Lupine settlement in the area dates to at least two thousand years before the present. At ~~about~~ ~~that~~ ~~same~~ ~~time~~, ursines migrating eastward, believed to have ultimately originated in [[Asendavia]], ~~began~~ ~~crossing~~ ~~through~~ ~~the~~ ~~region~~. These ursines would eventually settle primarily what is today [[Lunaeria]]. There was some violence between lupines and ursines during this period, and while the two species generally kept to their own communities, evidence of interaction is indicated by linguistic similarities between Vesienvällic and modern Asendavian. Ursines generally elected to continue migrating rather than remain in what is now Vesienväl, although there are still significant ursine communities today in the far northeast, near the border with Lunaeria. The ursines brought with them their [[Ademarism|Ademarist]] faith that did influence some lupine communities; however, the traditional Vesienvällic lupine animist faith remained predominant.

Over the course of time, lupine tribes consolidated into competing petty kingdoms. Some time near 1000 CE, the various lupine petty kingdoms in the area united under the banner of the Kingdom of Vesienväl. The name is believed to come from the Old Vesienvällic for "between the waters," referring to the sea to the north and the lakes to the south and east. Historical records from this era are incomplete and the exact date of the establishment of the Kingdom is unclear. The prevailing theories date the Kingdom to as early as 950 CE and as late as 1120 CE, depending on when the unification of the various petty kingdoms could be considered "complete." In any case, by the 12th century, the Kingdom's power over the entirety of the region was consolidated and would remain unchallenged until the 20th century.
