The Gwenyan Peoples are the forebears of most modern ethnic humans of the Pallathantic Region and the descendants of the hypothetical 'Gwanya' or 'people,' a flood survivor group believed to have dwelt sometime after the flood along the upper Thybdis River, southeast of the Vadsinkoinen Forest.

Scholars relying on language reconstruction and archeology believe the Gwenyan Peoples divided around 6,300 AS into two groups, the so-called Ancient High Gwenyans, Ancient Low Gwenyans, and Middle Ancient Gwenyans, and subsequently around 3,600 AS, the Ancient High Gwenyans divided further into the Thwarrish and Donavish Tribes. The Ancient Low Gwenyans are the forebears of the Thybdish Tribes, including the Midrinksi who settled in Lucacia and Corundy. The Ancient Middle Gwenyans became the Jungornish and the Svarikish of Asdauria.

The Donavish Tribes are so-called after the goddess Dáunau and the Thwarrish after the god Thwar, son of Amrulon and Parkia, on the putative belief that the forebears of the Jaggudorn tribes favored Thwar while the forebears of the Moigthe were devoted to Dáunau, daughter of Magdaia and Eshik.
