Halaria was an ancient civilization based around Lake Khuda and the Ekuos River, in what is now Azerin and Barradiwa. It was famously known for its dualist cosmology tied to the monsoon pattern. Ancient Halaria never unified, remaining as interconnected city states sharing a culture. Scholars tend to either split its 2 millenia long history into 3 periods (Old, Middle, and Late periods), into 6 (with 1 corresponding roughly to the Late Period, 2 and 3 to the Middle Period, and 4-6 to the Old Period), or a comprimise position of splitting period 4 into a "transitionary period" between Old and Middle Periods.

Legacy

Later civilizations would tie themselves to the legacy of Ancient Halaria. In the 11th C BCE, the city of Madrana had a “Halarian renaissance,” so Madranite Neo-Halarian became an important language of Early Iovism.
