History of Lugida

The recorded history of Lugida dates back from around the 2nd millennium BCE, under the Hallyn dynasty, although historical records from the Tigrate dynasty are known to describe kingdoms as far as the Kylon, which dates back from around 2100 BCE. The historical records also mentioned Lugida as a part of Qonklaks' Khon dynasty on about 2500 BCE, which has a profound influence on the Lugid culture in general. Lugida's history has been shaped by the almost-constant contact with the neighboring dynasties, the flourishing agriculture, the rise of Avism, and the significance of Lugida as a historical thalassocracy.

Prehistory

The earliest known traces of Lugid people date back from around 35,000 BCE, coming primarily from the first wave of Soltennan migration which started on around 50,000 BCE. The first wave goes from Ekuosia to Soltenna through Akulanen. Also brought in by the first wave are the early Qonklese, Riyan, and Xynder peoples, all of which show close genetic relationship with most of indigenous Lugid ethnic groups.

Rietic people form the earliest and the most of the modern populace. The group later diverged to form the two different dominant ethnic groups, the Lenthirites and the Melunes, respectively encompassing the areas south and north of the Hetaf River. Ancient Xynderian people reached the southern coast of Lugida on around 11,000 BCE, forming the Kitrian people. They encompass much of the southern coast of Lugida including parts of the Amiyant basin, and bear less genetic similarities with the other two ethnic groups. These three groups would form a combined percentage of 85 percent of the modern Lugid population.

Ngerupic people entered Lugida on 2nd millennium BCE, which then assimilates primarily with Kitrians, introducing more advanced fishing methods and longer-distance sailing to the region.

Agriculture in Lugida reached favorable conditions in the 9th millennium BCE, from which the earliest of Lugid cultures are founded.
