The earliest traces of [[wikipedia:Homo|human life]] in what is now any part of Aurora began in what today consists of areas in Staynes and Caltharus approximately 1.7 million years ago. During this period, the Strathepolic Ridge connected the continents of [[Aurora]] to [[Yasteria]] across the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]]. Over the ensuing millennia, Humans were confronted by a harsh and variable climates. Early hominids led a [[wikipedia:Nomad|nomadic]] [[wikipedia:hunter-gatherer|hunter-gatherer]] life. Caltharus has a large number of decorated caves from the [[wikipedia:Upper Palaeolithic|upper Palaeolithic era]]. At the end of the last glacial period (10,000 BCE), the climate became milder; from approximately 8,000 BCE, this part of North Aurora entered the [[wikipedia:Neolithic|Neolithic]] era and its inhabitants became [[wikipedia:Sedentism|sedentary]]. By the end of the region's prehistoric period, the earliest known Auroran culture had developed and is thought to belonged, in the main, to a culture termed Strathepolic.
 
After strong demographic and agricultural development between the 5th and 4th millennia BCE, metallurgy appeared at the end of the 4th millennium, initially working gold, copper and [[wikipedia:Bronze|bronze]], and later iron. Morstaybishlia has numerous [[wikipedia:megalith|megalithic]] sites from the Neolithic period. The Strathepolic culture would refine itself in the 3rd millennium BCE. Culutral groups across Morstaybishlia existed, separated into three distinct groups; the Stanks, the Kalts and the Vals. The EthalriedKrösnauen conquest into what is now Valeria in 109 CE saw the EthalriedKrösnauen Empire annex all of the land south of the [[Zycannes]] in one fell swoop, and then in 159 CE led an series of campaigns above the Zycannes into the Kingdoms of Kostaen, the Kingdom of Hortaen and the Kingdom of Burtael which made up modern Staynes. The Stayn people, the collective ethnicity of the three kingdoms, fought with determination and resilience, but faced a superior, professional army, and it is likely that between 400,000 and 650,000 may have perished in the conquest period.

Wars between the Staynish and the Valerians existed in many forms and has history going back to the Maltervenian Kingdoms. These skirmishes existed prominently around the Mouth of Elaspin, where many primary trade routes between north and south Aurora existed. The [[Staynes#Second Maltervenian Era (650 BCE - 512 CE)|second Kingdom of Maltervenia]] really pushed for territorial expanses and control of the Mouth of Elaspin during the early 1st millennium CE, where legendary stories, romances and poetry exist of [[Queen Eredhela]] leading the defence of the elven homeland between the 2nd and 5th centuries.
 
Staynes formed in an era of ashes when the second Kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)#Ethalrian tribes and the EthalriedKrösnauen Empire|EthalriedKrösnauen Empire]] was on stark decline. It was then where Staynes began its ethnic land reclamation and conquests, which extended into southern Aurora, and which exerted more energy and interest than predecessor civilisations in north Aurora. Staynes conquered the elven homeland in two successive waves between 1216 and 1256.
