Moellia is a historical, geographic and ethnic region in Central Cordilia encompassing the entirety of the present-day United Provinces of Rhayna.
First used by Rhayno-aegeans from Rhayna, Alla-gy and Nea-gy independently one from another around 3,000 BCE, the term includes all territories enclosed between the Cordilian Sea, the Prostasia Range, the Defteros Range and the Eastern Cordilian Desert. In these territories, aegeans from the 30,000 BCE migration routes first settled along the coasts, lakes, and rivers of the region.
The area is home to almost only aegeans, with only mixes of populations due to internal migration between Rhaynans, Alla-gyans and Nea-gyans. There's also a small quantity of Thalapadians throughout the region, and a small minority of assimilated Pastens in the Outer Moellia area of Nea-gy, more specifically in the Tipo Valley.
Moellia is currently the biggest region of Aegean ethnic and speakers. Since the first definitions of this territory, turmoil has been present during most of its history until just recently in 1965 with the unification of the Aegean republics after the Rhaynan Civil War.
Boundaries
Moellia is now most often associated with the three Rhaynan states of Rhayna, Alla-gy and Nea-gy, and with the nation of the United Provinces of Rhayna. Usually it is agreed that the frontiers of Moellia end with the frontiers of UPRAN. Furthermore, the area can be divided into three territories by the Prostasia and Defteros Ranges: Rhaynan Moellia, Alla-gyan Moellia and Nea-gyan Moellia. Added to this, it can also be divided into four regions: North Rhaynan Outer Moellia, North Nea-gyan Outer Moellia, South Allo-Rhaynan Outer Moellia, and Inner Moellia.
North Rhaynan Outer Moellia can be defined as the region populated by Rhayno-aegeans between 30,000 BCE and 21,000 BCE. The area extends as far north as the frontier with Qaweritoyu and as far south as the Imisy River, and extends as far west as Kaly Thea and as far east as the Prostasia Range. During ancient history, it saw rather soon the apparition of organized states, focused on the expansion towards the shown along the Katharistis River and through the North Rhaynan Desert.
