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. | 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 experienced a major population boom at the end of the 7th century and began rapid and aggressive expansion, particularly against the [[Latin League]] and [[Hištanšahr]], the latter with limited success. Following decades of skirmishing and raids, [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|King Conchobar]] lead the armies of Gallawa west into [[The Valley (Urcea)|the former heartlands of Great Levantia]]. Although initial successes by the Latin League under the leadership of [[Saint Julius I|Gaius Julius Cicurinus]] slowed Gallawa's advance, his replacement by the Latin League resulted in its complete destruction as Gallawa overcame most of the Latinic cities in the Valley. Following his peaceful seizure of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], Conchobar reformed Gallawa into the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]], which would be ruled by the Conine dynasty for the next century and a half. | Gallawa experienced a major population boom at the end of the 7th century and began rapid and aggressive expansion, particularly against the [[Latin League]] and [[Hištanšahr]], the latter with limited success.

==== The Bergenddium ==== | |||
150AD-598AD | |||
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 [[164]], Julian Marcilius Corvus Bergendus commissioned a map of the Bergenddium which included all of the [[Ile of Burgundie]], most of the coast of modern [[Marialanus]] and some settlements along the coasts of [[Dericania]] and [[Fiannria]]. | |||
===== The Latinics in Ipar ===== | |||
100BC-150AD | |||
Disparate emporium and Latinic ports along the coast of [[Dericania]] began to centralize around their shared culture. This is seen as the divergence of the [[Bergendii]] from the general pool of [[Adonerum|Adonerii Latinics]]. They formed a few small private armies and navies to further the goals of the [[Bergendii]] merchants in the area. They refused to see a single monolithic central government, but often came to each other's aid and involved themselves in each other's politics, especially around trade agreements. | |||
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. | |||
