## History

### Thamudic Dynasty (394-508)

With the fall of the Ordican Empire under Nafan dominance and influence, Vamanya was founded, compromising of the Ordican Territory of Vamanya, which was locally controlled by the Ordican noble house of Thamud, which had substantial control over the region before the fall of the empire. Vamanya became neutral with Nafa after its formation, having small diplomatic relations near and then, with the Nabrosi Strait attempting to combat the Nafan trade influence, with them having control over the Yuvla Canal via a puppet. Iljik I was coronated as the first king of the Vamanya. (375-423). Iljik I quickly made and formalized government operations and a stable social class with civils having to pay tribute to the King. Aswell as this, he slowly depleted the power from differing ruling families, in order to keep the Thamudic House in power.

In the year 398, Iljik I had his first son, and following this, in 400, Iljik had decided that, therefore, in order to dominate Vamanyan influence in the region, he would command the army to expand southwest. The conquest was successful, and in the months following. the Vamanyans secured their grip on the Vordor Peninsula, dominating tribal armies who refused to submit with advanced Vanoman tech which had arrived quickly via Ordican trade roads.

Years of peace followed as the Vamanyans were celebrating their victories and holidays, In 416, Nafa remade the borders of the Glazian Domain, under their control where they incorporated 2 of their puppets, (Greater Walara, Beding) and reformed Yuvla Canal into Mea Yuvia in order to further secure control, this resulted in an economic fall within the empire, which slowly declined, it, and with this, the first, Burgavy and Shoowta Porchtroom Invasions would begin.

With the Porchtroom raids occurring, Ritika would be absolutely wrecked, coastal villages were sacked and obliterated, or burnt down to the ground within hours or days. King Iljik quickly took action, after receiving the first messages of the raids, costal armies began to set up and attempt to protect the shores from further Porchtroom raids. Week by week, coastal villages were slain and ruined, ultimately resulting in many deaths and the loss of treasuries and riches. Ritika was capitulated by Porchtrooms during the raids, which was an extreme toll for the Vamayans, and, slowly, an effort began to regain the territories.

In 423, following the death of Iljik I, Iljik II (398-451) was coronated king, quickly, he resumed most of his father's policies, however, some different, and new ones would also be added, laws would be reinforced more harshly to keep order within the kingdom. The Porchtroom raids would slow down tremendously following Iljik II's leadership, with upgrading of naval procedures to better combat Porchtroom raids. In 427, Ritika was reclaimed following several bloody battles for the city, where therefore, the Porchtrooms were kept in check, and for the most part, stopped.

In 434, the Porchtrooms attacked again. The raids against the underprepared and defocused Vamanyan Kingdom quickly blew through naval defenses, as a Porchtroom force landed successfully and secured parts of Vamanya, which therefore sent the country into crisis. Iljik II quickly stepped up to combat the threat, engaging in multiple battles, in an attempt to regain lands from the Porchtrooms. These second raids had a much more devastating blow as Vamanyan infrastructure was havocked and ships in port were blown to shreds, dismantling the naval force. Iljik II quickly calmed down the kingdom via impressionable speeches and quick aid arrived, however the fighting would go on for much longer.

After relentless raids, in 448, The largest force yet would arrive as Vamanyan forces defended well but were ultimately defeated by the Porchtrooms with swarms of Porchtrooms overwhelming high ground defenses, this, compared with the weapons the Porchtrooms had stolen, resulted in the fall of many bases and camps, which allowed Porchtroom forces to move more inland. Iljik II was overwhelmed by this, so in order to expel the Porchtrooms easier, diplomatic ties would begin to form between Kolya and Vamanya.

In 451, Iljik II would die from natural causes in his sleep, coming up to take his throne was Iljik III (431-479). Disappointed in his father's failed efforts to kick the Porchtrooms out, Iljik III made it his mission to build Vamanya back up again from the ashes and obliterate the Porchtrooms forces. Slowly, he would begin forming closer ties with allies and beginning the development of better military equipment and weapons.

In 465, after building up the military to be strong, brute, and merciless, the explement of the Porchtrooms would begin. Aided by Kolya, the Porchtrooms would be decimated with a sneaky invasion, which eventually pushed them off the mainland and sailing back to Burgavy and Shoowta. Iljik III, was hailed as a hero and his excellent battle planning worked perfectly. Vamanya grew to a great extent.

Throughout his reign, Iljik III ruled with an iron fist, but he aided the Vamanyans amazingly. Following his death, Iljik IV (459-508) came to power, following his father's footsteps. Following the succession of a different dynasty in Kolya, now called Episol, relations would be established with the dynasty, in order to defend against possible Porchtroom invasions, if they would ever come back. A large Porchtroom minority still existed on the peninsula at the time of the raids.

### Talarek Dynasty (508-579)

With the death of Iljik IV, The Talarek, a noble family regaining their control slowly would seize power, from the destabilized Thamudic Dynasty. This would plunge the nation into chaos, as the first king, Levitis I (478-533), ruled extremely authoritarian, restricting many Amtan rights. The population grew increasingly angry at the new monarchs, and after years of stability, the economy plunged, this allowed for the Veber Dama Pochtroms establish several settlements and bases in Vamanya.

With the death of Levitis I, the kingdom would further plunge as his successor, Levitis II (510-552) came into power relatively unprepared. This allowed for Veber Dama Porchtrooms to establish new and expand existing colonies in Vamanya and even take Hasia from the Rin Order. From the years 533-548, the Vamanyans continued to steeply decline in many categories, allowing for the Veber Dama Porchtrooms to further expand, merge, and integrate their colonies from the Vamayans. As the Verber Dama got so powerful, they managed to obliterate one of the Empire of Episol's islands, stealing it swiftly with a barrage of Porchtroom attacks. This was the first major setback for the empire.

In 552, Levitis III (536-579) gains power after the death of his father.

In 554, the fall of the Vamanyans would begin as the Empire of Episol and the Rin Order went to war with the Porchtrooms. Much fighting was done in Vamanyan lands, resulting in the complete destruction of infrastructure, even though Vamanya was not directly involved in the war. The end result of the war resulted in some Verber Dama regions on the peninsula to go to Episol, some to the Rin Order, and some to the reformed Verber Dama nation of Kolporadia. In the aftermath of the war, the easternmost region of Vamanya also broke away, forming Dotzia. Nabrosia is also formed by the secession and unification of the remaining Vamanyan lands in the original Ordic lands and the Veber Dama settlements in the original Ordic lands.

In 560, the Bronze Bridge, a disconnected territory of the Vamanyan mainland would separate from the kingdom, seeing although, transport was hard, and how both realms were practically isolated. The capital is moved to Luvisi in the final years of the kingdom.

In 579, a joint invasion between the Miris and the Rin leads to the ultimate demise of the Vamayans, Levitis III dies in battle while fighting the Miris forces near the border, so a sucession crisis appears, as multiple royal families try to get their hands on the Vamayan crown, after the war ends for the Miris and Rin, the 2 kingdoms work out who will be on the crown, as Vamanya is finally split between the two kingdoms of Ennam and Kvodril
