=== Old Estam ===

According to traditional Esmiri historiography, the Estam ("enlightened kingdom") was established sometime in the late fourth millennium BC, being the setting for what is now known as the Old Documents in Orthodox Katharianism or the Chalash in ~~Old~~ Estamism. While much of these documents remain classified and kept in the North Castle Library, there are a few documents that are released to the public. The seven public books of the Old Documents describe a prehistoric betrayal of God by man and an army of fallen angels equipping the Irapkas (priest-kings) with forbidden knowledge. The majority of this forbidden knowledge is said to lie in the classified books. The Irapkas struggled against one another until there were nine left, whose tribes united to form the Estam. In the later Old Estam Period, God was revealed to Irapka Sesom I of Zayem, who was given a series of commandments as well as the power to appoint a new "King Layem" who would be the new emperor of the land under the Estam. The identity of King Layem is not known.

The years at which the events took place in the Old Estam are not clear, leading many aspects of its existence to be contested by secular historians, who hold the events in the Old Documents to scrutiny. Meanwhile, religious scholars argue for its legitimacy. Certain non-Estamite spiritual movements in the region hold the Old Documents in high regard.

What is most peculiar is that prior to Kathar, there was no "th" sound in Ancient Esmir. A new letter was created specifically for Kathar's name.

==== Secular perspective ====

Once again, beyond the events laid out in the Kathar Documents, what happened isn't quite clear. With Kathar having supposedly "ascended to heaven" according to the documents, secular historians interpret the implication of a final emperor as true. No one is sure precisely what happened from 1700 BC to 1500 BC aside from the continued spread of the Katharian faith. The Old Estamites seem to have disappeared in this time period. It is theorized that they fled Esmir and their ancestors founded Neo-Estamism in 1400 BC. Others theorize that they entirely converted to Katharianism or were persecuted.
