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 kingdom was founded when the Istroyan tyrant Alketadas invaded Aciria from the Istroyan colony on the island of [[Montverde|Iolcessos]] 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 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.
==By country==
===Kiravia===
The Kiravian Federacy has a mixed but mostly unfavourable legal landscape for alternative sexualities and gender identities.


Istroyan influence quickly lessened following the collapse of the Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom ruled by Alketadas and his son, with smaller kingdoms and republics more akin to Istroyan colonies continuing its legacy.  
Same-sex sexual activity is either legal or decriminalised in all Kiravian federal subjects. In jurisdictions where it remains formally illegal, most limit the prohibition to public settings only, and it is rare for the remaining civil penalties to be applied. Most states have higher ages of consent for same-sex activity than for opposite-sex activity.


==Background==
Same-sex marriage is not recognised anywhere in the Kiravian Federacy, and there are no plans to introduce it. A handful of federal subjects - [[Fariva]], the [[Kiygrava]], [[Argévia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Asperidan]], and the [[District of Coīnvra]], offer gender-neutral civil unions that are functionally equivalent to civil marriages for most (but not all) purposes. A larger number of federal subjects offer gender-neutral domestic partnerships (''atomixardmakūra'') or "household covenants" (''þramsāvirexóvon''), which confer fewer rights than a marriage or civil union.


===Istroyan presence in Aciria===
Anti-discrimination laws concerning alternative sexual and gender identities are few and weak. The modern Occidental concept of sexual orientation is not widely understood in Kiravian society, much less recognised in law. Laws concerning public and subsidised housing are one of the few areas in which ''raśgatestra ɣalamirsk'' ("gender-distribution of affection") is a widespread protected class. Healthcare regulations are another. Some coastal states and cities have clear anti-discrimination clauses regarding government services and public accommodations. Queer Kiravians have sought shelter under other protected categories mentioned in various laws, such as "marital status", "household composition", and "reasonably private dispositions", but these are have not always proven reliable and do not provide comprehensive protection.
Archaeological digs have discovered fragments of Istroyan pottery and Istroyan jewelry in the marine regions of Aciria dating to the 8th century, suggesting initial contact between the Istroyans and Acirians dating back to the 8th century via trade. Istroyan written records on the "Glaistos" also are dated around this time period, with them describing the lands they inhabit as "rich with gold and silver", which might be what the Acirians traded with the Istroyans for their goods.


===Istroyan colonies in Aciria===
The Henebrem and Ayembrem are two obscure Coscivian ethnic groups that have more than two sets of gender roles (the Henebrem three and the Ayembrem five), and the states where they live have afforded some measure of legal protection to the "traditional lifestyle and customary minorities among the Brem tribes". The Wisaya Aboriginal tribe also has a third customary gender role assigned to certain biological males, which is recognised under the laws of the Wisaya Reservation. There is some controversy regarding this, as many reformers believe that Ayembrem ''or̥ot'' and Wisaya ''wodoāgro'' are oppressed in their respective cultures. Beyond this there is no legal recognition of alternative or transitory gender identities.
The biggest Istroyan colony in Aciria was the colony of Kenopatrida on the island of [[Montverde|Iolcessos]]. 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.
[[File:AncientTownOlvia.jpg|thumb|right|Ruins of an unnamed Istroyan settlement.]]
===Initial conflicts===
The relations between the Acirians and Istroyans remained peaceful until the establishment of colonies on the mainland. The Acirian population on the islands was limited which meant the enslavement of Acirians wasn't large scale and also meant that the conflicts Acirians might've started were easily stopped by the more well-equipped Istroyans. The establishment of colonies on the mainland meant the expansion of Istroyan agricultural land which expanded onto the lands Acirians considered theirs, resulting in regular Acirian raids to the frontier farms. The small-scale conflicts on the frontier between Istroyan guards and Acirian raiders also quickly ramped up the amount of Acirians enslaved by the Istroyans, which angered the population further.  


{{quote|The Glaistos, originally thought to be noble savages who can be educated, have recently shown their true face. Their actions against our peaceful settlers on their so-called "holy land" will result in nothing more than the unfortunate demise of their people.|Theokasios}}
===Takatta Loa===
Takatta Loa decides its laws via religious precedent, which condone homosexual activity and alternative gender expression, but do not mention marriage or adoption. In addition, persecution of homosexuality is so uncommon in Takatta Loa that there is no precedent for the protection of homosexual rights to freedom of discrimination.


The Acirians being unable to discern between the different Istroyan colonies resulted in Acirians attacking and raiding even those settlements that belonged to the colonies that had respected the deals they had made with the local tribal leaders, seeing the Istroyans as a whole as an aggressive, invading force.

[[Category:Law]]
 
===Istroyan invasion===
What historians see as the starting point of the Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom is when the Istroyan colony of Abdinion was sacked by the Glaistos, who have been identified as one of the pre-latinic inhabitants of Aciria. Abdinion's tyrant, Alketadas, narrowly escaped his death in Abdinion and escaped to the Istroyan colony of Kenopatrida on [[Montverde|Iolcessos]], where he informed the local leaders of the colony's fate. By 592 BC Alketadas had returned to his native Istroya, where he had mustered up a fleet and an army of Istroyans. Where, exactly, Alketadas got this fleet and army from is unclear, but it's thought to have been a mix of what Alketadas was able to buy with his own wealth, volunteers, and the allies of Alketadas that were eager to avenge those who were lost in the sacking.
 
It was in the summer of 590 BC when Alketadas' fleet and army left Kenopatrida for Abdinion, which the Acirians had inhabited now for several years. The town was quickly retaken with little casualties due to the well equipped and trained Istroyan mercenaries, but Alketadas did give credit to the Acirians for the ferocity which they fought with before retreating.
 
{{quote|The beautiful city of Abdinion was raped and to an extent, reclaimed by nature, due to the inability of the Glaistos to upkeep a civilized society. The beautiful marble buildings had been taken apart and left to the elements, while the grand works of art portraying our gods and heroes were knocked over and turned to rubble. Our streets were now littered with blood, guts and corpses; (they) fought with ferocity that matched a cornered animal, perhaps unable to even understand the concept of surrender or retreat, maybe even fear.|Alketadas}}
 
Alketadas was initially content with simply rebuilding his former city, but found out that in his absence, nearby colonies had also been at best victims of raids, and at worst, destroyed. Enraged by this, Alketadas rested for the night before sending some of his men to inform Kenopatrida of his plans to reclaim the region before marching for the other colonies. His wars against the Acirians continued on and off for a decade, and in 580 BC he halted his wars by marrying his son Lacidaos to the daughter of a powerful Acirian tribal leader, who then vouched for Alketadas when suing for peace.
 
===Reliability of sources===
Some modern historians have doubted the accuracy of descriptions of the war, due to all the sources being Istroyan due to the lack of written sources from Acirians at this time. Many of the sources are thought to have exaggerated the success and speed of his conquests.
 
===Rule of the Alketadian dynasty===
The first ruling Istroyan dynasty in [[Aciria]] is known as the Alketadian dynasty, named after the first king Alketadas. Alketadas was infamous for his ruthlessness against the Acirians, even in Istroyan sources. Acirian enslavement was widespread during his rule, used for the reconstruction of the Istroyan colonies, construction of temples, forced to work in mines and often even shipped off to work in Istroya. The vast amounts of slave labour propped up the economy of the new kingdom quickly, which then enticed more Istroyans to move there. The economy soared and the cities were not only reconstructed, but expanded due to the wealth the rare metals extracted from the mines brought.
[[File:Lacidaos.png|left|thumb|300px|Bust of Lacidaos discovered in a flooded cave. Located in the Imperial Museum of History, [[Trossera]].]]
Alketadas eventually died around 568 BC, which meant his son Lacidaos ascended to the throne at the age of 27. Lacidaos' and his fathers rule couldn't have been more different: Lacidaos had spent much of his life around Acirians since he was a child, growing up in the colonies. He spoke the language fluently and had great compassion for the Acirians, which caused him to allow them to gain citizenship and outlawed "cruel treatment" of Acirian slaves to lessen the unrest between the Istroyans and Acirians. His wife being a native Acirian, she often was the messenger between the Acirians and the Istroyans as opposed to Lacidaos himself, due to the former being suspicious of the latter following the cruel rule of Alketadas. Lacidaos' wife was described to have a silver tongue, which meant the expansion of the Istroyan kingdom diplomatically, some tribes voluntarily joining the kingdom in return for protection from the other tribes.
 
Lacidaos died at the age of 41 under suspicious circumstances. His death became the inspiration for a play by Aciriano-Istroyan poet Arantheos, where Lacidaos became the victim of a grand conspiracy.
 
===Collapse of the First Kingdom===
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.
 
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.
 
==Religion==
Sculptures and coins minted in the early years of the Istroyan settlements portrayed figures from traditional Istroyan religion and mythology, but after the collapse of Abdinia, figures that have been interpreted as gods and heroes from the [[Ancient Acirian religion|native religion]] of the region. It was also during this time when Istroyan architectural influence became more commonplace in Acirian places of worship with the busts of [[[[Twelve Theousians|Istroyan gods]] being included in these temples relatively often, suggesting the two groups had found common ground with their beliefs.
 
===Salidros===
Salidros has been historically seen as the most tolerant of the Istroyan kingdoms when it came to the religion of the natives. The first Salidran [[archon]] Ibapides sent multiple expeditions to the mountainous, rural regions of [[Aciria]] to study the religion of the natives, deeply interested by their utilitarianistic views. Ibapides wanted the expedition to visit as inland as possible to minimize the Istroyan influence in the religion to ensure the "purity" of the beliefs. Following the return of the expedition, Ibapides considered the gods of the Acirians to be the same as theirs; just different aspects of them, and ordered a statue of the [[Ancient Acirian religion|Three Sisters]] to be constructed by the port to welcome any visitors and merchants to the city.
 
Ibapides was eventually exiled due to fears of tyranny, and legend says that Ibapides never returned to the Istroyans but went on to live with the Acirians, and became a priest at an Acirian temple.
==Art==
Unfortunately, the history of instability in [[Aciria]] has resulted in the destruction of many pieces of art that the Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdoms may have produced. The biggest source of information regarding the Aciriano-Istroyan art has been the Pistallo Cave, in which archaeologists uncovered over 120 pieces of art, including but not limited to murals, busts and coins. The art seems to be Istroyan in nature, but they seem to portray items and people not common in Istroyan art, believing that this is a result of the Aciriano-Istroyan syncretic art.
