## History

The origin of the buyanese, is in part related to Zerrikania. since their first records indicate that their main ancestors came from there, being emigrants during the Golden Age of the Matriarchy when this one had a great influence in the east.

This is also reflected in their customs, their main religion for example is a variant of Zerrikanian beliefs about dragons and its language is a variation of the Zerrikanian dialect influenced by the languages of Melukka and Feiwo.

But it is also related to the Melukka nations closest to the territory and the Okami Islands. Since the immigration of Melukka and the imperial period of the Okami Islands in which Buyan became part of its territory through the marriage of the Emperor of the Islands with the Dragon Queen ended up defining the Buyanese as they are today, a mixture of zerrikanians, melukkans and okamese people. From an indeterminate time until 1284, the kingdom was ruled by Chalik, a dictator. He was overthrown by the Fabio Sachs expedition and Kai Yih.
