Treoniius

Treoniius is a fictional city-state and cultural center in the fantasy universe created by contemporary authors. In its lore, Treoniius sits at the confluence of the Veyrn River and the Northern Highlands and is regarded as the cradle of the Treoniiian civilization. The name combines the tribal root Treon with the -iius suffix common in many regional languages, signifying lineage and authority.

Geographically, Treoniius occupies a broad river valley, with terraced hills, reed marshes to the west, and fertile alluvial plains to the south. The climate is temperate, with wet winters and warm summers. The city is organized around an elevated acropolis and a secondary ceremonial ring, with residential districts arranged in a graded terrace pattern.

Historical accounts in the fiction describe Treoniius as founded in the late Bronze Age by farming and metalworking tribes. It became a regional capital during the Iron Age, developing a centralized priestly monarchy, monumental stonework, and early writing. A sequence of disasters, reforms, and external pressures culminated in a climactic event that marks the end of the great Treoniiian era.

Treonian society was stratified, with a priestly class at its apex and merchants and artisans below. The Treonian language employed a spiral script, and the Treonians produced intricate mosaics, sculpture, and metalwork. Religious life centered on sun and river deities, with annual festivals aligned to harvests and flood cycles.

In the fiction’s modern world, Treoniius is studied by scholars and archaeologists who reconstruct its urban planning and trade networks. The city functions as a symbol of urban resilience and cultural exchange, influencing neighboring polities and serving as a touchstone in worldbuilding discussions.
