During the middle ages, an evil tribe from another dimension accidentally got transported to Earth in a freak-alchemy accident, and lost all their magic. Their country today is called Vitana, and is located between Iran and Armenia. A plurality of Vitanis are Ronists, the old religion that worshipped the shape-shifting dragon-king Ronoé from their home dimension. While a significant amount of Christians and Muslims are oppressed by the Ronist dictator, the Pishlak.
