===Ancient history===
Vespera's history dates back to at least 850 BC when it was inhabited by the indigenous Mustrida people. While originally thought to be their own ethnicity, the Mustrida were actually a tribe of the larger [[Glaistic civilization]]; Glaistic being a term to refer to the indigenous people prior to the arrival of the [[Latinic people|Latinic]], [[Polynesian people|Polynesian]], and [[Taineans|Tainean people]]. These early societies were primarily engaged in agriculture, fishing, and trade with neighboring regions. The tribes formed loose alliances and confederations, creating a patchwork of territories that frequently shifted in response to conflicts and migrations. While the Istroyan historian Mydoros had no personal contact with the Mustrida people, he noted that the other Mustrida tribes were hesitant to talk about them, offering him little other than fears of curses. These early inhabitants developed a rich culture centered around seafaring, agriculture, and intricate social structures. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Mustrida built extensive networks of trade and communication with neighboring regions, including the Isurian and Polynesian cultures. The influence of these interactions is still visible in Vespera's unique cultural blend.

By the 3rd century BC, the Mustrida had established themselves as a dominant cultural and economic force in Capelranco. Based in their capital of Vetioch, their influence extended beyond Vespera's shores, with Mustrida merchants and artisans becoming respected figures in regional trade networks. The prosperity of Mustrida society during this period is reflected in the rich archaeological record, which includes well-preserved artifacts such as intricately designed pottery, tools, and jewelry.

===Burgoignesc colonial influence===
=== Classical history ===
As the Burgoignesc Colonial Empire expanded its maritime trading network across the globe in the 18th and early 19th centuries, Vespera became increasingly influenced by Burgoignesc culture and politics. The region's strategic location along the coast made it a valuable asset for the empire, and the Burgoignesc sought to establish their control over the area through diplomatic and military means.


The Burgoignesc brought new technologies, goods, and ideas to Vespera, spurring a period of rapid change and modernization. The region's economy and infrastructure were transformed, with new industries emerging and existing ones adapting to the global market. However, the Burgoignesc control of Vespera also led to tensions with the indigenous population and other regional powers, notably the Imperium of Caphiria.
=== Arrival of Occidental explorers ===
=== Odurian War ===
In response to the Burgoignesc occupation of Capelranco, Caphiria launched a surprise invasion of Outsec in 1858, initiating the Odurian War. The conflict was marked by fierce battles, shifting alliances, and significant casualties on both sides. Eventually, diplomatic efforts led to a negotiated settlement between the major powers involved.


The treaty signed on 1 December 1859 partitioned the kingdom of Outsec. The western lands of Arona gained independence, while the eastern lands were annexed by Caphiria to form the province of Vespera. The remaining territories of the Kingdom of Outsec became Equatorial Ostiecia, a constituent country of Burgundie. The partition of Outsec marked a major turning point in Vespera's history, as it formally became part of the Imperium of Caphiria.
