The conquest of [[Veltorina]] at the end of the [[First Great War]] brought to an end the independence of the nation-state of the [[Veltorine people]], a people native to northeastern [[Sarpedon]]. Their conquest by [[Caphiria]] led to a century of various efforts by the Veltorine people to reestablish their independence, both in their home territory and, later, abroad. The [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] supported efforts to reestablish Veltorine independence, while later movements such as the [[Veltorine_people#Life_Abroad_Movement|Life Abroad Movement]] and 21st century resettlements supported by [[Urcea]] sought to establish a new Veltorine state abroad. | |||

The territory of what is today New Veltorina was, prior to the 1960s, a territory of [[Varshan]] known as the Brudxaan Province. The territory, [[Varshan#Conquest_of_the_North|conquered by Varshan]] in [[1525]], was a critical point which allowed Varshan to project its influence across the [[Nysdra Sea]] into [[Venua'tino]]. The inhabitants of the Brudxaan were ethnically related to the neighboring [[Quetzenkel|Quetzen people]]. In the 20th century, the [[Varshan#Dynastic_collapse|collapse of Varshan's Yun-harle dynasty]] critically weakened the state. Several foreign powers, especially [[Daxia]], encouraged [[Quetzenkel]] to annex the Brudxaan Province in order to establish a so-called [[Quetzenkel#Varshan_gradient|"Varshan gradient"]] that would buffer [[Cusinaut]] from Varshan. The annexation occurred in [[1962]]. The Quetzen acquisition of the territory would begin a six decade process of relative instability and ethnic movement that would eventually result in the establishment of the modern state of New Veltorina. | The territory of what is today New Veltorina was, prior to the 1960s, a territory of [[Varshan]] known as the Brudxaan Province.
