Line 1:
'''The Norvians''' were a primarily seafaring ethnolinguistic group who traversed the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] and [[Packilvanian Ocean]] between 300 BCE and 700 CE, invading and raiding large swathes of territory
Norvian history is generally accepted to start around 300 BCE in the [[Aspirian Isles]] when Marenian groups native to the islands began raiding campaigns into Codex Pontus. Their journeys northward brought them to West Novaris around 150 BCE where they eventually conquered and settled the land that is now present day Dallacqua. Entering into the Common Era, the Norvians left behind their holdings in Novaris and turned their attentions south to continue their acts of raiding, eventually pushing into the Packilvanian Ocean
The Norvians are distinguished for their seafaring culture, having migrated across large bodies of waters aboard their platform ships. They were fairly technologically advanced for the time, but due to their general disorganization, with the exception of declared expeditions, is attributed to causing their fall as the Norvian kingdoms and territories were absorbed by surrounding peoples and cultures over time. They are still remembered for their culture of raiding and pillaging, traveling far and wide to strike unsuspected coastal villages. The Norvian language would at times be adopted by the native populations that the Norvians came into contact with, leading to many modern languages that it evolved into remaining fairly similar to each other.

===Packilvanian Ocean===
No longer focused on Novaris, the Norvian chiefdoms around the Codex Pontus returned most of their attention to Southeast Yasteria and the mainland's eastern coast. The island of Codex and the Pontuarya Peninsula would be their main targets for conquest and raids. In 38 CE, the state of Lyon and the Kaoghonese Norvians agreed to end all hostilities in exchange for the allowance for Norvian bands to easily access the Packilvanian Ocean. Similar agreements were made with Codex, opening up an entire ocean to the Norvians.
