History of Boroso

The history of the continent of Boroso spans many thousands of years.

Boroso is usually split into two parts, Upper Boroso in the north and Lower Boroso in the south. For most of its history, Upper Boroso has been dominated by the Theweric, Barmeki (or Dulic), and Kavrinian ethnicities. Lower Boroso has been dominated by the Yahara for much of its history.

Human Settlement

The first humans to settle Boroso were the Proto-Bavkir people, about -20,000. Next were the Proto-Thewerics, around -15,000, and the Proto-Upper-Borosans about -10,000.

Timeline

Ancient history

c. -7,000

The Ramekians develop agriculture in various areas along the northern coast of Boroso, especially around Lake Yaa. The staple crops of the Ramekians were sorghum, clubgrass, yams, and koima. The Mei, who lived much further west from Lake Yaa, continued their nomadic hunter-gatherer ways.

c. -6,000

Agriculture spreads to the remaining nomadic Theweric peoples, who split into two groups: the Dhwerans, residing in Thewer; and the Qëërlics, who settled the coasts of the Borosan Great Lakes.

c. -3,500 - Founding of Yāngeśa

The necessity for organization grew with the population and the complexity of agricultural techniques, until village chiefs had authority of several thousand people. The first true kingdom-level state, Yāngeśa (modern Lhavrinian Yaagesqyë), is founded around -3500, with epic accounts assigning this feat to the leader of the nearby settlement of Lāuneli, Kōsaram.

This also marks the end of prehistory, as the Ramekians developed writing around the time of the founding of Yāngeśa, using a logographic system. Usually, they wrote on dried palm leaves, or, for more permanent records, inscribed their writings in clay.

c. -3,000 - Proto-Upper Borosan migration

The Proto-Upper-Borosans, who hailed from an area south of modern Vaamek, began migrating and expanding north toward the Thewerics, first by invading and displacing the Qëërlics, and then moving further to push the Dhwerans out of Thewer.

c. -1,000

The Dhwerans, forced into action by impending invasion by the PUBs, move north toward the Ramekian-populated coast. More than a displacement than a conquering, the nomadic Mei and Feng peoples flee to the west, while the remaining settled Ramekians are assimilated into Dhwer (usually as slaves).

Meanwhile, the Czucz Empire, situated in the western part of the continent, rises to the height of its power.

c. -700

The Czucz Empire fractures into several merchant republics due to the rise in interconnected trade in that region of Lhavres.

c. -400

• Lhav Empire at its peak

Medieval Period

• Lhavres still divided

Kavrinia united

c. 513 - Great Dhweran Empire established

As the Dhweran city-states squabble over resources, trade, and wars, Bizlīka, the king of one of the most prosperous city-states, Kəzgāli, takes the opportunity to unify the territories under a single rule. Kəzgāli wins various wars with the local states (470-492), each time expanding with new territory. This position proves strong enough to serve as the basis for Bizlīka’s son, Winīzīka, to implement a massive conquest of the southern and western territories, as well as the reclamation of Thewer from the Dulics in 522. After some of his conquests in 513, Winīzīka declares himself the first Emperor and renames himself Kaɣisamnālīka--“conquerer of the old lands.” The subsequent Great Dhweran Empire lasts for almost 700 years.

1215 - Great Dhweran Empire collapses

The assassination of the emperor Nismaxitīka leads to major civil unrest in Dhwer, allowing Lhavres, in retaliation to losing Lake Yaa, to strike relentlessly. Without a leader, Dhwer quickly loses its western territories. A subsequent revolution stemming from the city of Paɣmāli formally ends the Great Dhweran Empire. In the next few decades, Paɣmāli and the other major Dhweran cities are ruled by a succession of generals and military leaders.
