Sayati is the northern region of Suran.

Sayati was an empire directly north of the mountain range to the north of the Igani. On 773, 28 Descendent Earth, the short war between Igani and Sayati was ended with the withdrawal of Igani troops. Immediately thereafter, negotiations were opened to unite the two countries through intermarriages.

Culture

The sayati culture is very competitive, and is strongly influenced by Delzahn culture. At the higher circles of society, this usually manifests itself as intense political manipulations, with assassination as a very real option, even among siblings. Women are seen as political tokens to be passed around to strengthen alliances. However, when such alliances fail, the men usually perish (one way or another), while the women are usually also the target of retribution by the victorious party, who will use them as hostages to force compliance of the women's families.

Due to the frequent conflicts, the ratio of men vs. women is even more skewed towards women then in most surrounding countries.
