The Zychy did not keep written records, and as such much of their culture and civilization exists either in Solanian records or in cultural artifacts absorbed by the Loa. The Solanian citystates recorded five prominent Zychy settlements; Zychy itself along with ''Tichelnisorous'' (Tzelnizoros), ''Ileben'', ''Ostrac'' (Oztracht) and ''Hibiscia'' (Hybysczc). The cities were all based around sacred wells, with Zychy possessing the most sacred well of all, said to be the dwelling place of the cthonic Zychy gods. Today, it is worshipped as the [[Wellspring of Song]] by the Loa. It was noted that the Zychy did not possess bronze or ironworking until their contact with the Solanians. | The Zychy did not keep written records, and as such much of their culture and civilization exists either in Solanian records or in cultural artifacts absorbed by the Loa.

The Solanians recorded that the early Loa claimed to have traveled across the sea only a generations ago, and throughout the history of Solan, the records indicate that increasing numbers of Loa migrated over from the souther sea, claiming to be fleeing a series of catastrophic floods. They also recorded that the Loa worshipped a "Mother Ghost" who descended from heaven to possess the queens of the Loa, in what might be an early version of the Incarnate, and sacrificed pigs, humans and "small slaves" (thought to be the [[Sikabenuala]]) to their goddess. | ||
The Solanian, Zychy and Early Loa city states grew through mutual trade and warfare, with the north and central regions being disputed territory between the civilizations.

By 658 BCE, the Solanian had organized into a federation of republican citystates, and began to extend latinic control over the subcontinent, while the Zychy continously rebuked and contested their advances while the Loa experienced a period of peace and prosperity as the migrations ceased and a writing systen was developed, inspired by the alphabet of the Solanians. Eventually, the Solanians and Loa united subjugate the Zychy, with the last independent Zychy city being subjugated by 389 BCE. A few centuries if oece reigned as the Loa city states were consolidated and the Solanians prospered from trade between Vallos and Sarpedon. However, by 167 BCE, the Solanians experienced significant internal strife between the various city states, and the Loa came under strain from a new wave of migration. By 140 BCE, the Loa warlord Banakuka united much of Polynesian Vallos and led numerous wars against the Solanians, with the federation finally collapsing in 87 BCE. This year marks the end of Classical History in Vallos as the Latinic and Sarpic people begin to be assimilated into the new Polynesian dominance. | ||
