=====Staynish conquests of Valeria=====
Since humans migrated into Aurora some fifty thousand years ago, they displaced the already established presence of [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves| Usprian elves]. In fact, this displacement can be seen so clearly when the term "Aurora" came from a human language and "Uspria" comes from ancient elvish language. Anatomically modern humans began settlements in northern Aurora, where Staynes, Caltharus and Tivot exist today. Later, humans would spread across the continent, co-existing with elven civilisation but occasionally wiping them out through war or plague. These factors, coupled with a much higher birth rate among humans, led to the demise of the old high Usprian civilisations, though many civilisations lived on into the 2nd millennium CE, in pockets of the [[Zycannes]] and other highlands, such as the [[Altfers]], but mainly through [[Valeria|ancient Valeria]] - which is regarded by historians as the elves' final stand as a nation state in Aurora, where they held the reigns of socio, economic and political power over their human counterparts.
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 the Zycannes, 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 the Zycannes 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 Ethalried Empire|Ethalried 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.
