Zeiberland: Difference between revisions

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, monstad and nordail. The Zeibear language, then known as Azana, had been fleshed out into a logo-syllabary. It's phonemes were very different and not many spoke it. Greater Alagad was thought to have been formed around the 870s making it one of the oldest cities in Zeiberland. The years until the early 800s were mostly uneventful, with the zeibeṣ people expanding their territories. Then one day, a ship sailed into the region west of Monstad. These were Salovian explorers who eventually brought with them human settlers. This also bought with them the religion of Thaerism. Those groups of foreigners who hadn't joined the Zeiban(then called Seyban) settled north of the Hlu river. The largest of these groups gave rise to the Eizyue empire. The Eizyue empire was tfairlyfairly diverse and had to deal with frequent infighting and other smaller states to the north of Eizyue. It was primarily humans and a supressed minority of elves. The Eizyue empire became a major threat to the Zeiban empire in the early 1200s. This caused a very big shift in the peninsula and thus began the age of conquest.
