The '''Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom''', also known as '''Abdinia''' or '''Kenopatria''', was an [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]] kingdom covering a large area in the northwestern regions of modern day [[Aciria]]. It was founded somewhere in the 6th century BC, and Istroyan culture continued to flourish on specific islands until the 1st century BC before being eventually assimilated into the [[Aciriani people|Marinai]] people. | The '''Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom''', also known as '''Abdinia''' or '''Kenopatria''', was an [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]] kingdom covering a large area in the northwestern regions of modern day [[Aciria]].

The Aciriano-Istroyan kingdom refers to not only the kingdom established by Alketadas, but the realms that followed from the collapse of the kingdom after the death of Alketadas' son. Over time the Istroyan identity was lessened by assimilation into the native populations, creating Marinai-Istroyan Kingdoms by the coastal regions, and even a short lived Montanaro-Istroyan kingdom in the mountains. | ||
The Istroyan population in the region remained relatively small over the centuries, but despite this, Istroyan influence on the culture, religion and language of pre-latinic Aciria was vast due to the ruling class initially refusing to accept any local customs or beliefs. Modern research has also shown that Istroyan influence is also present in the ethnic makeup of the Acirians, shown by some Montanaro populations having notable Istroyan ancestry. Intermarrying between the Acirians and Istroyans was uncommon, but not unheard of, with the earliest record of this being Alketadas' son's wife being the princess of an Acirian tribe. | The Istroyan population in the region remained relatively small over the centuries, but despite this, Istroyan influence on the culture, religion and language of pre-latinic Aciria was vast due to the ruling class initially refusing to accept any local customs or beliefs.

It's thought to have been established in the latter half of the 8th century to offer a place of rest for sailors and traders, whilst encouraging trade by allowing storing goods from Istroya or Aciria before shipping them back to Istroya. The colony's population growth quickly got out of hand, which in return caused the government to not only forbid further immigration but exile people to the mainland to further Istroyan influence in the region. The exiles eventually formed their own colonies, with the most important one of the exile colonies being Abdinion due to its proximity to Kenopatrida, becoming a gateway between the mainland colonies and the rest of the Istroyan world. | ||
