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 {{w|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. It is now thought the cultural idea of ancient Riyans as sky-worshippers was by misattribution and more representative of other minority groups in Radestria. | ||
