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 [[Ancient 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 [[Ancient 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. | This was typically furthered by the concepts of crusading or colonization that often accompanied the [[Bergendii]] diaspora. A prime example of this sense of a {{wpl|mission to civilize}} following the marauding [[Bergendii]] is [[Yonderre]]. | ||
Furthermore, since the [[Bergendii]] were often the minority culture at home or the absolute minority abroad they were fierce believers that they were always the "last of their kind" and must defend their beliefs from the sieging barbarianism of those around them. This was encouraged by clerics following the conversion of [[Levantia|southern Levantia]] to [[Levantine Catholic Church|christianity]]. Ferocious proslytizers the [[Bergendii]] soon conflated their cultural norms and the dogma of the [[Levantine Catholic Church]]. This is most evident in [[Yonderre]]. | Furthermore, since the [[Bergendii]] were often the minority culture at home or the absolute minority abroad they were fierce believers that they were always the "last of their kind" and must defend their beliefs from the sieging barbarianism of those around them.
