Agnias

Agnias (/ˌÆgniːˈəs/ AG-nee-us; Agnian: Ægnías [ˌÆgniːˈəs]), also called the Kingdom of Agnias (Agnian: Þæn Brége baþ Ægnías), part of the Mordent (Agnian: Ðen Mórdent), is a Boréo-Siolethene country. It occupies the northwest of the Mordentine Peninsula, known commonly as the Mordent (with variations in other languages), with a land border with Yrisait to the west, Sead Án to the east, and Fasiar to the south. To the north is the Bornstok Sea. The capital is the city of Béal Tur, and is the most populous city in Agnias.

What is now known as Agnias was originally one of three main regions of the First Kingdom of Agnias: Agnias, Sead Án, and Faséar. The three regions became separate kingdoms shortly after Þéargæd the Wise moved the capital from Mairum to Béal Tur in 549 BE.

Agnias occupies the majority of the Mordentine Highlands and therefore has many mountains

Etymology
The term "Agnias" is the Boréan spelling of Agnian "Ægnías", which is derived from Old West Siodic "Agnías", a noun meaning "the Agni (people)" and also refers to the Mordentine Highlands which define the land of Agnias. Agnías itself is a West Siolethene derivation of Proto-Boréan "éin/éinu" meaning "up high", which was used to described the landscape of the Agni tribe territory in the Mordentine Highlands by Édoséosen V. Central Siolethene dialects retained the palatal approximant "j" sound of "éin", West Siolethene dialects formed a voiced velar stop "g" sound. This is why the Siodic name for Agnias is "Éiðnar" and Agnian is "Ægnías".

Other names for Agnias exist in other languages, such as Farynac "Weonwraun" and Yrisi "i Mourdand".
