History of Fiannria: Difference between revisions

{{Wip}}

Most of Fiannan history is referred to the region and peoples that make up Fiannria today. In the past, the region now known as Fiannria was called by many names, most prevalent being Gaullia and Culfra or the Culfras. The history of Fiannria as a unified state goes back to 1571 with the founding of the United Kingdom of the Culfras. However, history of Culfras and by extension Fiannria as a identifiable political entity goes back even further.

=== Early History ===

Evidence of the first humans in the region that would make up modern Fiannria go back to around 13000 BC in the Late Paleolithic period. The ending of the last great Ice age and into the Mesolithic saw various proto-Celts small hunter-gatherer-fisher bands travel through the Fiannan lowlands and into the highlands. Semi-permanent fishing settlements, early pottery, and large burial sites are shown to have been established during this time

The Latins of the Adonerii Empire called Great Levantia often referred to the land of modern Fiannria as ‘Gaul’, while the earliest Adoneric conquests of Gaul occurred around 200 BC. The Levantine Empire would not conquer Gaul to the Western Mountain ranges and the Vandarch until around 50 BC. Before these conquests, Clan Confederations had spread across much of Fiannriga and was starting to reach Adonerii lands leading to many conflicts. The Adonerii, by allying and promising much wealth to certain clans, subjugated much of modern Fiannria and would remain at least partially in power until 487 AD when the last Adonerii rump state was conquered. During the Adoneric Iron Age, evidence shows a great increase in traded goods from across Levantia and an advancement in infrastructure, Adoneric roads, settlements, and aqueducts set the building blocks for later civilization. Major construction of a series of fortifications and walls along western Fiannria defined Ultmar, the region beyond. Despite major inroads into modern Fiannriga, true Adonericization of the Celtic cultures there was limited to mostly the closer regions to Adoneric states. However, in the late Empire, one major Adonericization tool which would gradually spread across Fiannria was Christianity. However, the conflict between the pagan homeland religion versus Christianity from Adoneria would prove to be complex with the collapse of the old Empire and the arrival of Gothic peoples from across the Vandarch

===The Migration Period and the Holy Levantine Empire===

During the Migration period, starting around 375 AD, Great Levantia faced many Gothic-Germanic and Slavic invaders from the west. During the decline of the Adonerii, Feinic Christianity flourished, adapting the mythology and traditions of the Celtic peoples of Fiannria. However, as part of the migration, clan confederations of Goths arrived on the southwestern coast of modern Fiannria, along the Vandarch, and at first, began trade along the Alva River, one of the major rivers of northern Levantia. But eventually began invading from this river and onto the northern coast of Fiannria as well. This, along with the collapse of the Adoneric Empire, led to an upheaval of Celts, Gothic, and Latin petty kingdoms ultimately replacing Great Levantian presence in Gaullia (Fiannria) entirely. The decayed institutions of Great Levantia were to varying levels success attempted to become preserved. The most successful places where Adoneric knowledge was preserved were in Feinic Christian Art and monasticism which gained great popularity during this time period. It was during this period that the Gaul region became the frontlines of conversion and pagan warlords between pagan Celts, Christian Latins and Celts, and the largely still pagan Goths or Geats.

In the early 1930's agitation because the general economic depression felt across Levantia and the world was turning into political extremes and agitation in the Deric states where nationalists and republicans began to mobilize. In both an effort to support democratization, nationalism, and republicanism, and also a realpolitik maneuver to weaken what the Fiannan government felt were the domineering powers of southern Levantia, began to tacitly and eventually secretly support with materials and volunteers. This all came to a head with the outbreak of war in the Derics in 1934. Throughout this period, while reports were given of potential Caphiric interference leading to the Derian uprising, the Fiannan government dismissed it as an impossibility. As Urcea and Burgundie allied to put down the uprising, Fiannria promised to maintain its border integrity from the nationalists, but still provided support to the uprising. Alarms began to ring for the upper military staff both in Alshar when Kloistani and Daxian declared war on Burgundie and irregular military movements across the Fanerian border were warning signs of something more was occuring than an uprising. However, the government remained dismissive until in October 1934, when Faneria declared war in a surprise invasion of Fiannria. Supplies to the Derian nationalists ceased and diplomatic overtures were made to the Urceans and Burgundians as evidence became clear of the Caphrian influence in the outbreak of conflict in the Derics, Alshar, and the attack from Faneria.
