=== Early Settlement and Pre-Kingdom Era (1000 B.C. - 399 AD) ===
The Aikkian coasts were first home to native lutryne groups, while the Atiovha mountains were later settled in 1,000 B.C. by exiled Vhydaszi AkuansAkuanist. The new arrivals lived a mostly pastoral lifestyle and primarily raised goats and sheep. Around 800 B.C. the region saw an influx of Shatlo elves who had been pushed out of their homeland on the Oshombran Peninsula by Taragai and later Talveri pressure. They named their new home "Aikthudr'zhur," or literally, "The Eastern Places." The arriving Shatlo converted to Akuanism but maintained much of their existing hierarchy and cultural traditions. Their comparatively long lifespans also allowed them to establish their power in region, and many modern political dynasties can trace their roots back to these original settlers.
 
==== Tri-River Flood ====
The original and largest settlement by lutryne and kemonomimi Akuanists was swept away in a flood due to a harsh raining season and primitive dam constructions blocking the flow of water. The original city's name has been lost and only few historical records make mention of the once large city that was located where the current day Highdrilian sits. Handful of stone structures that has survived the flood and is still being maintained by the Royal Society of Historical Services of Aikkian Peoples. The use of the structures is still currently unknown but it has been theorized by historians that the stone structures are either religious in nature or small granaries.
 
The original settlement was abandoned for several centuries until the water level decrease to a level deemed safe enough for resettlement. The second settlement, Lodrilia returned to being a large city center for several centuries until the city was renamed by Highdrilian by the King Okford of Ny'thudr'zhan in 1550.
