===== The Bergenddium =====

In [[158]], Julian Marcilius Corvus, now styled Bergendus, was crowned the first high-king of the '''Bergenddium'''. While often seen as the first formal state that would become [[Burgundie]], the Bergenddium was a cultural empire rather than a legal kingdom. As such, the title of high king was more of an honor given to men of distinction than a royal appointment with set roles and responsibilities. The only task undertaken by all of the high kings, and often the reason that later high kings where chosen, was to negotiate peace deals with larger Kiro-Levantine powers.

In the 130s an enterprising merchant, Julian Marcilius Corvus, formed an army in the naissant port of Nordarmus and marched inland to push the Impaxi tribes from the interior and ultimately on to Levantia. Over the next 20 years, his army was able to crush any opposition and then to push the Impaxi to the coast near Biscainhos. In 153 a joint Impaxi/Levzeish force crushed Corvus' forces. He escaped with only 75 men and his train. In 155 Corvus returned with a large navy and besieged Biscainhos, catching its navy in the harbor. After a three year siege and numerous heavy bombardments, the first sea-to-land naval bombardments in southern Levantine history, Corvus' forces forced the Impaxi/Levzeish population to surrender. As part of the surrender agreement the Impaxi and Levzeish were banished from Ipar and resettled on the coast of southern Levantia.

====Northern Dericania====

Gallawa was a large confederation of Christianized [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] tribes and kingdoms that existed in the north of modern [[Dericania]] and south of modern [[Fiannria]] from the late 4th to 8th centuries AD. Gallawa was originally conceived as a loose alliance of Gaelic polities which had both broken into and settled [[Great Levantia]] from the north, those who had lived as foederati subjects in specific lands of Dericania, and a smaller number of mostly uncontacted tribes living in the hills and deep forested parts of northeaster Dericania. The alliance seems to have been intended as a means to consolidate Gaelic holdings in previously Great Levantine lands, but the alliance persisted beyond the latter's collapse. Gallawa supplanted Great Levantia as the major power in Dericania by around 450 AD, and its mandate switched from defensive to offensive, expanding its borders and incorporating other tribes under its sway by force of arms. Increasingly, the confederate nature of the alliance became centralized under the control of a family that would become known as the [[Conine dynasty]], who were responsible for leading Gallawa through the collapse of the Levantines.

===Renaissance Dericania===

During the [[Great Confessional War]], the lands of Dericania were ravaged by war. Significant outbreaks of disease and widespread famine were a result of the conflict, greatly weakening Dericania and making most of the Kingdom significantly poorer. Many nobles and lords lost their fiefs and significant amount of territory changed hands during the [[Dragonnades]] as Protestant families were displaced by those loyal to the victorious [[Holy League]].
