Aslava

A map of Aslava.

Aslava was a country on the western part of the Continent. It bordered Alpina in the north and Toscano in the west. Aslava was also connected to the Sea of Rostov in the south. Its easternmost border isn't shown on the world map, although we can assume that is also borders to the Eastern Steppes and thus the Temujai in the east.  

Etymology[]

The name Aslava probably comes from the word Slav, the name given to a people coming from Eastern Europe around 450 A.D. It is therefore likely that Aslava is based on the states they founded. Given that the Sea of Rostov is similar to the Sea of Azov (due to the fact that Rostov is a city on the coast of the Sea of Azov), it is likely that the Aslavans are based upon or similar to the Kievan Rus. Ancestors of the modern day Russian peoples. This is further proven by them being pressured by Toscano, which is similar to the Byzantines, and the Byzantines pressured the Kievan Rus.

History[]

Aslava was once part of the Romonov Empire based in Rovo, Toscana. However, once Rovo fell in 189 to the Teuts, Aslava claimed independence from their Arridi/Teut masters. Today though, they are at pressure with Toscana.

Trivia[]

  • Although this isn't mentioned, it can be assumed that the Aslavans have trade with the Toscanans and Arridi via the Sea of Rostov. 
  • Aslava hasn't been visited by any major characters yet.
  • The people of Aslava probably have their own language, but would be familiar with Toscan, Temuj, and other languages of trade.
