The earliest known settlements in what is now Volonia date back to the Bronze Age. Many of these settlements were inhabited by the indigenous [[Sarpic people|Sarpic peoples]], from which the Slavic peoples of today trace their ancestry back to. Not much is really known about the early Sarpic inhabitants of modern-day Volonia asides from accounts that were written by both [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Suratian civilization|Suratii]] scholars and record-keepers. Most of these records tell of settlements that hug the three rivers that surround the desert frontier of what is now northern Volonia; settlements that have been confirmed to have existed from that time after archaeological evidence of the early Sarpic peoples were discovered in the early 20th Century. Many of these settlements would go on to form small petty kingdoms that throughout the years have expanded, shrank, unified, and split apart as ambitious agricultural landlords sought for dominance in the region, with the most successful of them being able to establish moderately-sized domains. | |||

Volonia was home to a period of Slavic political and cultural resurgence that arose against the advancing Caphiric [[Imperium_of_Caphiria#The_First_Imperium|First Imperium]] during the 5th and 6th centuries known as the Slavic Silver Age. During this period, Volonia was home to four major Slavic kingdoms, the names of which exist to this day as four of the five tribunates of the nation. The names of these kingdoms were as follows: the [[Kingdom of Costesti]], the [[Kingdom of Titu]], the [[Kingdom of Bradu]], and the [[Kingdom of Mizil]]. It was during this age that these four kingdoms would reach their cultural peak as many works of early Slavic art and poetry were created during this time. | Volonia was home to a period of Slavic political and cultural resurgence that arose against the advancing Caphiric [[Imperium_of_Caphiria#The_First_Imperium|First Imperium]] during the 5th and 6th centuries known as the Slavic Silver Age.
