Izanian people

The Izanian people are an ethnoreligious group including most of the sedentary Dragon Heart people, as well as some assimilated Quechuan and Andean Basque tribes.

Etymology
The origins of the name Izan itself are still, as of today, a matter of debate among linguists. While the majority agree that the word is ultimately a Vasconic loan, two main derivations are presented. According to those, the original word would either be Old Basque izen (meaning “name”) or the reconstructed *izan (conjectured to mean “thing that is”, from an earlier “to be” form). While the first theory still holds more weight in academic circles, recent reconstructions of Preclassical Andean Basque, and of its sound shifts from Old Basque, have made the reconstructed *izan form a strong contender as of the etymology of Izan.

Religion
The Izanian religion is centered on Izan, ruler of the High Plane pertaining to pure abstractions (Forms), counterbalanced by the One who Makes, ruler of the material Low Plane.
