== History of Acelasia (circa 3400 BC - AC 7) ==
=== Early History and the Duldog Kingdom (circa 3400 BC - 800 BC) ===
Acelasia, located in Eastern Ernia, traces its origins to the formation of the Duldog Kingdom around 3400 BC. Founded by Toicao, a charismatic leader and proponent of Nawpaqism, the Duldog Kingdom united various tribes and city-states through military prowess and religious fervor. Initially centered on centralized governance and territorial expansion, the kingdom flourished culturally and economically.
=== Expansion and Cultural Integration (circa 3400 BC - 3200 BC) ===
During its early years, the Duldog Kingdom embarked on a period of rapid expansion. Toicao forged alliances with neighboring tribes and smaller city-states, solidifying the kingdom's influence across the region. The Thầy Tus, religious leaders of Nawpaqism, played a crucial role in integrating newly conquered territories into the cultural and religious fabric of the kingdom.
=== Religious and Political Consolidation (circa 3200 BC - 3000 BC) ===
By the third millennium BC, Nawpaqism had become the dominant religion within the Duldog Kingdom. Temples dedicated to Chúa and other deities served as centers of spiritual and cultural life, promoting ethical conduct and religious observance. The kingdom's administrative reforms standardized laws, taxation, and infrastructure, consolidating its power internally.
=== Zurhae and Machong Kingdoms (circa 800 BC - AC 7) ===
Around 800 BC, internal conflicts led to the collapse of the Duldog Kingdom. From its remnants emerged two successor states: the Zurhae Kingdom and the Machong Kingdom. Both kingdoms maintained supremacy in their histories, focusing on internal development and religious practices rooted in Nawpaqism.
==== Zurhae Kingdom (circa 800 BC - AC 7) ====
The Zurhae Kingdom, isolated geographically and culturally, enforced strict control over its borders. Central to its governance were fortified city-states and agricultural advancements supporting urbanization. Temples continued to serve as cultural and religious centers, preserving traditional beliefs and rituals of Nawpaqism.
==== Machong Kingdom (circa 800 BC - 431 BC) ====
In contrast, the Machong Kingdom, due to rugged terrain and dense forests, developed a separate cultural identity while practicing Nawpaqism. 
=== Emergence of Confederacies (800 BC - AC 7) ===
Following the collapse of the Zurhae Kingdom, Acelasia entered a period of political fragmentation. By 800 BC, the region witnessed the formation of two confederations of statelets: the Hukyang Confederacy and the Loke Confederacy. These decentralized political entities fostered economic prosperity through trACe routes and cultural exchange, while Nawpaqism remained a unifying cultural influence.
=== Legacy and Transition (AC 7 onwards) ===
The end of the Hukyang Confederacy around AC 7 marked a transition point in Acelasia's history, leading to subsequent shifts in political dynamics and cultural evolution. Further exploration into this transitional period reveals interactions between confederacies, external influences, and the rise of new political entities in the region.
=== Kingdom of An Sên La ===
The Kingdom of An Sên La was founded around 3 BC, following the collapse of the Hukyang Confederacy, which it annexed in AC 7.
