Giyadan, Lažagan, Ghorovašidan — Giyâ golâye Zardâkiye.
"Survival, Freedom, Solidarity — Long live the Zardebin people."

Such is the ideal held by those who long for the emancipation of the Zardebin people. Even after centuries of subjugation by countless dynasties and imperialist powers, they have persisted. Some say stubbornness is what makes a Galeanic nation Galeanic, and the Zardebins, being a part of it, certainly proved the adage.

Sure, the Zardebins might dress like the Kahvranis and write like the Shammaris. Only a few of them remained in with Irsina, the Galeanic pantheon, often crypto-religiously, with most already prostrating before the God of Hailism that their imperators brought with. Like any mortals, sometimes they are unable to resist the wind of change, whether it came from their convictions or ushered through arrow and swords.

Yet the Zardebins persisted. They persisted like any Galeanic people in history. They outmaneuvered the chariots that invaded their Levropian homeland thousands of years ago. The Zardebins were the most estranged of their Galeanic brethren, having pushed out of Levropia and into the Scorian continent. An exiled people, so to speak, but they had moved on from the meadows of Levropia. West Scoria, with its arid steppes, is now their home.

Even with chariots, cavalries, or even cannons, these imperators had never succeeded in severing many a tongue of those stubborn Zardebins. Lažagan, or freedom, is a Zardebin term, fully Galeanic in origin, and it is not a loanword for a reason.

The Zardebins endearingly call their flag Hegheva ge Tseruye (هٔهغهو گه ڞهرؤیه; the Banner with a Yellow). The flag's invention is credited to Roya Golbani (رؤی گؤلْبنئ), a visionary intellectual with a clerical background. He designed the flag in 1913, contemporaneous with the largely Levropian-based Revolutions of 1912, which mostly affected Galeanic countries (Baresia, Camennia, Pirusavia, and Samgurtia) and ushered the revitalized values of republicanism and social democracy.
