Flag of Deparja

## History

The creation of the Deparja region marked a significant change for the people of Valcrest. For many years, the region had been a vibrant and prosperous part of the country, with a rich history and culture that set it apart from the rest of the nation. However, with the absorption of Valcrest by Greenstem, the people of the region found themselves under new leadership..

The creation of Deparja was a response to this. It was designed to give the people of the region a sense of autonomy and control over their own affairs, while also ensuring that they remained part of the larger Greenstem nation. The name Deparja, meaning "The Land of the Reborn" in Semhudi, reflected the hope and optimism that many felt about the region's future under this new arrangement.

One of the unique features of Deparja was its diarchal system of government. The region was jointly governed by the Mayor of Felesia and the Mayor of Neora, who worked together to make decisions and set policy for the region. This system of shared power reflected the desire of the people of Valcrest to maintain their own distinct identity and culture, while also working closely with their neighbors in Greenstem.

Although Neora was the capital of Deparja, the largest city in the region was Felesia. This was due in part to Felesia's long history as a cultural and economic center in Valcrest, as well as its strategic location at the heart of the region. The people of Felesia were proud to be part of the new Deparja region, and they worked hard to ensure that their city continued to thrive and grow under this new arrangement.

## Races

### Humans

Main article: Humans
Humans are the most common member of their entire group, and are the fastest growing and most numerous species in both Rathnir and Eldham. Humans originated somewhere in neither Rathnir nor Eldham; some theorize that all humans migrated from Jagdas in various waves, or from another unknown continents. Human habitation in Rathnir began anywhere from 140,000 to 80,000 years ago; old human cultures like the Guren of southern Syltör were some of the first to become known to archaeologists. Since the development of agriculture about 11,000 years ago, humans saw themselves become one of the most powerful races in the world, especially with the discovery of magic and enchantment. They would go on to create various nation states that still stand today. Human civilizations arose independently in Rathnir, Eldham, and Jagdas- the latter of which was said to have sank to the bottom of the ocean. Only a few Jagdasian civilizations like Yimmu-Audal survived the collapse of Jagdas.
