofficial beginnings of this tribe was when Terron cut off ties with Yavanarad and want off to make his own religion. During the 2nd Lionorian revolt, Arachei and Taxarei fought against each other, as Taxarei struggled for independence, while the Arachei wanted to restore order within the nation. Leaders of the recent Commonwealth fight for independence all belonged to the Taxarei tribe. They afterwards claimed Yavanarad for themselves, but this marked their end as a tribe.
