From as early as the 7th century BCE, the Aldegarian (Persian) people have dominated the region of modern Aldegar. They remain the majority on the mainland, while Panmuan (Mongol) minorities inhabit the north and the island of Somasi hosts Nelayan (Javanese) and Rajavanshi (Parsi) peoples. Yazdism (Zoroastrianism) has shaped Aldegar’s society, politics, and identity for millennia, though Daenism (Buddhism), Zamanism (Manichaeism), and Hosianism (Christianity) have also played historic roles.
Ethnicities - The Aldegarian (Persian) people dominate the mainland, practicing Yazdism (Zoroastrianism) and Zamanism (Manichaeism). Panmuans (Mongols), descendants of the Mu-Tze Khanate settlers, live mainly in the north and follow Daenism (Buddhism) and Zamanism. The island of Somasi is home to Nelayan (Javanese) and Rajavanshi (Parsi), the latter culturally close to the Aldegarians.

Religions - Yazdism (Zoroastrianism) has long been the primary faith, deeply intertwined with Aldegar’s governance and traditions. Zamanism (Manichaeism), Daenism (Buddhism), and Hosianism (Christianity) remain influential minorities. Centuries of syncretism have blended doctrines, creating diverse religious identities.

Languages - Aldegarian (Persian) serves as the dominant national language. Classical Aldegarian (Farsi), written in Avestan script, contrasts with Modern Aldegarian (Tajik), the official standardized form. Minority languages—Rajavanshi (Gujarati), Nelayan (Javanese), and Panmuan (Mongolian)—reflect the nation’s multi-ethnic roots.

Guidelines - Political party names should be in Tajik. Most characters and politicians should have Zoroastrian and/or Tajik names, with limited use of Javanese and Mongolian names, alone or blended with Zoroastrian ones.

Digest - Aldegar blends Persian grandeur with Mongol and Javanese influences. Deeply Yazdean and culturally ancient, it’s ideal for players who enjoy rich tradition, religious tension, and layered imperial politics rooted in mystic heritage.
