History of Atregona

This article is a work in progress.

The history of Atregona covers the period from pre-history to the modern nation-state of Atregona.

Pre-History and Ancient History ( x - 3300 RH)

The Eccasian Archipelago was inhabited by early hominids between 1.5 million years ago and as recently as 35,000 years ago. Modern humans are believed to have reached the region over 40,000 years ago, demonstrating advanced maritime skills. The Tragonic languages, which are unrelated to Kachal-Anarian languages, suggest that the Tragoni people or culture occupied central Anaria before the spread of Kachal-Anarian languages.

Erecund period (3309 - 6225)

In 3309 RH the religion of Erecund was created in the Atregona peninsula with the erection of the holy tablet of Erecund. This tablet was forced by a thunder striking a limestone tablet, engraving it with eight lines with rules. This religion spread south via Ekhijal sea to the Ekhixal islands. The religion spread into large part of the region causing the creation of the Indaric Empire an ancient Tragonic-speaking thalassocratic empire with Erecund at its center. This empire controlled the Ekhijal Sea and influenced the eastern, central, and southern Anarian seaboards through a network of client kingdoms. The Indaric Empire became a dominant force in Anaria but with expanse of the empire and the neighboring region following a different religions, religious rival were created. Many kingdoms of Anaria were not welcoming the Tragoni and their religion so they headed north and land in Erapo on the island of Nester Mayor. Here it was welcomed and the kingdom of Erapo used the Erecund religion to create the Erinic Empire. The Indaric Empire helped the Erinic Empire establish a strong grasp over the island. The Erinic Empire became a close ally of the Indaric Empire. After both the Indaric Empire and the Erinic Empire becomes dominant and stable powers, the Erecund golden age began and lasted from 4219 until 4823 RH.

The kingdoms bordering the Indaric Empire were getting more problematic, fueled by the difference in religion. The two empires fought many battles around the Ekhijal sea but when The Erinic Empire faced more internal struggles due to foreign religions and the grand plague of 4823 RH which also reached the Indaric Empire. The loss of life and stability caused the Erinic Empire to pull out of the Ekhijal to defend their home land from rebels and pirates. The withdraw of Erinic forces from the Ekhijal region, the Indaric Empire stood alone and they started losing increasing more wars. Because the plague of 4823 RH hit the Indaric Empire less hard, the Indaric Empire was more able to hold the empire mostly together even though they lost land mostly in the east and the south. When the Erinic Empire and the Indaric Empire had recovered from the plague of 4823 RH in 5001 RH, almost right after, a war with the Western broke out again. The Indaric Empire and the Erinic Empire fought together again to defend the homeland of land Erecund in the many religious wars but the war of 5264 RH, was very costly mostly for the war support of the Erinic Forces. The Erinic lords pressured the king of the Erinic Empire to pull Erinic Empire to weakened it grasp over the island.

By 5329 the Erinic Empire collapsed and the Indaric Empire lost its main ally. The Indaric Empire went on the defensive and focussed on trade instead. The Indaric Empire signed a non-agression pact with most of its neighbours which meant the regional wars cooled down, at least the ones involving the Indaric Empire. This peacefull new are caused the creation of an Indaric Empire maritime trade focussed economy. The Indaric Empire opened up trading post on many coastlines they explored and bought from other, a few of these trading post were on the island of Nestor Mayor, helping the many lords who were fighting on the island to stay up to date.

In 6224 RH the Indaric Empire once again found itself in another brutal religious war by Meyistri tribes from the south and Cheltai and Karsk tribes from the north during the migration period. The entire Indaric Empire was falling apart without the Erinic Empire there to safe the Indaric Empire, the empire lost a lot of land and it lost many islands.

Rise of the Kingdom of Atregona (Atregonako Erreinua) (6225 - 7000)

The only regions that were not captured by 6235 RH were the Atregona peninsula and the Ekhixal islands but they were split into two new kingdoms, the Kingdom of Atregona and the Kingdom of Ekhixal. The two kingdoms stayed close allies and in 6288 RH they took back the Bakearen islands and the Urtzain island. The Kingdom of Atregona also managed to take back many of its northern lands including the valley of Eregon where the Erecund tablet were made. The unity among the Tragoni people from the former Indaric Empire started to weaken over time until the united Erecund treaty of 6274 RH broke in 6561 RH that led to take back the Bakearen islands and the Urtzain island. The hostility was caused by disagreements about who owned what trade routes. In 6672 RH, a war broke out between the two kingdoms resulting in an Atregonan victory. The Kingdom of Atregona put a puppet king in charge of the Kingdom of Ekhixal and in 6732 RH, the Kingdom of Ekhixal was intergrated into the Kingdom of Atregona. With the integration of Kingdom of Ekhixal, the nation became known as Atregona (the same name as it is known today).

Pre-History and Ancient History

The Eccasian Archipelago was inhabited by early hominids between 1.5 million years ago and as recently as 35,000 years ago. Modern humans are believed to have reached the region over 40,000 years ago, demonstrating advanced maritime skills. The Tragonic languages, which are unrelated to Kachal-Anarian languages, suggest that the Tragoni people or culture occupied central Anaria before the spread of Kachal-Anarian languages.

In 3309 RH the religion of Erecund was created in the Atregona peninsula with the erection of the holy tablet of Erecund. This tablet was forced by a thunder striking a limestone tablet, engraving it with eight lines with rules. This religion spread south via Ekhijal sea to the Ekhixal islands.

Modern Atregona traces its lineage back to the Indaric Empire, an ancient Tragonic-speaking thalassocratic empire. This empire controlled the Argirun Sea and influenced the eastern, central, and southern Anarian seaboards through a network of client kingdoms and trading posts from the 50th to the 57th centuries RH. The capital, Atereguriko, was a significant center for commerce in the mid-sixth century.

The Indaric Empire eventually collapsed following invasions by Meyistri tribes from the south and Cheltai and Karsk tribes from the north during the migration period. The Tragoni were expelled from several regions, leading to their retreat to mainland Atregona, the Eccasian Archipelago, and the Vaixelles. This period is known as the Tragoni Diaspora.

Unified Atregona

By 7300 RH, trade in the Argirun Sea and along the Eccasians' north-south routes became dominated by the Getardinic Aigentarate, which was centered on the city of Getardine and the Eccasian League. The league was led by the powerful Okoen and Zaharai Aigentarates. Aigentar Eneko II waged a war against the Eccasian League from 7394 RH, ultimately uniting much of the Eccasians and mainland Atregona into a single Aigentarate named Atregona.

Modern Atregona

From the mid-74th century, Atregona consolidated its territorial holdings through its control over maritime routes and trade access to the Argirun Sea. However, conflicts with the Meyistri kingdoms and various Vaixellan states resulted in significant territorial losses by 7483 RH. The Atregonese Aigentarate struggled to maintain pace with technological advances in northern Anarian rivals, leading to a decline.

Reforms in 7511 RH attempted to reverse the decline, including the dissolution of protected merchant and guild classes, military modernization, banking reforms, judicial secularization, and the abolition of feudalism. These reforms faced strong opposition and led to harsh oppression by the Aigentarate.

During the Pan-Anarian War, Atregona initially regained some territories but suffered a major defeat in the attempted invasion of Vaixelles and Simal Uzaq in 7541 RH. This invasion was a catalyst for forming the Vaixellan League, a precursor to modern xxxx. Post-war Atregona faced domestic unrest, sectarian conflict, and rising nationalism.
