Satímaa

"We will defend our lands, or Luumansari willing, we'll join his court."

- Unknown Satí soldier.

Satímaa is the home of the Satí people. It roughly covers the north-eastern area of Eidora, in the north of Radovia and Druthenia. The traditional area is split between the two countries, each housing a population of Satí.

While the Satí haven't known true independence for hundreds of years, their history with their southern rulers have usually been one of autonomy, at least in Druthenia.

General information
Satímaa has, for several hundred years, been split in half between Druthenia in the east and Radovia in the west. Though divided for several hundred years, the Satí population of the region has remained close culturally due to the lack of border enforcement in the cold north, being able to cross mostly at will.

Hauta
The town (and later city) of Hauta (lit. "the grave" in Satí) is the only town populated almost exclusively by Satís, since other towns in the area are predominantly inhabited by Druthenians. It is a major hub for Satí activity in Druthenia, and is essentially the closest thing to a capital for Druthenian Satímaa - and after the Satí were given more autonomy in the aftermath of the Satímaa War, Hauta was officially made a City (by royal decree) and the capital of the now-unified Satímaa region. Its population in 1914 is approximately 40,000.

Hauta is traditionally seen as the resting place of both mythological and legendary figures in Satí folklore and belief, but also for real historical individuals of note, giving rise to its name ("the grave").
