Dating back as far as the Latinic infiltration into the [[Levantia|Levantine southeastern coastal plain]] the resident cultures have been in a struggle for dominance. As was the Latinic culture at the time, they set about for the total displacement of the [[Impaxi]] of [[Isle of Burgundie|Ipar]]. Integration with the [[Istroyan civilization|Istroyans]] further branched the Latinics of the [[Levantia|Levantine southeastern coastal plain]] into a increasingly unique branch from their inland cousins. This offshoot of Latinic culture became known as the [[Bergendii]] and originally only applied to those from the [[Isle of Burgundie]] but as their influnce spread it became a general and unifing description of the coastal peoples who took strong influences from the [[Audonia]]n traditions from the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]] and/or the seafaring traditions of the [[Istroyan civilization]]. The various raiding and adventuring parties that departed these lands took this sense of cultural exceptionalism with them. | Dating back as far as the Latinic infiltration into the [[Levantia|Levantine southeastern coastal plain]] the resident cultures have been in a struggle for dominance.

This was typically furthered by the concepts of crusading or colonization that often accompanied the [[Bergendii]] diaspora. Prime examples of these sense of a {{wpl|mission to civilize}} following the marauding [[Bergendii]] are [[Diamavya]] and [[Yonderre]], two nations both equally formed and subjugated by the [[Bergendii]]'s desire for cultural hegemony. | This was typically furthered by the concepts of crusading or colonization that often accompanied the [[Bergendii]] diaspora.
