Dnení

Dnení is a term used in fictional geography and linguistics to describe a regional culture, language, and landscape in a hypothetical world. In most depictions, Dnení denotes a lowland river delta along the eastern coast of the imagined continent of Serinor. The region features a network of waterways, fertile floodplains, and a temperate climate that supports farming and craft production. Populations are typically small, numbering around 100,000 to 150,000 people, organized into kin-based communities that rely on river trade and agriculture.

The Dnení language is the region’s principal means of communication. It is described as analytic to mildly agglutinative, with flexible syntax and a tendency toward subject–verb–object order in neutral sentences. A rich system of aspect and mood markers accompanies a modest inventory of consonants and vowels. The script, known as the Dnení alphabet, comprises roughly 26 letters and is used in inscriptions and education, often alongside decorative symbols in religious and ceremonial contexts.

Historically, Dnení is depicted as arising from contact between inland farming communities and river traders. Literature emphasizes oral storytelling, ritual calendars tied to planting and harvests, and crafts such as weaving and boatbuilding. Contemporary depictions often stress environmental adaptation and civic cooperation in flood-prone landscapes.
