Boasting a rich history of culture, the Bishlec states formed the basis of elvish and cava civilisation as we know it after the [[Great Vanishing]] some three thousand years ago, expanding and contracting several times before a period of unification in the 11th century, forming modern Kaltariezh. Cava and elvish populations would be outcompeted by the descendent human population of [[Staynes|Estenes]], and by the mid 13th century saw the end of its last non-human ruling dynasty. Forming an empire by the early 15th century after expansionism into the [[Cerenerian Ocean]], the Kaltariezh Empire (Kaltarimpalaeriezh) settled and then colonised the Inizi Reterdelien by 1424 (what is today the westermost islands in the [[Morstaybishlian Cerenerian Territories]]) and [[Jusdelva]] by 1483.
 
Kaltariezh would enter a period of civil war in 1497 between two members of the Cadoret dynasty vying for control of the throne. Both Kirus and Azenor controlled vast armies and had a relatively equal claim to the throne. In 1501, Azenor married [[Lambertus III|Lambertus III of Staynes]], and combining their forced won the Kaltariezh[[Kaltariz ThroneCivil War]] by 1505. Lambertus and Azenor's son, [[Lambertus IV]], would inherit rule of the Staynish-Kaltariezh Empire and unified them politically in 1515, forming [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]]. Kaltariezh contributed to the expansion of Morstaybishlia through the [[Western Auroran Crusades]] from 1523 to 1575 which saw the defeat and annexation of the Kormistazic Empire. Beyond Aurora-proper, Kaltariezh contributed to the expansion of Morstaybishlia starting with the establishment of colonies in [[Arcturia]], [[Gondwana]], and [[The Oan Isles|the Oan Isles]].
 
Following the [[Posolic Wars]] of the 19th century, Kaltariezh was forced to cede territory to the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian Empire]] and [[Biramura]]. Slavery declined after the [[Second Morsto-Oan War]] in the mid-19th century and abolished altogether throughout the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] including in Kaltariezh following the signing of the Great Charter of the Liberties in 1917. Kaltariezh regained the territories which had been ceded to Ethalria following the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. The country was heavily invaded and suffered severe bombardment during the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]]. Kaltariezh is scheduled to relinquish the Marislian region no later than 2025 following the 2022 [[Marislia]] independence referendum. Today, Kaltariezh is governed directly by [[Succession to the Morstaybishlian Throne|His Majesty’s]] Government (via a Minister in the [[Cabinet of Great Morstaybishlia]]) with the [[Parliament of Great Morstaybishlia]] wielding legislative authority over the nation. Nevertheless, it maintains a distinct legal system and its provinces have limited decision-making power over local affairs.
