Vyanar
The Asylon region of Vyanar is a rural part of the Duchy of Itau. This region was named after a unique and now extinct local population of deer that used to inhabit the region trapped by the River Dunn and the Mountains of Chrysalids. The local population thrived by hunting and trading the furs, meat and horns of these plain feeders. The "Vyanar" were unique to this region as they only had one horn. Typically the horn was found on the right side of their heads. However, from time to time a variant was found with a left or centre horn. Local folklore suggests the "Vyanar" were fallen brothers to the unicorn forced to live a life as prey. It was often speculated this fate befell the "vyanar" because of their greedy deermaster who tried to steal the gold antlers of the pagan deer demigod Sorrendoar. The Vyanar were forced to live with one horn as punishment and as a symbol of its greed and selfishness. A single horn is often worn during ceremonies and special celebrations as a symbol by the present day Vyanarians to remind others to respect and care for their land, neighbors, family and friends. This brought the birth of their motto: victoria concordia crescit Victory comes from harmony.
