Line 83:
As early civilisations grew, the first empires formed. Numerous kingdoms existed in the Maltervenian Era but the era was defined by the Maltervenian Empire which grew to encompass all of north Aurora from the [[Molvian Corridor]] to the easternmost Jubrione evergreen rainforest. The Empire was ruled by the strict line of succession of the Jubrita dynasty and existed through rapid cultural and socio-economic change in Aurora through the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age.
The Maltervenians are most notable for the construction of Hamasin's Wall, a border wall with the Kormistazic Empire (today Axdel), and building large stone temples across the region that geometrically mimics the Chemrok Constellation over an area of 250,000 square kilometers. Evidence for Maltervenian mathematics is limited to a scarce amount of surviving sources written on leather, wood and stone. The Maltervenians utilised a numeral system for counting and solving written mathematical problems, often involving multiplication and fractions. From these texts it is known that ancient Maltervenians understood concepts of geometry, such as determining the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes useful for architectural engineering, and algebra, such as the false position method and quadratic equations.
Following the death of King Volkemur in 998 BCE, Maltervenia collapsed into civil war because of an inheritance dispute with his eleven children. The successor kingdoms that came from this war marked the beginning of the First Interregnum.
