Nysiae

Nysiae is a geographical and historical region of Orillia in southcentral Euteria. Its boundaries have changed considerably over time; however, it came to be defined as the modern geographical region by the mid 19th century. Its oldest known settlements date back approximately to 7,000 BC.

Nysiae played an important role in Dellik history. Many important Dellik cities were founded along its coast. In antiquity, the Kingdom of Nysiae was a major maritime power throughout the Sargonian and Azal Seas. The Tonans were fond of the region and it became a popular seaside destination for the Tonan aristocracy, earning the nickname "the Nysiaen Riviera".

The Nysiaens belong to the Thero-Dellenic ethnic group and closely related to the Pelaseians, their eastern neighbours. In ancient times the Nysiaens were the historic adversaries of the Delliks and Massideans.

History
The Euterian Serephanians first originated in Nysaie and Pelaseia. The Sargonians established colonies along the coast, serving as their stronghold on the mainland.

The Nysiaens emerged in early Dellik history as a collection of tribes with uncertain origins, although Dellik historians wrote that they were colonists from Orion who had a shared heritage with the Pelaseians. During the Dello-Parsian Wars, the Nysaieans aided the Peomid Empire in their conquest of Dellos, having already been subjugated by them. The Nysaieans were given control of Massidea.
