Arânzeni Confederation

The Arânzeni Confederation is a confederation of Arânzeni city-states in the realm of Khamria. Founded in 450 ME, it occupies the Baviare Vale and also claims the Barerte Waste and the Șire Bișit. Each member city is governed by its own council, while the Council of Lavierin holds ultimate authority over the Confederation as a whole. Its capital and largest city is Lavierin.

The Arânzeni arrived in Khamria in 300 ME and for the following 150 years lived as loose tribal bands. In 450 ME, a number of these bands united to form the Confederation. The tribes of the Barerte Waste refused to join. They held to a stricter form of Parethism and to religious law, and would not accept the civil law of the Confederation. Their descendants continue to inhabit the Barerte Waste, outside the Confederation's direct control.

The Confederation is centered on the Baviare Vale, a highland basin in central Khamria lying between the Așdilu Mountains and the Ilergierze Mountains. The Vale includes the subregions of the Binzir Hills, the Ingur Basin, Lurțilia, and Vale’s Edge. The Confederation also claims the Barerte Waste, which remains under the control of its tribal inhabitants, and Șire Bișit, which is uninhabited. Settlements throughout the Confederation are connected by the Deep Roads, a network of subterranean passages beneath the mountains of Khamria.

The spirits associated with the Confederation include Yairan, the Primordial Spirit of Earth; Yala, the Ascendant Spirit of history and memory; and the Ancestral Spirits Mount Arînzbianz, Iorie, and Săilean, the guardian of Lepigisțil. Biseri, the Ancestral Spirit of the Deep Roads, is also revered throughout the Confederation.
