Riyan
Etymology
From Old Riyan rī́ɣas (“Riyan person”), a borrowing from Old Radestrian rījø̄r (“Riyan person, worshipper of Riya”). The Radestrian exonym was derived as such by the Radestrian belief that the Riyan people worshipped a sky deity, which they likened to the Radestrian thunder god Riya. This idea lasted until the mid-18th century when prominent Riyan historians began to come to different conclusions about the nature of ancient Riyan worship. According to modern scholarship, it is thought that the old cultural idea of ancient Riyans as sky-worshippers was by misattribution and more representative of other minority groups in Radestria.
Displaced native Old Riyan mbā́lktas, which died out but was revived by Riyan nationalists in the late 19th century as blaocht.
