The kingdoms of Cazia (Kossän) and Orod were historically the two largest Talenic-majority provinces held by the Empire of Panarine. They were governed by vassal kings (Misselovec and Sejdenec, respectively) of the Emperor in Panarine, but they were subjected to the imperial policy of Hegemonic Marriage, in which the firstborn son of each royal house must marry a noblewoman from the city of Panarine. This policy was supported by the Tanthene church, which had sole power over marriages between noble houses. Cazia was only held under Imperial rule for a little over half of a century, but Orod remained much longer.
There was another ‘Talenic Province’, Gesena, but it was not ruled by a Talenic dynasty. Instead, Gesena was ruled by a governor appointed in Panarine, though a few have been Talens. Prior to Imperial rule, in the age of the Tanthene Empire, these provinces were settled by large contingents of nomads from Mitrion– the original Talens. They settled around the rivers Orod and Vorad, and pushed towards their sources. Imperial power began to slip when the king of Orod lobbied Tanthes to recognize a Southern church, with ministry over Oronar nobility. Hegemonic Marriage ended, but the pulling-away of Orod from the Empire could no longer be stopped. Cazia-Orod would eventually topple the Empire of Panarine, and remains to the 12th century after Adanōs as one of Ōchis’s great powers, having faced down the grand jewel of Sasinthy and plucked it from her serpentine crown.
