Prehistory

It is believed that around the year 20 CE Maponics arrived to the Hatariew River mouth, where Laina sits. Over the years, the first inhabitants of the region where a group of nomadic tribes that did not settled down until the year 200 CE as hunters and berry collectors alongside the costs and lakes of nowadays South Jute, but the first Juteans did not arrived until the year 100 CE.

During the 5th century, chiefdoms arose all over Maponia, as a first attempt of an organized society which, would not arrived until the 14th century. The most important chiefdoms where Zintale and Ćittale on East Mermelia. This century on Mermelian History is well known for the numerous raids that the Eastern Chiefdoms suffered from the nomadic Aedamic tribes from the east, this implies a long way war against the foreign nomads. By 507 CE, on West Mermelia, the first chiefdoms were founded, the most important being Onstale, near Lake Onsmapan, and Optale near Lake Ćoriamapan.

Aedamo-Maponic Wars

The Aedamo-Maponic Wars were a series of wars between the Maponic Chiefdoms and Aedamic Nomadic Tribesmen, where both sides had severe casualties. It is believed that this period commenced around the year 590 CE, right after the Recovery Era of the East Maponic Chiefdoms from previous wars with other chiefdoms and Aedamic raiders.

The first major war between Aedamics and Maponics started on 613 CE, where the leader of the nomads attempted to conquer Ćittale in order to expand his dominion over the region. Maponic had an advantage, they knew the surrounding land very well, but that was not enough to stop the nomads. The war started and at first Aedamics hit with all they power, raiding some farms along the way, Maponic bravely fought until the very last moment. The were some major battles like the Battle of Ćitmapan where the Aedamic raiders were defeated. By 620 CE the war was coming to an end and by 621 CE the war was over with no real winner, both sides have fiercely fought during eight years, all their supplies where almost empty, therefore, they agreed to stop the war and both sides withdraw from the battle field. During the war appeared one of Mermelia national heroes, their name was Owarean Gaiz.

Medival History

The mermelian medival era begins with the first contact with gfiewish people around 700 CE, coinciding with the expantion of the gfiewish influence over Lufasa across the river. Trade between the two people groups was stablished as a peaceful solution to a conflict.

Around 845 CE, near the Onsmapan lake, the biggest lake on ystel, the Onstale chiefdom conquered the nearby chiefdoms of Maltale, Sintale and Maćtale, stablishing the Mapotale chiefdom (an ancestor of the Maponic Empire), this is the beging of the expansionist era of the Mapotale chiefdom. They expanded westwards reaching Laina, modern day South Jute, by 1200 CE, as well as eastwards reaching the Optale chiefdom, modern day Pomatale. Expanding, as well, the maponic faith: Aroism.

During this period of Mapotali expansion (from 845 CE to 1470 CE), the west maponic people stablished trade deals with South Juteans, in order to protect them against the Mapotale Chiefdom. Aedamic raids where still common on the most eastern frontiers of the Zintale and Ćittale chiefdoms. In a desperate movement to protect themselves, and southern juteans, they united, forming the Owatalea chiefdom in 1250 CE (the name Owa is derived from Owarean Gaiz, their first chief of Owatale and legendary warrior).

The main reason of this expansionist campaign was a religious one: Mapotale chiefdom leader NAME NAMESON, dreamt about Aroe telling him to retake the ancestral maponic city of Laina and the lake Ćitmapan, as it was believed that there was a lake, on eastern part of the land, that could give inmortality to every whorthy one, and of course, NAME NAMESON believed that he was the Whorthy one.
