Alyomennians (Alyomennian: Alyomanjŭ [alɯ'manʒʉ]; dated exonym Walhens) are a Tiberean-Speaking people group native to the Petarian Plain west of the Vrnav River. a collection of regional identities that share a common Alyomennian language, culture, and ancestry. They live primarily in Petigora where they constitute the second largest ethnic group in the country. in the 2010 national census Alyomennians made up 27% of the national population and 87% of the Federated Alyomennian People's Republic, a federal subject within the Federal Republics of Petigora. they also constitute a large diaspora through out Erisia and abroad.

The terms "Alyomennian" and "Walhen" have been used to describe the verious Bakho-Tiberean people who live throughout the Bakhorean region. the term Walhen has fallen out of favor since the 17th centurey, with Alyomennian, or Alyomen becoming prefered over time. The inclusion of Ilyaero-Tibereans, Oşteni, and Melgnerians as part of a wider Alyomennian identity has been controversial including amongst Alyomennians themselves and has rather been a label applied by forign ethnogrophers.

History

Antiquity

The region that constitutes the Federated Alyomennian People's Republic was initially inhabeted by serveral Paleo-Bakhorean peoples. Notibly the Rudementii, Bylimentae, Verdencii, and the Alœmenae. The Tiberean Empire conqured the region in 117 AD, one of the last places in Tiberean Bakhoria to come under its control. The Conquest of the region, then know simply as Alœmenia to contemporary Tiberean sources, was led by General Sextus Gnaeus Tricipitinus during the Muricesium River Campaigns. Tricipitinus would defeat the Alœmenae leader Burcotis at the Battle of the Tepinisean Heights and would formaly subjigate the region.

The Alœmenae would be subject to increased assimilation and Tiberean migration. Tiberean administration would withdraw from the region in 307 AD after pressure from Durhaen migrants coming from the southeast. While the region was known to be Tibereanized to some degree their is still no clear scholarly consesus on the origin of the Alyomennians. The Bănelasgo Origin Theory states that Alyomennians originated in the Tibereanized tribal societies of post-Tiberean Alœmenia during the early Great Steppe Migration period between 267 AD and 356 AD. The Bähr-Tsangaris Theory states that modern Alyomennians are decended from refugees from Cisminorean Dacae, Cearacoius Inferior, and Cearacoius Superior. Which had suffered far more from Migration of the Steppe peoples, civil wars within the Tiberean Empire, and economic collapse linked to drought and poor imperial administration. With the Petarian Plain suffering lesss from the migration thanks to natural barriers.

A more fringe theory, devised and advocated by Dr. Francesco Caxés-Berruguete known as the South-of-the-Vrna Hypothosis states that the ethnogenisis of the Alyomennian people's comes from a series of migrations from south of the River Vrna. beliving that Tzoumythian Argeans migrated north, mixing with now settled Durhaen and Amyrgaens people's around present day Vupinja. These people's would move into the Petarian Plain after the migration of the Kurlaqs into the region, where they cohabitated with local vular tiberean speaking communities.

Middle Ages to Early Modern Period

There are few early writings about the Alyomen from between 1000 AD and 1250 AD, a handful of mentions of a people who "speak the language of the old empire" have been found in various text sources. However from 1254 AD writings and history became more common as the Kingdom of Welhenia started to form.

Religion

roughly 86% of the Alyomennian population identifies with the Milosian Church. Initially it is known that the early Tiberean speaking inhabitants of the region worshiped the Imperial Cult as well as Solistic Henotheism. There is also evidence of a unique form of Paganism which incorporated Germanic and Iranic Paganism and Solistic Henotheism, existing in known practice for a brief time between 210 AD and 564 AD. The first Christians in the region appeared near Cinĕpeyişta with Pius Renatus serving as the first archbishop of Alœmenia at that time. The region would not sustain wider efforts at conversion until the Conversion of King St. Vivianus in 988 AD.

Do to its relative isolation and the uneven nature of the regions conversion between 988 and 1176 AD there was a strong Proto-Potestant movement in the region. These theological peculiarities came to the fore with the arrival of Milo of Nisos in 1470, a Emeric Bishop who had worked for the church in Nisos until he was ousted as a heretical thinker. He would later relocate to Alyomennia to escape persecution, where he would begin spreading his teachings. Ultimately his beliefs criticize Metropolic Supremacy, veneration of saints, and Transubstantiation while promoting Caesaropapism, Iconoclasm, Credobaptism, and Unitarianism. These Milosians were deemed as heretics by the Church in 1478 and were subject to several anti-heretical campaigns particularly the First and Second Milosian War where Milosian communities were assaulted by armies with the backing of the church. ultimately resulting in the capture, trial, and death of Milo of Nisos in 1490. However the church would ultimately fail to eradicate the Milosians and over time the faith would grow along with the ALyomennians.
