Since the iron age, the region was dominated by the Kormistazic empire and its satellite states. The [[Norvians]] invaded the area in the 4th century and established many kingdoms in the north, though were ultimately reabsorbed. The Kormistazic Empire also established and administered colonial territories on [[Arcturia]] for several centuries. After a five decade long series of invasions by Morstaybishlia in the 16th century, the area was incorporated into the empire and was known as Korstazia, later becoming a principality. The [[Auroran Imperial War]] saw Korstazia gain independence as [[Norograd]], before Axdel was founded after the [[Norograd Civil War]] in 1996. The majority of Quartz Fern Coast was incorporated in 2003 in a referendum following the collapse of its government in the years prior.

====Koriba Catastrophe====
In 748 BCE, the Koriba volcano in the eastern Lyr valley experienced its most powerful eruption in recorded history, with a rating of 6 on the volcanic explosivity index. This caused devastating local effects, causing widespread crop failures due to the ash clouds and acid rain. Whilst all civilisations west of the Zycannes were impacted by the eruption, the nearby Teba empire was among those who suffered the most. In an attempt to recover quickly, the empire cut off most of its trade ties with surrounding states, many of which forged alliances with the Neo-Soltic Kingdom in order to force the Teba to continue trading. After continuing to refuse, the allied states began raiding Teban settlements and sparking a century long war.
