<!-- History -->
Modern Verian history begins with the rise of the Kingdom of Àthia, formed from the unification of the County of Kèr Seanaire with the lesser
The High Kingdom of Veria as it exists today was born in the aftermath of the [[Veria#Verian Consolidation Wars|Verian Consolidation Wars]], a series of military and religious conflicts spanning roughly the first half of the 14th century. By the conclusion of the Consolidation Wars, King Midir of Àthia held the crowns of all five kingdoms, and was crowned as the first High King of Veria. Under his rule the Verian Guilds came into formal power, and the exploration that would eventually lead to Verian colonialism began. The colonial period lasted from the 15th century to the early 20th, ending with the outbreak of the [[Great War]], and only briefly interrupted in the 18th century with the [[Veria#Guilder Revolt|Guilder Revolt of 1717]], which most historians mark as the origin of the contemporary Verian government.

Though there are many variations of bagpipes that developed independently throughout the world, the Àthian Warpipes are the most famous variant from Veria, closely followed by the smaller ''phìob bàrdach'', or "Bard's Pipes" (Àthaic: lit "bardic pipes"), which is still preferred by bardic traditionalists throughout the Verian Isles
