The Khiyzan (Khiyzan: Խիձանը; Ruvelkan: Kayzán; Ruvelkan Script: Űiḫủáṵ) are an ethnic group native to central Siduri with the majority of the Khiyzan poplace currently residing in eastern Ruvelka along the Ruvelkan-Arkoennite border. The Khiyzan originally inhabited a shifting area along the Kaspar River in west-central Arkoenn where they often involved themselves in minor political affairs of the Mansuri, Tennaite, and Ruvelkan peoples. Amongst their neighbors, the Khiyzan were known as fierce nomadic warriors of the central Siduri steppe and for a short time exerted influence throughout their geographic region.

Although closely related to the Arkoennites, their rivalry over the supremacy of what would become Arkoenn culminated into open conflict in the 1100s. A series of major defeats against the Arkoennites and their allies greatly reduced the political power of the Khiyzan, pushing them further and further north. Most of what remained of the Khiyzan eventually sought asylum with the Grand Duchy of Vysocsina and the Principalities of Bács-Kiskun and Nagykun where they eventually permanently settled.

When the Arkoennites invaded the Ruvelkan states, the Khiyzan rallied to the defense of the Ruvelkans although their coalition would also be overwhelmed and defeated after several years of continuous fighting. By the 1700s and following the fall of Arkoenn’s Empire, the Khiyzan peoples had become well integrated into the elite society of the southeastern Ruvelkan Kingdoms and Duchies.
