Olennaines

Olennaines is a fictional region in the fantasy world of Lysoria, known for its agricultural heartland and network of river valleys. It comprises a patchwork of counties, towns, and forests, with a history that stretches back to early trade and settlement.

Geographically, Olennaines occupies a temperate zone with a coast on the western sea and interior hills to the east. The region is traversed by the Adein and Leth rivers, which support fertile floodplains and markets. The climate supports cereal crops, orchards, and grazing.

Archaeological records indicate Olennanean populations in the Iron Age, followed by medieval city-states that formed loose confederations. Trade routes through river valleys fostered cultural exchange and urban growth. The region was incorporated into the Crownlands during the early modern era and has since developed a mixed agricultural and artisanal economy.

Olennaines is home to several ethnic communities, speaking Olennainen and Common. Cultural life centers on markets, festivals, and guilds in regional towns. Religious life includes a variety of faiths, with a tradition of local monasteries and shrines.

The economy is dominated by agriculture—grain, fruit, and livestock—along with timber and crafts. River trade and small-scale manufacturing support local markets.

Politically, Olennaines is governed by a regional council elected by landholders, with a regional governor representing the central crown. Law is based on the Olennainen Code, supplemented by customary rights and municipal ordinances.

Notable sites include the Mistspire Cathedral, Silverford Market, and the Old Observatory, reflecting religious, commercial, and scientific traditions.
