The history of Salovia extends back to the first inhabitants of Aurora. The [[Kurieti Site]] in Biramura is cited as one of the oldest pieces of evidence of human inhabitation of the continent, dating back to 350,000 years ago. The site contains an array of fossils, arrowheads, and cave paintings. The Salovian region is home to many of the oldest examples of civilization as well, including the [[Nelokhvi Empire]], a large empire that spanned much of the southern coast of Aurora and much of the [[Khermali river]]. It, along with a number of other civilizations would endure for a millenium, more or less, until a little understood event known as the [[Great Vanishing]] occurred, wherein all evidence of advanced culture was suddenly halted by an unknown cause. A resurgence of civilizations sprouted up around the 8th century BCE, to include the [[Nobility of Er]], the Nilovite civilizations, and the [[Kveshi Empire|Kveshi]] trade culture. The Nobility of Er, after merging with the smaller [[Nobility of Fughala]], formed the [[Kingdom of Suvol]], whilst the Kveshi would [[The Sacking of Nilovia|sack the Nilovite cities]], and organized into the Kveshi Empire. The northward expansion of the Kveshis and the southward expansion of the Suvolis resulted in their meeting, and the start of the [[Azure Wars]]. The Azure Wars concluded with the assassination of the last king of Suvol, Rorik II by Kveshi king [[Rorik the Conqueror|Odelfv]]. The two empires were merged by Odelfv, who renamed himself to Rorik III after marrying Rorik II's sister Ennala to form Salovia, with the agreeance of the Suvolic [[Boliari]] and cessions made to appease them.
