## History

### Early History

The origins of many peoples in Aealᴛrios dont actually stem from Solideti civilizations, a large group of refugees came to Xelionople from the central continent of Lazzeatir and even the northwestern continent of Kavernis. this migration spanned many years and many people settled on the land they passed or joined the migration. Although many different peoples and cultures played a part in this migration, the two main species traveling were Humans and Magmerians (a type of dark skinned humanoid species with red eyes), the Magmerians led most of these expeditions, with the main house eventually ruling would be the Daahös family, which is referred to as ∆āxōs in Solideti. The immigrants eventually arrived in ∆omios.

### Arrival to Xelionople

The first immigrants arrived in the beautiful city of Xelionople, also referred to as Helionople, the Solideti welcomed them with open arms and soon set to accommodate them, giving many members important positions in the diarchy which at that time was ruled by Nicofera and Silvarius of Soldaton. There were many name changes as well, names were converted to the Solideti language, males took their father's names as a middle name, and females did so with their mother's names. The current leader of that time, Avaro Dahos, while refusing to take his father's name, still changed to the traditional pronunciation, he was now Āvārō ∆āxōs.

Āvārō ∆āxōs got permission to create his haven for the immigrants, and set out for the west of Eδē. This city would not only be able to take advantage of any trade going on there, but it would also stand as a bastion against the Fiteks, a group of mountain tribes located on the Juplisatu range. The first important building that was built was the library which can still be seen today, while the Aealᴛrians built their city, many things happened around them, their two purposes soon could not be preformed, as BaSanemi started to fade away and many people died out, its not known how they disappeared but this severed all trade ties before they'd even begun. as for the Fiteks, they also slowly started to die out, soon, all traces of them were gone, except for their mountainside homes. During this period of construction, a Magmerian child was born, Caelēus Āvārō ∆āxōs, son of Āvārō ∆āxōs, became the heir, his father died soon afterwards, and he became the leader of the city.

### Reign of Caelēus Āvārō ∆āxōs

Caelēus of Aealᴛrios was a very ambitious young man, as he got older, he started making more and more important changes. The Magmerian ruled for a very long time, the era of his control is thought to be a golden age.

### Soli-Geltrijk War

The Xelianā and the Union of Theros had had bad relations in the past but eventually it escalated so much that war broke out. The Therosians merged with The Geltisch Handelsrijck in order to protect themselves. Caelēus left with his small force of Aealᴛrians and headed for Xelionople. From the Eagles Nest, they left for Nicandria. Once there they got ready to leave the city and fight in the Therosian wilderness. Solideti legions left the city and headed to a nearby mountain overlooking Thessalonia, the Solideti shouted and insulted the soldiers of the northern coalition, and then they charged down. Although the Solideti soldiers extremely outnumbered them, they valued quantity over quality, and paid the price, it was a slaughter, and many Soli were slain. There were even accounts of enemy soldiers wielding fireballs, and unleashing chaos on the troops of Xelia. Caelēus and a few of his Legionaries barely made it out alive in the retreat back to the city, enemy soldiers cut them down in the forest. once in the safety of the walls, Nicofera realized that without any resources or money left, and due to the massive military failure at Thessalonia, they had no chance of fighting against the experienced allies of the Geltrijk. So the Solideti Triumvirate sued for peace, and they left Nicandria to crumble.

### Slow Collapse of the Empire

After the Solideti's defeat and return to ∆omios, life went back to normal, buildings were being built and events held. over time though, things started to dull, not many new things happened, the population plateaued, and then, Nicofera Gratian Xefloi died, bringing an end to the Diarchical age.

### The Solideti Dark Ages

The darkest time in Solideti history was during the dark ages, during this period, tons of Sōli died. One of the main causes was **Maηāmxelia**, a plague that completely devastated the empire, the epidemic, and other issues including hunger and civil strife, wiped out an estimated 90% of the population, maybe even more. Only a few town and cities remained alive, apart from that, people usually lived spread out, and Barbarian groups flooded in, claiming the new empty lands as their own. A philosopher by the name of Adiaxarus claimed that the deaths were "the punishment that Helia had given them for their sins." Caelēus believed that the Goddess' anger was caused by the Solideti's inability to defeat the Therosians in the earlier war, as the mandate from the heavens claimed that they had too.

## Architecture

The city of Aealᴛrios has seen many different architectural styles over its history, examples off all of these can be viewed in the city itself, it shows the evolution of Aealᴛrian architecture over time.

### Old-Xelianā

The style of Old-Xelianā can be traced back to the city of Xelionople, when the first Aealᴛrians came from the city, they brought its early architectural style with them. This style can be easily identified by its wooden top half, and white bottom half, it has a red layer at the very bottom, its roof is almost always made of bricks and granite and has a wooden border.

### New-Aealᴛrian

Eventually, after time pasted, the Aealᴛrians moved to a more original style, they added on to Old-Xelianā, took away the wooden parts surrounding the top and added more color and texture. The New-Aealᴛrian style usually had a white bottom half and then a colorful top half, the roof stayed the same as the older style and apart from this change to a more personalized colored exterior, not much else was different.
