|Introduction=The '''Boiyende''' are a race of humans who inhabit the swamp realm of Balúrail. Like all humans, they are descendants of the [[Yendea]], the original humans who inhabited the realm of [[Dalel]] and who originally lived on the island of [[Haberria]]. Following the [[Great Migration]] that drew most humans away from Haberria around the year 0 of the Modern Era (ME), the ancestors of the Boiyende were among the peoples who eventually dispersed across the wider world'''.''' The Boiyende themselves arrived in Balúrail around the year 201 ME, settling first in the town of [[Saindo]] before expanding throughout the region and founding their capital, [[~~Harrowmere~~]], in 210 ME. Today they are organized under the [[League of Balúrail]], a government noted for its secretive governing structure.

|Origin and Nature=The Boiyende share the common ancestry of all humans, descending from the Yendea. Like the other human races, they trace their origin to the period following the Great Migration of the early Modern Era, though their settlement of Balúrail came roughly two centuries afterward.

|History=The Boiyende first came to Balúrail around 201 ME, establishing themselves in the town of Saindo. From this initial foothold they expanded throughout Balúrail, a process that brought them into repeated conflict with the Olsendi, the native inhabitants of the region. The consolidation of Boiyende settlement was marked by the founding of the capital city of ~~Harrowmere~~ in 210 ME, nine years after their arrival.

|Biology and Physical Traits=The Boiyende complexions tend to be cool-toned and pale. The face is typically broad and strong-featured. Eyes are most often light in color, ranging through pale blue, grey, and green. Hair tends to be light in coloring, is commonly straight or only lightly waved and fine in texture.

Owing to the influence and proximity of the Ascendant Spirit Mavai, the Boiyende are widely characterized as somewhat conspiratorial and secretive. This same inclination to keep secrets and mysteries close also fosters a strong drive to seek out answers and truths wherever possible, a tension that is held to produce conflict both internally, among the Boiyende themselves, and externally, in their dealings with others.

|Notable Individuals={{See also|Notable Boiyende}}

|Notable Settlements=~~Harrowmere~~, the capital of the League of Balúrail, is by far the largest city, with a population of approximately 440,000. The second largest city is [[Luzbá]], the capital of the state of Falanga, with a population of around 280,000.

Among the other regional capitals, [[Leban (city)|Leban]] is the capital of the [[Leban|state of the same name]] and has a population of roughly 94,000. [[Arremíria]] is the capital of the state of [[Urala]], with a population of about 47,000. [[Trael (city)|Trael]], the capital of the [[Trael|state of Trael]], is the smallest of the regional capitals, with a population of approximately 35,000.

|Spirituality and Beliefs=The majority of Moprusi follow Parethinism, which is also the state religion of the League. According to official figures, the majority of Boiyende subscribe to it, although the precise number of worshippers is unknown. Many of the larger towns contain churches devoted to the religion. As with much of Boiyende public life, the secrecy that characterizes the wider society extends to religious participation, leaving official membership figures difficult to verify.
