The Hanaians are a race of humans that originally hail from the south of Hanaa. They are said to be one of the older inhabitants of the country, which rings true because the country appears to be named after them. They worship Chohar, the Golden Lion. Their aim has historically been to expand their population and avoid violence where possible.
The Hanains had settled in the north-western part of the country and ruled from the city of Hanaadin. They eventually came to war with their previous trade partners, the Minghondians, leading to the War of Rancor and their subsequent mass evacuation back towards their ancestral lands in the south. The Minghondians felt compelled to make incursions to the east to claim more land for their people, as The Barren Advance progressively made their homelands unlivable.
Many Hanaians were against the war, as it was viewed as a grave straying from the path of peace. The order of priests even went as far as as saying their defeat and subsequent persecution were divine punishment handed down by Chohar for not not readily helping their fellow man enough. Their old temples near Minghonda have since been razed to the ground or re-approriated to worship Abadar, who is worshipped by the Minghondians.
