Pazist Diaspora

In Mid July of 2022, the United Kingdom of Paz Firainya was forcefully annexed by the Bardonian Empire, leaving many Pazists feeling betrayed by both the Bardonians, and by their own King. Their home which they had inhabited for Millenia was once again under the control of a foreign power.
People began to panic, and riots broke out on the streets of Kyshoul during the initial transition period.
Eventually, Members from Paz's Noble Houses met with the cityfolk of the former-nation in the Tawir Community Centre to discuss the survival of their people.
No one could agree on the future, however; should they stay on the islands under the leadership of Governor Houser? Or should they go elsewhere? Many options were discussed, and soon, Sides began to form.
This indecisiveness among the populous was a pivotal moment for the future of the Paz people, as they were no longer were they united, but rather, over time, they separated into different tribes, scattered all across the western world.
== New Tribes ==
=== Pazists ===
Those who accepted Bardonia's rule decided to stay in their ancestral homeland and diverged very little from the ways of the ancients. They, therefore remained known as the Pazists. Instead of the Kingdom, however, these people were under the leadership of Governor Houser, the former Dictator of the Island's North. While the culture on La Paz hasn't strayed much in terms of traditions, it, in some capacity, remains suppressed under Bardonian and Houser's Leadership.
=== Paztecas ===
Led by the Noble Advisor to the King, Duskic, this group left La Paz Isle and became Nomadic for a short period of time. They wandered mainland Syltor, following game, and began to adopt customs and traditions from all the groups they encountered. Eventually, after several months of wandering, Lord Duskic had enough. He and his men marched towards the Bardonian Capital and demanded the Treaty of Kyshoul, the deal that transferred ownership of the islands to Bardonia, be renegotiated. Instead of renegotiating, the Bardonian Emperor, Shanks, offered Duskic land in the Empire's newly acquired Raykara Province as an apology, to which Dusk accepted. The Nomadic lifestyle of Dusk's followers were soon abandoned, and small settlements were established in the mountains of Raykara. 
People of Paz Descent living in the mountains of Raykara are now known as the Pazteca. They have adapted wildly to this new environment, relying heavily on trade and cooperation amongst themselves, and even rekindled their relationship to the old Cardinalist Gods by blending them into Dandelism in a process known as syncretism. 
=== Firainyians ===
This group, mostly of Farafinite descent, refused cooperation with Bardonia, and also refused to move to Syltor. With no where left to turn, the group's unlikely leader, Sabrillo Vontazuum, asked the Huitca Successor States, whom Paz Firainya had historically had great relationships with, for assistance.
A deal was soon arranged between Centaris and Sabrillo's followers; they could take over the ruined town of Var'nir in the State of Quagero in exchange for their loyalty to the Republic, to which he accepted.
This group adopted the name Firainyian, meaning Sea dweller in Paz Creole, in the process. Culture-wise, the Firainyians differ very little from that of the Pazists; Centaris, and more specifically the Provinces of of Zoquiyo, Quia'jal, and Bradecblight, whom are all next door, hold very similar cultural traditions to the Firainyians due to their shared Hiarllii Heritage. 
The only major thing that has changed is the environment. No longer are the Firainyians on their tropical isle, rather they're in a largely infertile river delta on the edge of the Quagero Desert. This group has had to remain strong, and resilient, and has found new ways of surviving on the land.
Var'nir has since grown into a thriving community of a few thousand people, and now holds the only port in the Province of Quagero. 
=== Pazateans ===
The Pazists loyal to Queen ThyFuto, decided to make the Long Trek Eastward towards their homeland in Plagos. They are the most mysterious out of all the splinter groups, as little is known about them due to their distance from the Paz homeland. What is known however, is that they have largely adopted the customs and traditions of those in Plagos, and will soon be entirely assimilated to the central Plagatean Culture.
=== Snyfari ===
This group, led by King Quiazumoc, fled westward from La Paz towards the Tsars Folly Peninsula. 
They remain largely isolationist, doing little to no diplomacy, so not much is known about them.
