Hynra
Hynric: Anarn meó Hynra /anaːrtn̥ mɛːou hɪnːraː/
Þagralic: Unurn mó Hynra /ʏnʏːrtn̥ mouː hynːraː/
Hynra is a constitutional monarchy in midwestern Jælondis and currently the largest country ruled by and predominantly populated by Humans in that part of Borgalor, the other one being Þagralía to the south. Located on the eastern Maralon Steppe and Fúmsis Savanna, it borders the countries of Orgoll to the north, Iriq'ann to the east and East Jekralon to the southwest -the lattermost being a protectorate of Hynra- and the region of Amþax to the west.
Its capital and largest city is Þrakan upon the river Abþa at the heart of the country.

History
Hynra's early history and society is typical for many nomadic and semi-nomadic humans in Maralon, being originally home to various tribes who subsisted on a mixture of hunting, gathering and pastoralism on one hand and others who adopted agriculture along Abþa, with the former ruling over the latter.
Even as the aristocracy gradually settled down in what is now the city of Þrakan, equestrianism remained an important part of hynran culture, and a sizable part of the population lived semi-nomadic lives out on the steppe until relatively recently. During the Fell Wars, Hynra was one of the few kingdoms on the Maralon Steppe that fought against the liches -human monarchs who turned to necromancy-, and in the forty years since has transitioned from a near-absolute monarchy to a constitutional one in order to distance itself from the necrocracies it once fought.

Military
Like other countries bordering Amþax, a significant portion of Hynra's military is dedicated to securing the western border against the undead, often working together with teams from all over Borgalor, with the long-term goal to eventually reclaim Hynra's and Jekralon's territories as well as those of other displaced populations in the region.
The backbone of the army consists of various kinds of cavalry equipped either with bows or crossbows and axes, or spears, using smaller, native horses alongside larger and more powerful ones from Þagralía and Ytvía, pegasi and unicorns.

Infrastructure
Hynra is divided into five provinces, one of which, Myranó, historically extended into what is now Amþax but has been reduced to a strip of land along the western border. These provinces are:
Bajúnra /paːjuːnra/ covers the temperate savanna to the north.
Enún /ɛːnuːn/ covers the Qug Mountains foothills to the east.
Myranó /mɪːraːnouː/ covers the western border of Hynra.
Nirþabþe /nɪːrθapθɛː/ covers the land southeast of the river Abþa.
Úkmitabþe /ukhmɪthaːpθɛː/ covers the area north and northeast of Abþa, including the capital region.
