Migration Period

The Migration Period was a period of Anarian history that took place during the second half of the sixth millennium, characterised by the wide-scale migration of peoples around the continent and the upheaval that was often caused as a result. While historians and archeologists debate the exact beginning and end of the Migration Period, the general concensus is that the main Migration Period took place between 5600-5900.

One of the earliest and largest migrations was that of the Equitae of the central Anarian plains, who formed the Equitae Confederation. This in turn provoked many other migrations, including the migration of the Malorski-Lech peoples into eastern Anaria Major and modern-day Livaria. The Orkanan Realm of Stoldavia fell during, and arguably as a result of, the Migration Period, which preceded a period of instability and a power vacuum across northern Anaria. This set conditions for the establishment of the Dragar Monopoly and eventually the Great Stoldavic Empire. The long-term impact of the migrations is still debated, but has undoubtedly had a profound and long-lasting impact on languages, place-names and modern-day ethnic groups.
