Azgeda's History goes back years. For Most of Azgeda's history, it was fractured into many kingdoms and duchies and it was not until the introduction of the Halit Empire that the Halitean people began to rise up in power and prominence. In the Great War of 1792, The Halit Empire was fractured following their surrender, reducing the nation's former lands into nothing more than rump states. After the war several issuing conflicts between the newly formed Republics of Halyt and Teioj. Known as the Elean Wars of Independence, Halit Was allowed to keep lands within Ele and Fei. This had caused Ele to break off from Halit and cause a mass industrialization effort from both of the nations during the 1830s and 40s. Later In the late 1920s and early 30s, Halit experienced several massive centrist rebellions. Most of these were supported by the people's Hate in the republic which had become extremely Corrupt by this time. In a referendum in 1942, The centrist government reinstated the great-great grandchild of the former Emperor of Halyt, Jezhor Halyt as the 'President' making him a political decoy to gain the support of the people. Yet people disliked the Centrists rule over the government declaring their use of heavy political isolation and the transformation of most money going to the higher leaders. A civil war soon started in 1943 to reinstate the rule of the republic following Jezhor's proclamation of the Kingdom of Halyt. This would cause major destruction, but ultiamtely lead to Jezhor winning the war, where he would rename the nation to Azgeda, meaning northern state, to distance the nation from its old self. During the late 20th century, the nation would find itself rapidly modernizing and soon rivaling nations like Pikland, Gliserine, and Temugin.

## History

#### **Early History**

Long before any nation-states were founded within the region of Azgeda, there were several tribal groups. Most primarily the Moulu, the Hejaoulu, and the Jekoulu People. These People groups largely inhabited the southern coast, living off the land. Around 300 BCE, a new power took hold in the area, named Saaljaen, This was the first proper organized government within the region. Little is known about the nation, but certain sources from Pikland said the nation was very developed and culturally rich. Though this wasn't to last; In around 120 BCE, Saaljaen collapsed under mysterious circumstances, thus leaving a power vacuum within the area. Several smaller clans rose up to power, as the indigenous Moulu people were pushed out, with the Hejaoulu people taking center stage within the region.

#### **First Kingdoms**

Around 80 BCE, several nation-states rose up within the Yarjö peninsula region, many of which would be small broken up states that had no real political precedent over their surrounding areas. Beginning in 20 BCE, the Kingdom of Jurlöcke and Kingdom of Haijëk began to fight for power over the southern areas of Azgeda, seizing land and centralizing the territory that made up the region.
