The Frish took back a number of discoveries from the east and northern shores of Mountange, including 2 Merri statues and a number of animal corpses.

	=== Prior to unification ===
	For around 20 years after the annexation of their land, the Merri enjoyed relative autonomy and equal rights with the Frish Utlians. Tensions rose after a Merriyem man burned down an Azztan church, causing the king to ban Merri from living in the cities and capitals of Frish land, this was swiftly followed by a ban that disallowed Merri citizens to own knives or fire-causing implements. This was then followed by a Kingdom-wide shutdown of all Merriyem religious buildings and institutions.

	=== Unified Kingdom of Utlia ===
	After the Unification with the Eutan kingdom, many Merriyem believed that they would be considered equals again under the new management of the [[Eutan Kingdom\|Eutan]] [[Monarch of Utlia\|Liamia's]]. Under Wynlid Liamia, the Merri were allowed religious and most civilian freedoms. Under Lofse Liamia they were banished from the cities of Unified Utlia for anything other than work and could not practice religion outside of their homes. In 650 TT during the first Aremt dynasy, the first Merriyem uprising began due to regulations on where Merriyem could go, specifically they could not leave Mersen and neighboring coastal towns. The uprising was put down by [[Tonnel Aremt]].

			The '''Merriyem''', sometimes called '''Mersenites''' are a religious and ethnic minority in the mountains of [[Republic of Utlia\|Utlia]]. Discovered during Vyren Kiyrns Frish Expeditions in 1799 TT, the Merriyem people live east of the [[tyut mountain range]] in what is now [[Mountange]]. Their capital and largest city is [[Mersen-Ut\|Mersen]], which has been a battleground for much of history. The Merriyem people are known for the consumption of [[Grylbos\|Grylbo]], fruit based alcohol, and many uprisings, wars and failed states throughout [[History of Utlia\|Utlian history]].
