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
North Rhaynan Outer Moellia is defined as the northern region populated by Rhayno-aegeans between 30,000 BCE and 21,000 BCE. This is known to have been done through the North Salyrasitic Routes, Atzalo-Kaly Thean Route, the Imisy Delta Route and the Lariteian-Imisian Route. The area extends latitudinally from the frontier with Qaweritoyu to the Imisy, and extends longitudinally from Kaly Thea to the Prostasia Range. During ancient history, it saw rather soon the apparition of organized states, focused on the expansion towards the south along the Katharistis and through the North Rhaynan Desert.
This region has been populated by various Aegean cultures and civilizations, and to this day it conserves various traditions, cultural activities and beliefs practised since the arrival of humans to the region. Regions as the Ryzi Marshes, Kaly Thea or the Katharistis riverbed hold various historical locations like temples, old cities, ruins and megalithic structures.
North Nea-gyan Outer Moellia
North Nea-gyan Outer Moellia is a region located in the northern part of Nea-gy, inhabited by Rhayno-aegeans since 29,000-25,000 BCE. The region stretches from the border with the Republic of Past to the Mikros and Mesaia, and from the Defteros Range to the surroundings of Pantoupoli.
In ancient times, the area was home to several organized states that expanded eastwards along the Mikros, through the Tipo Valley and towards the modern day Pantoupoli.
