Venya

The Venya were a large culture group that originated east of the Valin mountains. They were one of the first cultures to become committed agriculturalists, and created some of the first cities. A seven centuries of farming the Valya saw years of increasingly poor harvests and a population that had grown beyond the land's capacity. On top of this, steppe nomads to their west were plundering further and further into their territory with every year. Thus began one of the Venya migration. People left their homes and went through the Tirindal pass to the land east of the mountains. This migration led to the beginning of many other cultures as they spread in the eastern part of Oleran. Most notably among them the Vethenya, of eastern Valdor, and the Falya, of Faleron.
