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|ancient Istroyan]] kingdom covering a large area in the northwestern regions of modern day [[Aciria]].

The kingdom was founded when the Istroyan tyrant Alketadas invaded Aciria from the Istroyan colony on the island of [[Montverd|Telanos]] in 590 BC. 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 kingdom was founded when the Istroyan tyrant Alketadas invaded Aciria from the Istroyan colony on the island of [[Montverd|Telanos]] in 590 BC.

The prosperity that followed the establishment of the First Kingdom, known as Abdinia, was also its downfall. The fast expansion and creation of new cities far away from each other alongside with the prosperous trade had created powerful, wealthy families in different parts of the kingdom that declared independence following the death of Lacidaos. The first of these was Empastira on the western coast, which was quickly followed by Salidros, and even Kenopatrida after it was noticed the new king was unable to do anything to keep the kingdom together. Empastira's government eventually settled on a diarchy ruled by King Kenoros and King Hekaos, while Salidros and Kenopatrida returned to their historical tradition of democracy. | The prosperity that followed the establishment of the First Kingdom, known as Abdinia, was also its downfall.

Despite being the de facto capital of the [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]] colonies in [[Aciria]] since its founding, Kenopatrida quickly declined due to trade slowing down as the new main port of the colonies turned to be Salidros due to the closer location and smaller customs. Kenopatridas insular location also didn't work in its favour, due to having to import much of its food and wood from the mainland. | Despite being the de facto capital of the [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|ancient Istroyan]] colonies in [[Aciria]] since its founding, Kenopatrida quickly declined due to trade slowing down as the new main port of the colonies turned to be Salidros due to the closer location and smaller customs.
