The roots of Aranthia trace back to the settlement of Usprian Elves, specifically the Nimlothiens, in ancient times. The subsequent arrival of Arcturian Elves, who sought refuge on the Auroran continent, led to a unique blend of Arcturian-Usprian Elven culture, which is now known as modern Aranthiani. The cultural integration was marked by significant strife, known as the [[

The Aranthian Renaissance years saw the foundation of the [[Council of Aranthia]] (1468 - 1820), pioneered by the king Aelion I of Coilletir and Dwynmar. The council, despite the raging wars between the various elven kingdoms, was the Aranthian establishment's first small step to creating a united elven convent on Aurora. Many see the Council of Aranthia as the Kingdom's natural predecessor.
''Main article: [[Durohamic Wars]]''
The Final Years of the Durohamic Wars refer to the closing phase of a protracted conflict that engulfed the kingdoms of Coilletir, Dwynmar, Antseanndeas, and Nuathuaid from the 18th to the 19th centuries. These kingdoms, once flourishing centers of culture and power in the region, became embroiled in a series of relentless struggles driven by territorial disputes, resource competition, and dynastic ambitions.

The Council of Aranthia, established in 1468 as a deliberative body aimed at mediating disputes and fostering cooperation among the warring factions, played a pivotal role during this tumultuous period. Despite its efforts, the conflict persisted, marked by a succession of significant battles that shaped the geopolitical landscape of the era.

Among the notable engagements were the Battle of Venshore in 1723, where the forces of Dwynmar clashed fiercely with those of Antseanndeas, resulting in a decisive victory for Dwynmar. Another pivotal moment was the Siege of Fort Durohami in 1789, a prolonged and brutal campaign that saw the combined forces of Coilletir and Dwynmar besiege the capital city of Antseanndeas, ultimately leading to its capitulation.

As the Durohamic Wars came to a close, the newly united kingdoms of Coilletir and Dwynmar found themselves beginning to rapidly industrialize, mainly in larger urban areas and in settlements that had access to the Azure Sea. Up until 1805, the Aranthians had mainly prided themselves on a rich agrarian culture, and many towns and cities in the area wanted to preserve said culture.
