=== Foreigners and rise of empires ===
Around 200BCE, a group of people arrived at the island that is now known as Nordail. They built a small settlement there and for almost 3 centuries, no one was aware of a larger island. Circa 120 was when the foreign settlers realised that the 'larger jungle area' was in fact a peninsula that was inhabited. The two groups of settlements slowly mingled. There was one peaceful empire with only two large settlements,
=== The empires of the peninsula 1300s-1400s ===
The peninsula was slowly divided into different kingdoms. There were three main kingdoms that would be prevalent until the early 1500s. The three were the Eizyuez, the Zeibans and the Leshmans. These emipres were fairly peaceful other than minor conflicts until 1367 when the Leshmans annexed a smaller state, Wañor(now Wagnõr) which put them in direct contact with the Zeibans. Wañor was protected by Zeiban and when it was annexed, Zeiban, with its then ruler, Queen Khanzada II, decided to end the years of peace and one of the most important wars in the history of the peninsula begun. It lasted for almost 10 years from 1368 - 1377. The Leshmans were far weaker in terms of military strength. However their then ruler, Babar Majide won over the town of Savigle and Nemar fort. He was regarded as a tactical genius. However, he grew severely ill and his brother, Baad saw this opportunity and together with the Zeibans, assassinated Babar in 1375. Baad then was crowned ruler of Leshman, and Wañor was returned to the Zeibans. However, Baad wasn't satisfying with this deal and pretended to retreat while secretly setting up his troops to launch an attack on the retreating Zeban forces. However, Khanzada expected this and surprised Baad and killed him in the second battle of Wañor in 1376. The Leshmans kept fighting, however they were quickly overwhelmed and surrendered 8 months later. Thus ended the Leshman empire. The Zeibans annexed all territory to the north of Kanghiz (Now north Katalania). The small region below was freed from Leshman rule and thus came the region of Resenbool. Meanwhile, Eizyue prepared to launch an attack on the Zebans with their armies focused on the south. However, the winter of 1377 stalled the Eizyue long enough for the Zebans to march their armies back north. The Eizyue attack was slowed. However the Zeibans were weakened from battle with the Leshmans. The Eizyue wanted to take advantage of this and lauch an attack. They did, in 1378 and the Eizyue annexed some territory south of the Hlu river. However, after the death of their ruler, Armain Yegar due to disease, the Eizyue signed a peace treaty. It was taken over by a peace loving pacifist, Eidam Yegar from 1379 -1407. He was disliked by his own people and was gotten rid of a few years later. Eizyue expanded northward while Zeiban annexed Resenbool in 1421 and other smaller towns towards the centre. Only in
== Geography ==
Zeiberland is located on an island in south-west Yasteria. Zeiberland is neighboured by [[Lazlowia|Lazlowia and]] [[United Socialist Provinces of Rumrari|United Socialist Provinces of Rumrari.]] Zeiberland is made up of two islands, the main island and Nordail. Zeiberland has 4 major rivers flowing through it: ''Je Syein'' which comes from the [[United Socialist Provinces of Rumrari|Rumrari]] strait, ''J'Elanõr'' which flows from the mountains in the heart of Zeiberland, ''Je Hangs'' flows through Mõnstæd and ''Je Hlu'' flows through Ostenvil. The Hangs and The Hlu have numerous settlements based on the river banks. The Hlu historically seperated the Eizyue empire from the Zebans. ▼

=== Alagad battle 1857 ===
In 1842, a group of 30 or so thaerists came to together to form the Taybon association, later known as TAYIRISTIR. These people were thaerist extremists who believed that the Maists were plaguing their country and that the new atheist mindset would be the downfall of Zeiberland. They were based around the Thaerist village of tulagad in central Zeiberland which is presently towards the west of Alagad. Historically, the greater Alagad region was a thaerist hotspot (until the 'king's culling' incident). The taybon association took a violent approach to restoring thaerism. On the 19 July 1857, over a 100 tayristirs stormed the mayors office in Alagad with weapons. They burned down buildings and killed all the people who refused to join their cause. Many were killed or severely injured and on the 24 July, Zeibesh military entered Alagad. An evacuation was called and the most tragic event took place since the end of the civil war. Over 300 civilians and military personnel were killed. They attackers were executed or sent to the maximum security prison. On the 11th of August, 1857, a law was passed preventing all thaerists from practicing their religion in public or even mention or supporting thaerists.

=== The curse of Alagad ===
Greater Alagad was a small state that was formed in the 870s and lasted till 1572. There is a rather interesting and haunting story behind it: The people of Alagad, in 1671, were suspicious of their new ruler who was called, <s><u>'''''ẹ̴̈̆̉̐́̒é̸̜̩͚͌́̃͗͜'''þ̸̧̣̬̙͂̑͑"̵̢̪̞̃̍͑̈́͠ø̶͍̦͉̞̘̂́͐ç̶̧̼̤̯͍̃͐͊̀͘å̴̱̰̿ê̶̹̺̈́͗̅̃̚''</u></s>, as he supposedly had been involved with inhuman experiments. One day, a group of young salovian men decided to break into the kings laboratory. The things they found are unknown but they were horrible enough for the people of Alagad to revolt. Even the king's guards supported the public. The king was dethroned and was thrown in the prison in his own palace. A week later, the new king was crowned. The public breathed a sigh of relief. However, one night, the soldier meant to guard the former king's cell saw that he was gone. No break out, no attempt to leave, no body, just vanished. A few hours later, the palace was aflame. No one knew how the inferno started or whether anyone in the palace survived. The fires spread to nearby buildings at a rapid rate and people were ablaze. The account gets hazy after this. The next day, people were found dead in the hundreds due to an unkown disease. The waters turned crimson red. The nearby vegetation turned grey. The people who fled the city lived and called this the curse of Alagada. Very few of the remaining people lived and those who did, died a few years later. When the people returned to the city, they saw nothing. It was the same city except it was in ruins and there were no people. The palace seemed fine however. The people who stayed back and lived, said that they had seen the fallen god. The god that had come to punish them for killing the king. This is the Maist tale of the fallen king who apparently still sits on the throne of Alagad in the palace basement even today, surrounded by corpses and insects. It is believed by the Maists that the king <s><u>'''''ẹ̴̈̆̉̐́̒é̸̜̩͚͌́̃͗͜'''þ̸̧̣̬̙͂̑͑"̵̢̪̞̃̍͑̈́͠ø̶͍̦͉̞̘̂́͐ç̶̧̼̤̯͍̃͐͊̀͘å̴̱̰̿ê̶̹̺̈́͗̅̃̚''</u></s>, was the human incarnation of the fallen god Pesmenyoz or <s><u>''Ø̶̤̾̾ß̶̛̳̿̔̋̂ƒ̸͉̻̙̋̋̂̓̂͘¤̴͇̖̗̏͋͌̔̓̇µ̷̨̛̱̯̠̲̹̏̆̃̀¶̴̰̥̩̬͎̤̏†̷̢̙͙̬̅̋̾.''</u></s>
