===== Yin Dynasty | Yang Dynasty  =====
* Government: During the siege of the last city held by the Yin Dynasty, the remnants of the government was reduced to a mere horde of people. The Empress of Yin decided, after a long decision, to grab her million followers and begin a trek westward across the plains to unknown lands. She hopes that the journey would not be riddled with raiders and death, but she have her army of horsemen and charioteers..
* Economy: Wooden tablets are still in use. But scrolls are making their way about for recording and keeping track of wooden tablets much more closely due to inflation.
* Population: 60 million (Due to high infant mortality in ancient times, birth rates became high as it is a gamble for babies to live past the age of 5. An average family of the Feng dynasty holds two or three surviving children per household who lived to see adulthood. Not to mention immigration of several dozen families into urban cities. The Chinese dynasty oversaw recent acquisitions coupled with a growing population caused a boost in pop. but fertility rates are slowing down)

** Yin-Yang War:  (Read Event)
* Events:
* Migration of Yin, Rise of Yang: In many years building up to this moment. Tensions between the Yin Dynasty to the North and the Yang Dynasty to the South had been null until recent years. Discovery of Iron and other materials in the North had prompted the South to look for their own, luckily they had quite a few, but they were wasn't as lucky as the Yin. Yang was on a stagnation due to it's lower and more diverse poorer population that prompted conflict. The Yang Emperor finally had enough, he planned with his generals to lead an all out assault on the Yin's greater cities and push out the Yin. On 563 BC, the Yin led an assault on Yin's cities, killing anyone who had resisted and not surrendered. The war lasted for 9 years, the Empress of the Yin was desperate... until hope had came for her at least. It wasn't until an attack on her border guards North of Yin by a stray Bonra raider tribe, following a capture and interrogation of one of the raiders had she heard of distant lands. Empty lands full of diverse peoples ripe for migration and settlement. On the eve of 553, the Yin Dynasty, despite it's efforts of it's stronger army, wasn't as numerous as the Yang, who had also used slaves to exhaust the professional and well-equipped troops before finishing them off. Cities fell and fell before Beiking became the last major city after the fall of Hsiking. During the siege of the last city held by the Yin Dynasty, the remnants of the government was reduced to a mere horde of people. The Empress of Yin decided, after a long decision, to grab her million followers and begin a trek westward across the plains to unknown lands. She hopes that the journey would not be riddled with raiders and death, but she have her army of horsemen and charioteers. She left behind a few volunteers to the city to surrender to the Beiking, but grabbed most of the city's population (and further followers during her trek out the border and outside of it) and dragged them west on Horses, donkies, and mules. Caravans of people follow in a long line through the Bonra tribal territory. Trying to fight off any raiders that came in their way.

**The start of city specialization. With the growth of Vedena as an empire, there are lots of different cities. It is becoming more efficient to be specialized in some sphere. For instance, Lutsk is the main political and scientific powerhouse, Pripyat and Kyiv are specialized in trade and Volodymyr is becoming a cultural centre.
**Slow down of the population growth.  With the climate is becoming colder, the population is starting growing slower because of food. The city population is still growing from rural areas, but it is slowing down too.
**The masterpiece of ancient urbanism.  Some people may think that the population of cities is too big. But to be fair, the cities in Vedena are not that urban and densely populated. Frankly speaking, the city has a city centre and little neighbourhoods around it. Usually, every family has a little house and a proper farm to grow their own food.

====Daevites====
*Government: Nomadic confederation. No capital so far, just a group of organised theocratic elites leading the nation.

**400 horse archers
**300 melee soldiers
*Demographics
**Population: 30,000
**Ethnicity: 100% Daevite
**Religion: 40% 'Blood Gods', 60% Other
*Economy: It's a nomadic nation.
*Events
**The (Not So) Unusually Long History: For about a millennia or two, the Daevites were a subculture of the Bonra and any ancestors living in South Central Siberia, tracing far back as 2400 BC in an unusual continuity. They also unusually preserve themselves in history through oral tradition due to their illiterate nature, thus they were able to maintain their own small culture for many generations while being under one respective culture. However their culture had started to become more distinct in the early 1st millennium BC, with females taking up more roles in leadership and many aspects of life. That led to the breakdown of their Bonra identity before finally on 549 BC, the Daevas, a growing group of theocrats have broke away from the Bonra nomads to form their own nomadic confederation. 
**Rise of the Daevites: They rose up as a proper nation after the so-called downfall thousands of years ago. The Daevas, effectively became the theocratic elite group of priestesses that are mainly female but haven't decided upon a leader that they would be able to follow. If they ever elected and settled upon one of themselves as leader, the Daevas will effectively become the equivalent of a council of priestesses. The Blood Gods were a minority religion for now and is currently a recent creation since the 8th century BC, with other faiths being still popular, patricularly traditional ones that involve worshipping the sky and their ancestors. That religion involves what many alleged to be called as cannibalism to their dead enemies, enforce slavery for all other cultures (men are sent off as slaves to Daevite women or become part of it's meat fodder/footsoldier personnel while women are forced to work or have Daevite men trying to breed more of themselves but any potential females are directed to the Daevas) apart from themselves as they see themselves as a superior group and would also sacrifice their enemy to them as well. However these activities that many rumours suggest haven't happened just yet and they seem to be interested in trying to assimilate a lot of Bonra people in the east to become part of the Daevite culture.

**Consolidation of territory: As the territory of the country becomes more outstretched, expansion is made on both sides of the border. In the west, the border of the Kingdom is pushed to eventually border Westria and the Celatin tribes, but not entering their territory (especially Westria). Plans for expansion towards the west are diminishing, with more attention paid towards the sea and the eastern parts. Some territories belonging to a large amount of the tribes on the east is taken by the Kingdom, ending land based expansion for now. With a possibility of overgrowth, more attention is placed towards the navy.
*Events
**Ilros uprising: As the Kingdom is getting bigger and bigger, a new ethnic group inside Esceosia formed in 6th century BCE, who call themselves the Ilros Esceosians, coming from the mixing of Esceosians and Illyrians. However, as pure Esceosians are dominant in the country's center, the Ilros people are prosecuted by them. In 552 BCE, the Ilros launch an uprising in the capital, but eventually fail. Normally, they would be killed for treason, but King Stephen III pardoned them, though also banishing them to the south to bear the expansion of the country. Eventually making the center of their group in the southwest, they found the city of Eron on the coast, leading many of them to become traders on the sea, making the trading ships of the Kingdom skyrocket to 900 and still growing.
**Founding of Petan and Oort: Apart from Eron established by the Ilros Esceosians, and new area to defend, two cities are founded on the western and eastern border of the Kingdom, as forts. While Oort grows quickly in population due to the trade with Westria, Petan not being considered as important as Oort lacks people, which only could change in the next century.

The Autocrat of Saxon, Kaxoi, seeks aid from the Minoans living in Anatolia. Thus they support his rebellion against the Kithite Empire. Both the Hellens and Dorians would get involved sending support to the rebels and Kithite would be defeated at the Battle of the Bloody Waves when an entire fleet with several tens of thousands of men was sunk by a Dorian, Hellen and rebel fleet. However, on land the coalition is defeated by royal prince, Dariath. The battle is only known from the poem of a surviving Dorian soldier; the soldier's name has been lost to history but his poem is known as the Kalendriad. A second offensive would seize control over the major coastal cities of western Anatolia but these strongholds would fall to Kithite sieges. The Kithite army, however, had to deal with urban fighting within the cities and by the end of the campaigns, the Kithite and coalition forces had been bled dry and thus a peace treaty was signed handing territory over to the rebels who were forced into swearing fealty by the Dorians.(edited)

For instance, Lutsk is the main political and scientific powerhouse, Pripyat and Kyiv are specialized in trade and Volodymyr is becoming a cultural centre.
**The masterpiece of ancient urbanism.  Some people may think that the population of cities is too big. But to be fair, the cities in Vedena are not that urban and densely populated.

Intelligence lives in the elite neighbourhood close to or in a city centre.

*** Ugrians: We come in peace.
** Events:
*** The Great Divide: The recent actions and decisions from Fritzel has been taken differently in terms of the people. Around half of the people support the king, mostly those who had to move due to their unwanted occupation of our land. The rest are not agreeing with the king and are protesting and want to either come to a conclusion with the Dizilyans peacefully or are okay with their migration. This has divided Vesnia into two sides. Most powerful people agree with the king to have a chance of getting richer or even getting royal positions.
*** Royal Tension: Prince Gustaaf Fleischer (Fritzel's oldest son) decided to support the opposition and wanted to join them but was forbidden by his father, who attempted to convince him to not join. This failed as in 453 BCE, he escaped home. He and a prominent protester named Haraldh Steiner then declared themselves the spokespeople and leaders of the protesters (or opposition).

*** Vedena: (see event below)
** Events:
*** The Great Divide: More protests, some villages declare themselves "seceded" from Vesnia. While this is happening, the prominent people in the cities desire more and more power. However tensions are going down as Fritzel now considers buying back our land instead of taking it by force.
*** Closer Relationship Effort with Vedena: Knowing of their existence due to exploration, some diplomats are sent to Vedena under the order of Fritzel to seek closer relationship as Vesnia could use some more allies and trade partners (that are actual states).

* Economy: (Yang) Wooden tablets are still in use. But scrolls are making their way about for recording and keeping track of wooden tablets much more closely due to inflation. (Yin) Wooden tablets becomes less used overtime as regular trade becomes more frequent in the steppes, although the idea of currency has been hooked in the local Bonra tribes' minds.
* Population: 80 million (Due to high infant mortality in ancient times, birth rates became high as it is a gamble for babies to live past the age of 5. An average family of the Feng dynasty holds two or three surviving children per household who lived to see adulthood. Not to mention immigration of several dozen families into urban cities. The Chinese dynasty oversaw recent acquisitions coupled with a growing population caused a boost in pop. but fertility rates are slowing down)
* Major Settlements :
** Unknown.
* Military: ~310,000 (10,000 charioteers, 25,000 Horsemen, 250,000 spears/infantry, 25,000 archers)
* Diplomacy:
** Zhi Tribe: Yang attempts to annex the now obscure and tiny Zhi tribe.
* Wars and Conflicts:
** Yin-Daevite Raider Wars: From the constant raids of the Daevites, the Yin had been raided and counterraiding the tribes around them. The degradation in their warfare had caused their numbers to slowly deplete themselves over the century to around 450,000. A decision was made by the Yin Emperor to deplant themselves and move westward.
* Events:
* Fall and Migration of Yin, Last turn for Yang: As the people of Yin settled in their new lands, what had been unknownst to them is the set of problems that would henceforth be a pain very soon a few years later. The Daevite tribes (or horde) from the east had met with the Yin, then decided to raid them. The Yin valiently fended them off for generations, but overtime their numbers are starting to decline. Entire villages were only a few thousand people from once was tens of thousands a century earlier. The one million people that traveled through the steppes under the Yin banner is now reduced to 450,000 from the constant fighting of raider tribes that surrounds them. Its painful for a decision that the current Yin emperor has to make, but HIS decision is to now move westward once more. They shall make a trek across the steppes once again to northern Ukraine, in between the Vedna and the Crimean nation located there. Meanwhile in Yang, they will attempt to make one final conquest of the Zhi tribe before preparing for a fight against the Xia. After inventing new technologies, hopefully they will unite China and built a thousand year empire across its vast territories filled with millions of people.

**Changes in the political arena: Now, nobility is the most influential faction in Vedena and they keep replacing merchants. At the same time, Kyiv is too close to become the biggest city in Vedena. Both of these topics can lead to enormous changes in Vedena.
*Lost lasting "events":
**The rise of Kyiv. Kyiv is keeping growing fast and has become a very important trade centre. Lutsk and Pripyat are becoming less important and less major. Many people say, that Kyiv can replace Lutsk soon. 
**The masterpiece of ancient urbanism.  Some people may think that the population of cities is too big. But to be fair, the cities in Vedena are not that urban and densely populated. Frankly speaking, the city has a city centre and little neighbourhoods around it. Usually, every family has a little house and a proper farm to grow their own food. Intelligence lives in the elite neighbourhood close to or in a city centre.
**The start of city specialization. With the growth of Vedena as an empire, there are lots of different cities. It is becoming more efficient to be specialized in some sphere. For instance, Lutsk is the main political and scientific powerhouse, Pripyat and Kyiv are specialized in trade and Volodymyr is becoming a cultural centre.
