Due to limited literacy in the region, much of the early history of Aciria was lost to time, mostly written based on oral tradition and comparing it to archeological dig sites. | Due to limited literacy in the region, much of the early history of Aciria was lost to time, mostly written based on oral tradition and comparing it to archeological dig sites. | ||
=== | ===The Triumvirate=== | ||
300 BC to 220 BC is known as Age of the Three Sisters in Aciria. Oral traditions and limited writing from the region | 300 BC to 220 BC is known as Age of the Three Sisters in Aciria. Oral traditions and limited writing from the region tell of an ill local ruler desperate for a son to take the throne after his passing. Ultimately only receiving three daughters before his passing, the three sisters Salfa, Aili and Vilia do not part the realm in three but decide to rule as triumvirate. Originally just political leaders, due to their unparalleled charisma, the locals began to see them as envoys of the Gods, destined to usher an era of peace and prosperity to the region. The sisters hesitantly accepted the title, furthering their power in the petty kingdom. Parallel petty kingdoms pledged loyalty to the Three Sisters further expanding their realm, and in honour of these additions, the modern capital of [[Trossera]] (originally Tre Sorelle, lit. Three Sisters) was founded on the gulf of Cartaím. The Triumvirate of Three Sisters is often seen as the founding myth of the Aciriani nation, causing the sisters to be highly respected even in the post-Catholic conversion of Aciria. | ||
=== | ===The Schism=== | ||
The Age of the Three Sisters came to an end in 230 BC once the last of the Three Sisters died at the age of 87, with her appointed King Edes taking over the throne and ruling with relative peace in the realm for the coming decade, with people trusting the judgment of Three Sisters in naming an equally just leader as their follower. In 220 BC, a noble named Iodes serving as a lord under Edes brought the King's irresponsible spending of the treasury to his attention. Disregarding him, Iodes in a rage then went forward to inform the people at the market square of the profligate spending of the King, with many eventually coming to see Iodes as the true successor of the Kingdom and the Three Sisters, a true envoy of the gods. The first schism between the followers of Iodes and followers of Edes divided the Kingdom in two, eventually further splintering as smaller cults sprouted up, eventually fracturing the area into a collection of small, warring tribal kingdoms. With the drastic drop of written records after this period of history, historians suspect either a drop, or even a total loss of literacy in the region following the Schisms. | |||
=== | ===The Ristabilimento=== | ||
The period of political instability started by the First Schism in 220 BC eventually lead to the collapse of the local governments, returning the area to glorified tribal societies warring and raiding against each other. This era is particularly known for its lack of written records, causing historians to suspect a further drop, or perhaps a total loss of literacy in the area. The multitude of archeological digsites in the country have proven that multiple genocides took part in areas of the country, proven by multiple, small mass graves discovered in the heartlands. | The period of political instability started by the First Schism in 220 BC eventually lead to the collapse of the local governments, returning the area to glorified tribal societies warring and raiding against each other.

The period of instability following the Schism in 220 BC and the era of tribal kingdoms with limited literacy eventually came to an end in the first century after tribal Marinai kingdoms pledged loyalty to King Surri, creating the Kingdom of Pantevenna in the Griffe peninsula. The local tribes in Aciria proper then reluctantly also formed the Kingdom of Aciria to strengthen themselves against the united [[Aciriani People|Marinai]] kingdom. Coastal regions of modern day Aciria eventually also formed citystates which pledged loyalty to either Aciria or Pantevenna in the time of war. Despite the title "Kingdom", both Aciria and Pantevenna could be better described as federations, with tribal rulers still having great power over their former realm and tolerating the King only to ensure safety and stability in the region. The citystates of the north and northeast managed to more or less keep their independence despite their pledges of loyalty, whilst the more immediate neighbours of Aciria and Pantevenna were absorbed into the kingdoms. | |||
It was in the second century when missionaries from [[Caphiria]] began to arrive into the citystates and kingdoms of the region. Originally highly unpopular, the king of Aciria eventually converted to Catholicism to ensure better relations and an alliance with the Imperium to the north. Catholic and Latin influence soared in Aciria from this point onwards with traders, missionaries and others visiting the region en masse, creating the unique Glaisto-Latinic culture and language. The citystates with loyalty to Aciria also converted while Pantevenna and their allies followed the Three Sisters cult. The religious, political and cultural differences caused a near constant state of warfare between the Kingdoms, waging proxy-wars through their citystate allies and establishing petty kingdoms in the North and Northeast as their allies gained land. | |||
The Caphirian influence in the region rose over the centuries, up until 1430 when the economic, military and political influence of the Imperium became too much for the smaller kingdoms to bear, and Aciria was officially integrated into the third Imperium. | |||
