Ryeva, formally the State of Ryeva is an autonomous state within Faneria located in northern Levantia along the Nahe Sea. Bordered to the south by Yytuskia-Helvana and to the east by Culriocha, the nation is centered on the Nahe River and surrounding valley, its borders made up by natural features. The southern border is defined by the Toran Alps, which extends up to the eastern border, while the western border is defined by the Nahean Alps and the Baie River. Perhaps the most significant geographic feature is the long-disputed Dreisen River along the border of Culriocha, which has historically been one of the largest geopolitical flashpoints on the continent. Despite being surrounded by mountains and rivers, Ryeva's survival over previous centuries was as a result of the Ryeva Lowlands which includes some of the most fertile soil in the world, and for thousands of years transformed the region into a major producer of food and a center of trade.
Various tribes have inhabited the Ryeva Lowlands since antiquity, with the earliest evidence of habitation being found at a cave in Killoran at the edge of the Northern Hills. According to legend, the ancient region is named after Nahe, the son of Japheth and grandson of Noah. He and his wife, Brenna, namesake of the country's capital city, were according to the national mythology the progenitors of the Nahean people. In the story, Nahe and his brother Sares disputed the land handed down to them by their father. Angered by defeat in battle, Sares sided with an invader of Nahe's lands and disappeared. According to legend, Sares will return and exact his revenge on Nahe's descendants. In reality, the origins of the Naheans are recent, with Gaelic and Germanic tribes moving from the north and west through the Erren Valley to their homeland. These tribes later transformed into a series of principalities, kingdoms, and republics, often tied together by a loose system of alliances that lasted for over a thousand years.
