The earliest evidence of sapient habitation within Tretrid's modern borders dates to approximately 1.6 million years ago. They are believed to have migrated from West Novaris through the Nalpian Mountains. During the Neolithic, agriculture started to spring up circa 7000 BCE along the Greatflood basin and spread out through the rest of Tretrid. Organized states followed, with political organization arriving in the form of city-states, and a writing system emerged circa 1000 BCE.
In the 1st century BCE, a city-state on the lower Greatflood, around modern Norþlofean, rapidly consolidated control of most of the Greatflood estuary through conquest and became known as the Threnan Kingdom due to its founder and the leader of these conquests traditionally being held to be the god Thret. Over the next century, the Threnan Kingdom would come to control most of the lower Greatflood and most of the coasts of the Bay of Lapinum c. 1 CE. It would continue to expand, pushing inwards into Efeast, and would gain suzerainty over a wider chunk of the Tretridian peninsula.
The eruption of Toré in 512 CE caused wide-scale agricultural disruption and famine, resulting in political instability and war that caused the complete collapse of Threna by 520 CE. What followed was the Tretridian Dark Age from about 520-800 CE, so named for the general scarcity of surviving records from the time by when the term was first used in the 13th century. Archaeological evidence from coinage suggests the existence of a major polity centered on the northernmost parts of the lower Greatflood, which historians have named Westrice ({{Lit.}} Western Kingdom) that existed from about 560 to about 700 CE, though not much is known about it.
