Traditional Quetzeni histories suggest that Quetzenkel has existed for a hundred thousand generations, but modern scholarship suggests that permanent human settlement in the Kingdom began in the late 6000s BC, and that the ancestors of the modern Quetzeni migrated to the land in the 900s BC.

Changing climatological conditions and the rise of rudimentary agricultural technology lead to the need for some groups to migrate south from [[Venua'tino]], much of which sits above the arctic circle. The means by which the proto-Quetzeni migrated to the country is heavily debated by scholars and archaeologists; the "over-seas" theory of migration was popular until the 1950s when a "long-land" migration path was supported by then-new archaeological evidence. Since the 1990s, however, a growing consensus has suggested that there were two groups, one which came by land and the other sea, and that these two groups intermingled to form a united proto-Quetzeni people and identity. | ||
Like its neighboring countries, Quetzenkel did not quickly consolidate into a centralized society; rather, it remained in a state of dozens of fractured tribes and over-tribes, often with shifting loyalties and ever-changing territories due to constant migration in addition to a few major maritime city-states who dominated Venua'tino during the medieval and renaissance periods. This early state continued through the permanent discovery of Quetzenkel by the Occidental world in the 16th century. The trade with the Occident lead to increased violence between the tribes as new technology, as well as the horse, entered use. During the warring tribes period, Occidental nations began to write of the first "Kings of Quetzenkel", though these individuals were more akin to paramount chiefs, who were often temporary under the ever-changing dynamic of the warring tribe period. | Like its neighboring countries, Quetzenkel did not quickly consolidate into a centralized society; rather, it remained in a state of dozens of fractured tribes and over-tribes, often with shifting loyalties and ever-changing territories due to constant migration in addition to a few major maritime city-states who dominated Venua'tino during the medieval and renaissance periods.
