History

## Tribal Age

The Muovi first appeared 4.8 million years ago in the northern jungles of Ayvser. They began by leading a nomadic lifestyle of small family societies, initially hunters and later gatherers. They camped in the mouths of caves or under trees, but later began to build small, temporary structures for cover.

Over the years, Muovis groups evolved in their techniques and became more intelligent, building tools and developing herding strategies to make gathering easier. The more advanced communities created labor organizations and later social ranks or classes based on individual merit or age. The first religious beliefs were formed, from which also developed rituals and festivities, expressions of art, and entertainments with no reason to have a purpose (see dances, games, clothing or songs). The first signs of complex language and glyph-based writing also coincide with these dates.

As thousands of years passed, tribal communities became larger and resource management and storage became more sophisticated, prolonging the time a nomadic tribe would settle in a particular place. Finally, with the discovery of agriculture and the domestication of animals, nomadism was definitively abandoned and sedentism was introduced. The first villages were built, which later became cities; political organization, diplomacy and even the first colonies were established. It also highlights the emergence of confederalism, where city-states with different governments were allied under certain common rules for their management.

## Age of Civilization

In tribal times, Ayvverj was a large and prosperous city rich in culture and tradition. For a long forgotten time, the Çeyvor lineage ruled the city on a monarchical model, in which the eldest of the Sovereign's sons would inherit the leadership of the dynasty. Ayvverj was also the seat of the congress of the Erynevs Confederation, a powerful network of allied cities.

It happened that Çeyvor Arlan, Sovereign of the time, died victim of illness, ascending to the throne to his eldest son Çeyvor Ayv when he was 20 years old, although he was treated at first with suspicion by the citizens due to their young age.

Nevertheless, Ayv managed to gain the respect of his people. His first action was the so-called Syrsean Reforms, which took place over 2 years and involved an overhaul of the management of resources, the organization of the government and the Confederation, which resulted in improving the quality of life of the inhabitants and their prosperity. He wrote a year later [y. 3A] a series of manuscripts known as Theory of the Metropolis, which is considered the precedent of modern colonialism. The thesis textually reads as follows:

> «*To ensure universal peace and supply, a matter of global concern, every dwelling on the face of Äriala must be governed under a single entity, the Metropolis, which manages all resources and political affairs within its border. The peoples who, thanks to their Metropolis, no longer suffer from conflict and famine should pay tribute to their Sovereign of distant lands, and thus increase the quality of life of all who have pledged allegiance to him.*»

From this new stream of thought based on expansionism, the representatives of the Erynevs Confederation agreed to unite their sovereignty under a single entity, named Ayv-Borsovo as Ayv was its leading Sovereign [y. 4A].
