The '''history of [[Soltenna]]''' is very long and complex due to its long history of written records and centralized states. From the earliest writing in what is now [[Qonklaks]] through the [[Avite Empire]]'s expansion from what is now [[Lugida]], to the formation of the [[Soltennan Council]], Soltenna's history is both a combination of domestic achievements and a microcosm of wider [[Sahar]] history.
The history of [[Soltenna]] is very long and complex due to its long history of written records and centralized states. From the earliest writing in what is now [[Qonklaks]] through the [[Avite Empire]]'s expansion from what is now [[Lugida]], to the formation of the [[Soltennan Council]], Soltenna's history is both a combination of domestic achievements and a microcosm of wider [[Sahar]] history.


==Prehistory==
==Prehistory==
During glacial periods of the [[Wikipedia:Quaternary|Quaternary]], when sea levels were lower, Soltenna and much of the Akulanen archipelago were part of a single landmass. It also created land bridges linking the Mirarian continent to [[Ekuosia]] and [[Nagu]]. These land bridges were the Veridian land bridge in the [[Veridia|Veridian peninsula]], the Draconic land bridge in western Maritime Soltenna and the Draconic Islands, and the Terminian land bridge in Akulanen, although the latter didn't form during the Last Glacial Maximum. Jikhein Sea and Amiyant Sea, bordered by the Sialan and Xynden Isles respectively, had became lakes.


===Paleolithic===
Modern humans originating from Ekuosia migrated to Soltenna through the two bridges. The first wave of migrations to Soltenna is dated to around 50,000 BCE, where humans migrated primarily through the Terminian land bridge. They, along with humans from other waves and those migrating from the Veridian land bridge, would comprise a significant part of Mirarian human population today. Genetic and archaeological studies of [[Lake Soltenna]] and [[Yená Basin]] populations trace their ancestral origins to Northwest Mirarian tribes inhabiting north of Suenia River.


c. 80,000-60,000 BCE: First migration wave of humans arrives on Miraria.
==Ancient era==
Much of Soltennan ancient history is centered around the river valleys of [[Central Basin]]. The region encompasses the [[Cuáma River|Cuáma]] and [[Acre (river)|Acre rivers]], as well as its river basin. The Ancient Riyan name '''Argaṭ'' translates to "(Two) Flowing Waters", which refers to the two rivers; it can also be interpreted as an area between [[Lake Soltenna]] and the [[Amiyant Sea]]. Central Basin's favorable climate and soil fertility allowed it to be the site to one of the world's earliest civilizations.
c. 50,000 BCE: First migration wave of humans in Soltenna, arriving from Ekuosia through Terminian land bridges, with first steps on Soltenna being on modern-day Quaxin Xun.
c. 30,000 BCE: Second migration wave of humans in Soltenna, coming from the east through Veridia to Vaniu to Yerlan, continuing up until Naria.
c. 20,000BCE: Prehistoric Hux Kham-Ame people arrive in the western islands of Soltenna, including the islands of Vemou and Kema Mi Amo.
c. 18,000-15,000 BCE: Migration from Ekuosia through Akulanen into Boroso of Bavkirs and proto-Sangmians.


===Neolithic===
===Neolithic===
Cultures identified as Neolithic in the continent can be traced back to 7,000{{nbsp}}BCE. Cassava and yam was first cultivated on around 6,000{{nbsp}}BCE in Akulanen. Early evidence of oat cultivation in a Yená River site is carbon-dated to 4,400{{nbsp}}BCE. Proto-Vaniuans started to migrate west into Soltenna on 3,500{{nbsp}}BCE, bringing with them [[Wikipedia:Emmer|emmer wheat]], which then proliferated as the staple food in much of Mainland Soltenna.


c. 4500 BCE: Possible ancestors of Hux Kham-Qgam people start to move to the continental area from Vemou islands.
(Name) culture of Suvec, dating back to 5500{{nbsp}}BCE, built some of the oldest known sites of neolithic settlements in the region. They practiced a sedentary, agricultural lifestyle. Early evidence of writing in the region is found in the (Northern Riyan) site near Leibhmobhn. Carbon-dated to 4,000{{nbsp}}BCE, these pottery artifacts displaying pictogram markings were theorized to be divination records, possibly ancestral to modern Qonklese characters. The (Sév) site (3,500{{nbsp}}BCE) housed large numbers of Neolithic artifacts, which suggested a large permanent settlement and possibly an early form of civilization.
c. 4000 BCE: Several cultures appear in the area of modern country of Hux Kham, but their relationship with Hux Kham people is uncertain, more research needs to be done.

The writing itself is thought to be written in Old East Xyndic, yet being quite a short document, has left the rest of the language to be reconstructed.


===Period of disunity===
===Predynastic era===
Soltenna's predynastic era starts from around 4000{{nbsp}}BCE, and is marked by the rise of Bronze Age cultures and migrations of [[Ngerupic peoples|Ngerupic]] and [[Rietic peoples]].


1210 BCE: The Ngộc Dynasty (岳) dissolves; the Warring States Period begins.
Ngerupic peoples trace their origins to the Wa culture in modern-day [[Magali]], related to the older Oã' culture. They expanded by sea and founding settlements on around 3000 BCE. Rietic peoples originate from mainland Soltenna, migrating on a similar timeframe. Archaeological and linguistic analysis placed varying theories over the group's origins; the widely held theory placed their urheimat to a portion of the [[Rietic Mountains]] in central [[Kadya]], approximately on the site of the Raortann culture.
-1210~1206: Establishment of the six warlord-controlled semi-states:
        - Gơm (金)
- Lôu (遼)
- Chim (詹)
- Diịr (爾)
- Chiôu (朱)
- Diin (晨)
1204 BCE: The first Xynden to sail over to modern day city of Duoc Tic, colloquially known as the “Tree Xynden”, was told by legend that he stopped a group of lumberjacks from cutting down a tree from the city center. From then on, the “Tree Xynden” was remembered as the person who introduced the idea of city trees to Qonklaks.

===Beginnings of re-unification===


720 BCE: The Gơm (金) State surrenders to Chiôu (朱).
===Early dynasties===
Dynastic era in Soltenna started on around 2000{{nbsp}}BCE, when the first Basin dynasties arose.

602 BCE: Chim (詹) falls to Chiôu ().
Qonklese history traditionally dates back to 2520 BCE to the time of Elder Wa, a kingdom (presumably a city-state) situated in the Amiyant Sea basin, considered mythical by historians. Archaeological findings in the Bruvlán site suggested a Qonklese settlement dating back to 2050 BCE, but its relationship with Elder Wa is disputed. [[Dynastic Wa]], a Qonklese civilization originating from around modern [[Cuáma]], was first confirmed by scientific studies in 1962 after excavations at the Iobhré site revealed Bronze Age artifacts{{emdash}}pottery and small statues believed to be Qonklese in origin{{emdash}}radiocarbon-dated to 1600{{nbsp}}BCE. According to the antiquity-era historical record ''Chronicle of Ancients'', the Wa reigned from around its traditional founding year of 2520 BCE until its fall in 1450{{nbsp}}BCE, spanning primarily within the lowlands of the Central Basin. Later excavations of nearby Ancient Qonklese sites found several artifacts linked to those found in the Iobhré site, which confirmed the existence of Dynastic Wa.
557 BCE: Tigrate is challenged by a Riyan dynasty, and begins to decline.
c.500 BCE: Expansion of Ngerupic peoples has reached nearly its largest extent, due mainly to the Mañi speakers’ coastal expansion up the islands into Soltenna and what is now Quaxin Xun. The Ngerupic peoples are divided into about six ethnolinguistic groups: Mañi speakers, Imañi speakers, Va Ñi speakers, Wanyima-Wanyuu speakers, Wan Ji speakers, Ɔ Ñi speakers, and Proto-Vemou speakers.
The Mañi speakers are advanced, warfaring seafarers, stretching from the north coast of Akulanen into southern Soltenna.
The Imañi speakers are dispersed through the islands of what is now Eimam, where they coexist with preexisting peoples.
The Va Ñi speakers have developed an extremely complicated kinship system in far northwest Magali and speak an intermediary between Mañi and Wanyima-Wanyuu.
The Wanyima-Wanyuu speakers, depending more highly on pastoralism than the other branches, live in the highlands of what is now northern Magali.
The Wan Ji speakers are mountain dwellers in central Magali, speaking an intermediary between Wanyima-Wanyuu and Ɔ Ñi
The Ɔ Ñi speakers, with sophisticated pottery techniques, live in the tropical lowlands in the south and east.  
The Proto-Vemou speakers have arrived in Vemou by now.
465 BCE: Diịr (爾) falls to Diin (晨).
359 BCE: Tigrate is overthrown by the Altha dynasty.
342 BCE: Sherval invades Syvoyen (which had not yet been united) to form a single nation: Xynderland.
c. 300BCE: The ancestors of the Mroksa people come to the area surrounding Lake Soltenna from Baredina.
300 BCE: Diin (晨) falls to Chiôu (朱). The Warring States Period ends. Establishment of the Chiôu (朱) dynasty.


===Qonklese-foreign conflict===
The first dynasty of [[Ire]], also known as Ire I, was founded by (Nameson) and reigned from 1800 to 1410{{nbsp}}BCE. ''Chronicle of Ancients'' wrote that in its peak, Ire I reigned over large swaths of the river Acre, reaching as far as the [[Rietic Mountains]] in Kadya. Ire I's existence is confirmed by archaeological evidence found in the Håwret site, which uncovered artifacts with several logographic inscriptions resembling Qonklese characters, and ones considerably similar to artifacts from later Iris dynasties.


c. 250 BCE: Xynderland isolates itself from its neighboring countries.
Much of lowland river Acre (and Cuáma River) is navigable by boat and housed a great number of fertile soil, allowing Basin dynasties to profit and expand from their large swaths of agricultural land and trade along the rivers.
231 BCE: The Chiôu Dynasty () campaigns against the early Aeyakaimian tribes.
229 BCE: Aeyakaimia becomes a Qonklese Vassal State.
200 BCE: Kingdom of Qgam is supposedly founded by King Gpšo Khear Ļaaw. As the dating of Gpšo Khear Ļaaw’s reign does not match the historical records, this is generally believed to be legendary. Gpšo Khear Ļaaw may in fact have existed a century later, but the details are not well recorded.
99 BCE: 朱陵皇 (Chiôu Lơng Khưông), the 16th Emperor of the Chiôu Dynasty, is assassinated by the Rekwan resistance. His son, 朱武皇 (Chiôu Mỗu Khưông), the 17th Emperor of the Chiôu Dynasty, rises to the throne.
98 BCE: 朱武皇 (Chiôu Mỗu Khưông), being spoiled and treasured by his father before him, has become a weak and corrupt emperor, and is disliked by the public. The Supreme Eunuch Gôu Khôu (高浩), that Chiôu Mỗu Khưông most trusted, betrays him and pushes him off the balcony of the Teal Forbidden Palace on July 6th that very year. The Chiôu Dynasty falls two days after. Gôu Khôu takes the throne and declares the establishment of the Gôu Dynasty (高).


97 BCE: Emperor Gôu Khôu (高浩皇) issues a campaign to stamp out Rekwan resistance holdouts.  
<!--The dynasty was described to have ruled between 1640 and 1310 BCE and ruled the area described as the "Land of the Two Great Waters", which includes modern [[Cuáma]] and Cuámbhail Province. Their capital is located on (Name) on modern Bruvlás. First Dynasties derived much of their state income from their large agricultural output, thanks to their network of irrigation systems and Acre riverside's largely fertile soil. New lands to the east became subject to First Dynasty's economically motivated expansion.


99 BCE: Earliest written documentation of Qgam tribe (鄭族) appears in Gôu Dynastic records.
First Dynasty's reign ended on around 1300 BCE as the nearby Qonklese (Naame) Dynasty conquered the capital (Name), taking over the dynasty's original heartland in the process. However as a result, local chiefs of eastern First Dynasty broke off to found the Second Dynasty as they decline to submit to their new Qonklese emperor. -->
===Warring states period===
c.75 BCE: First Terminian contact with Ngerupic peoples in Akulanen.
62 BCE: Rekwan campaign fails. Emperor Gôu Khôu’s surviving soldiers are executed by Rekwan rebels.
 
61 BCE: Rekw declares independence from the Gôu Dynasty (). The Rekw-Gôu wars begin.
c. 50 BCE: The earliest known time, based on an archeological evidence, for the presence of ethnic Hux Khams around Lake Soltenna and the Smoky Mountains.

1930s: Borosan War
The conquests brought immediate attention from both Soltennan and Vaniuan empires and dynasties at the time. One extreme example is Qonklaks' [[Lou Dynasty]]. Under the fear of Letsatia eliminating or superseding Qonklese influence in Soltenna, the dynasty gathered representatives from Soltennan dynasties to gain support for a joint war against Letsatia. Included among these is Lugida's [[Altha Dynasty]] whose coastal area was lost to the empire. The dynasties unanimously decided to launch a joint war beginning in 90 CE. Military progress would remain stagnant on both sides throughout the war. Eventually the war exhausted most of the dynasties' treasuries, effectively sparking numerous internal conflicts within the dynasties which caused Lou Dynasty to break apart into five states. This marks the beginning of the dynastic system's decline in the Sharkunen basin in favor of the Letsatian system of governance.
November 2nd, 1930: The last Qgamic King, Pçer Cgwaaw, is overthrown, and the New Qgam Republic, a modern parliamentary government, is set up.


===Fascist Qonklaks===
Letsatia adopted [[Iovism]] on around 112 CE and it began to spread throughout much of the Sharkunen basin. Iovism was met with initial resistance from many people already adhering to their indigenous religions, including Yerlanis and Lugids. Iovism only began to be widely accepted on around 136 CE through its two branches. One is called [[Avism]], which originated in Lugida near modern-day [[Kitlimis]]. It spread within Lugida, but remained confined in the region before the 3rd century CE. The other is [[Pauegism]] from [[Vaniu]].


March 4th, 1939: Tsí Đúng is voted into the Qonklese Parliament; the Qonklese Republic becomes officially fascist.
[[Peace of Galadrosia]], followed by a series of civil wars across Letsatia-occupied Miraria, crippled the Letsatian Empire's influence and power in Miraria. Severe impact of the wars prompted Letsatian emperor [[Madrandas]] to end his support for the Mirarian colonization, until eventually the empire left Miraria almost completely on around 191 CE. By this time the former Letsatian lands in the Sharkunen Basin have broken apart into numerous empires ruled by indigenous people.
September 30th, 1939: Aten Katle launches a coup d’etat on the Lugid government at this time.

Latest revision as of 11:37, 22 April 2021

The history of Soltenna is very long and complex due to its long history of written records and centralized states. From the earliest writing in what is now Qonklaks through the Avite Empire's expansion from what is now Lugida, to the formation of the Soltennan Council, Soltenna's history is both a combination of domestic achievements and a microcosm of wider Sahar history.

Prehistory

During glacial periods of the Quaternary, when sea levels were lower, Soltenna and much of the Akulanen archipelago were part of a single landmass. It also created land bridges linking the Mirarian continent to Ekuosia and Nagu. These land bridges were the Veridian land bridge in the Veridian peninsula, the Draconic land bridge in western Maritime Soltenna and the Draconic Islands, and the Terminian land bridge in Akulanen, although the latter didn't form during the Last Glacial Maximum. Jikhein Sea and Amiyant Sea, bordered by the Sialan and Xynden Isles respectively, had became lakes.

Modern humans originating from Ekuosia migrated to Soltenna through the two bridges. The first wave of migrations to Soltenna is dated to around 50,000 BCE, where humans migrated primarily through the Terminian land bridge. They, along with humans from other waves and those migrating from the Veridian land bridge, would comprise a significant part of Mirarian human population today. Genetic and archaeological studies of Lake Soltenna and Yená Basin populations trace their ancestral origins to Northwest Mirarian tribes inhabiting north of Suenia River.

Ancient era

Much of Soltennan ancient history is centered around the river valleys of Central Basin. The region encompasses the Cuáma and Acre rivers, as well as its river basin. The Ancient Riyan name 'Argaṭ translates to "(Two) Flowing Waters", which refers to the two rivers; it can also be interpreted as an area between Lake Soltenna and the Amiyant Sea. Central Basin's favorable climate and soil fertility allowed it to be the site to one of the world's earliest civilizations.

Neolithic

Cultures identified as Neolithic in the continent can be traced back to 7,000 BCE. Cassava and yam was first cultivated on around 6,000 BCE in Akulanen. Early evidence of oat cultivation in a Yená River site is carbon-dated to 4,400 BCE. Proto-Vaniuans started to migrate west into Soltenna on 3,500 BCE, bringing with them emmer wheat, which then proliferated as the staple food in much of Mainland Soltenna.

(Name) culture of Suvec, dating back to 5500 BCE, built some of the oldest known sites of neolithic settlements in the region. They practiced a sedentary, agricultural lifestyle. Early evidence of writing in the region is found in the (Northern Riyan) site near Leibhmobhn. Carbon-dated to 4,000 BCE, these pottery artifacts displaying pictogram markings were theorized to be divination records, possibly ancestral to modern Qonklese characters. The (Sév) site (3,500 BCE) housed large numbers of Neolithic artifacts, which suggested a large permanent settlement and possibly an early form of civilization.

Predynastic era

Soltenna's predynastic era starts from around 4000 BCE, and is marked by the rise of Bronze Age cultures and migrations of Ngerupic and Rietic peoples.

Ngerupic peoples trace their origins to the Wa culture in modern-day Magali, related to the older Oã' culture. They expanded by sea and founding settlements on around 3000 BCE. Rietic peoples originate from mainland Soltenna, migrating on a similar timeframe. Archaeological and linguistic analysis placed varying theories over the group's origins; the widely held theory placed their urheimat to a portion of the Rietic Mountains in central Kadya, approximately on the site of the Raortann culture.

Early dynasties

Dynastic era in Soltenna started on around 2000 BCE, when the first Basin dynasties arose.

Qonklese history traditionally dates back to 2520 BCE to the time of Elder Wa, a kingdom (presumably a city-state) situated in the Amiyant Sea basin, considered mythical by historians. Archaeological findings in the Bruvlán site suggested a Qonklese settlement dating back to 2050 BCE, but its relationship with Elder Wa is disputed. Dynastic Wa, a Qonklese civilization originating from around modern Cuáma, was first confirmed by scientific studies in 1962 after excavations at the Iobhré site revealed Bronze Age artifacts—pottery and small statues believed to be Qonklese in origin—radiocarbon-dated to 1600 BCE. According to the antiquity-era historical record Chronicle of Ancients, the Wa reigned from around its traditional founding year of 2520 BCE until its fall in 1450 BCE, spanning primarily within the lowlands of the Central Basin. Later excavations of nearby Ancient Qonklese sites found several artifacts linked to those found in the Iobhré site, which confirmed the existence of Dynastic Wa.

The first dynasty of Ire, also known as Ire I, was founded by (Nameson) and reigned from 1800 to 1410 BCE. Chronicle of Ancients wrote that in its peak, Ire I reigned over large swaths of the river Acre, reaching as far as the Rietic Mountains in Kadya. Ire I's existence is confirmed by archaeological evidence found in the Håwret site, which uncovered artifacts with several logographic inscriptions resembling Qonklese characters, and ones considerably similar to artifacts from later Iris dynasties.

Much of lowland river Acre (and Cuáma River) is navigable by boat and housed a great number of fertile soil, allowing Basin dynasties to profit and expand from their large swaths of agricultural land and trade along the rivers.

Warring states period

Antiquity

Letsatian expansion

Letsatian Empire at its height, c. 171 CE.

On 25 CE, Letsatia started to conquer Akulanen, thus beginning the Letsatian expansion into Miraria. Letsatia would then continue to conquer most of Akulanen lands and the Gulf of Sharkunen, turning the region into Letsatian colonies. During this period, Ekuosian influence in Soltenna flourished, and Soltenna saw a rapid growth in technology and economy. This period also marked the zenith of Ekuosian influence on Soltenna.

The conquests brought immediate attention from both Soltennan and Vaniuan empires and dynasties at the time. One extreme example is Qonklaks' Lou Dynasty. Under the fear of Letsatia eliminating or superseding Qonklese influence in Soltenna, the dynasty gathered representatives from Soltennan dynasties to gain support for a joint war against Letsatia. Included among these is Lugida's Altha Dynasty whose coastal area was lost to the empire. The dynasties unanimously decided to launch a joint war beginning in 90 CE. Military progress would remain stagnant on both sides throughout the war. Eventually the war exhausted most of the dynasties' treasuries, effectively sparking numerous internal conflicts within the dynasties which caused Lou Dynasty to break apart into five states. This marks the beginning of the dynastic system's decline in the Sharkunen basin in favor of the Letsatian system of governance.

Letsatia adopted Iovism on around 112 CE and it began to spread throughout much of the Sharkunen basin. Iovism was met with initial resistance from many people already adhering to their indigenous religions, including Yerlanis and Lugids. Iovism only began to be widely accepted on around 136 CE through its two branches. One is called Avism, which originated in Lugida near modern-day Kitlimis. It spread within Lugida, but remained confined in the region before the 3rd century CE. The other is Pauegism from Vaniu.

Peace of Galadrosia, followed by a series of civil wars across Letsatia-occupied Miraria, crippled the Letsatian Empire's influence and power in Miraria. Severe impact of the wars prompted Letsatian emperor Madrandas to end his support for the Mirarian colonization, until eventually the empire left Miraria almost completely on around 191 CE. By this time the former Letsatian lands in the Sharkunen Basin have broken apart into numerous empires ruled by indigenous people.
