Archaeological digs around Yonderre indicate that much of Yonderre has been inhabited by humans since at least the paleolithic period, based in part on dating of shards of pottery. Burial mounds, some in excess of 5,000 years old, dot the Yonderian landscape. Different styles exist and are generally divided into three groups: [[East Goths|Gothic]], [[Ænglish people|Ænglish]] and [[Khovihnihk people|Khovihnihk]]. Studies of the genetic makeup of [[Stonne]]'s prehistoric inhabitants show a high frequency of the y-chromosome haplogroup G2g, a common genetic trait amongst the Gothic peoples, indicating that Goths or perhaps proto-Goths already inhabited Yonderre agriculture was developed in Gothica. | |||

The middle ages began in Gothica with the [[Great Gothic Migration]] ocurring around the fall of the [[Great Levantia|Levantine Potentate]] in the late 6th century AD. The lands making up modern Yonderre had beforehand been home to [[East Goths|Goths]] but also [[Ænglish people]] and [[Khovihnihk people|Khovihnihk tribes]]. The [[Khovihnihk people|Khovihnihk tribes]] were driven out of [[East Gothica]] in a matter of decades while a rump of the Ænglish remained in the far east. [[Will of Wandsberg]] attempted to form a united Gothic nation in the late sixth century, securing much of eastern East Gothica but ulitmately failing. Several attempts to form a centralized Gothic nation followed and all ultimately failed, leading to endless infighting and wars between Gothic nobility. Gothic lords went by ''Höwding'', "Chieftain" (Literally "Headling"), until a general trend towards titles of nobility mimicking those of the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] occured around the late ninth century. | The middle ages began in Gothica with the [[Great Gothic Migration]] ocurring around the fall of the [[Great Levantia|Levantine Potentate]] in the late 6th century AD.
