Etymology
The nation of Teŕazta sits in a highly mountainous region of Sarpedon known as “Xelphia”. in the early history of the region slaves, prisoners and the poor of the First imperium were sent to this area, referred to by it's inhabitants as “Terra Resta" which translates as “The land that remains” or “The leftover land.” It's Poor, rocky soil yielded little wheat and made farming difficult. Over time this insult for the land grew to become it's name and over millenia “Terra Resta” would replace “xelphia”. And would eventually become “Teŕazta” is the country's language.
History
First Era
The region of Xelphia began to see the arrival of Adoneri Peoples beginning in the 18th century, BC. The best recorded of these peoples was the Polentii civilization, a People who built their villages high above the ground within mountains and oceanside cliffs.
Excavation have shown that the Polentii built small replica huts out of the ashes of their dead which they would mix with clay and inscribe the name of the dead. With these they would contruct small villages on altars in their homes, engaging in a sort of ancestor worship.
The Polentii civilization would be asimiliated into The First Imperium in the 3rd century BC after a long decline.
