## History

##### Early History

The first inhabitants of the land currently known as the Hexian empire were the Lanai people. This indigenous culture developed advanced agriculture, architecture and necromancy. Historically these people were prominent in all regions save where Zalderra is located. Before the Lanai came in contact with the Trilxian traders they had intricate trade between the fledgling Almara city-states and the Warring Provinces (Xithian). Estimating the indigenous population of the Lanai during this period is difficult as few Lanai records survived the Revolution.

##### Colonial Era

In the year 2413 the Solaria landed at what would become modern day Pyra and created a short term settlement for trade. Those aboard the Solaria would find the Lanai people to be technologically advanced in medicine and agriculture but lacking in warfare.

By 2430 the Grand Schism and birth of Damascula would send several cultural groups in Trilxian to seek expansion elsewhere and the building of Trilxian culture in other spheres. The Lanai people welcomed the new people, opening their settlements and homes but few elves lived within Lanai settlements save Blut Athens. During this period an influx of Trilxian settlers moved and created the following cities: Zalderra, Solverra, Kandesa, Idnirra and Imperria.
By 2601 the Trilxian had effectively built up their settlements and areas and started to send out their own ambassadors to the Lanai’s historical trading partners. From 2601-2620 the Trilxian would encroach upon Lanai trade deals and claimed Lanai land including protected areas.
During this period of time the Trilxian in the Lanai kingdom start to experience a drift in culture from their home country and take a new name. Hexian after the growing Damascula’s sword Helixian.

##### Revolution Era (2637-2638)

With a successful split from their home country the Hexians under Damascula decided that cohabitation with the Lanai was no longer an option and set to methodically taking over the land that was previously inhabited.
The war started with the assassination of the current Lanai leaders at Vo’retern, what had traditionally been an annual meeting between the two peoples to celebrate the ending of the planting season and the end of the frost.
After their deaths the Lanai kingdom fell to the divine-blessed Lori’a. She sought to seek aid from their traditional allies but was turned away by those in Xithian, while those in Almara found themselves locked in their own battles.
During this period the Sildarian Desert and Hinderlands come into existence due to the raw amount of magic harnessed during battle.
Lania forces were forced to retreat into the depths of the GBR where they made their last stand at the Revered Temple of the Three. It would prove to be a fatal stand for both sides with only a handful of Hexians surviving the carnage and all Lanai dead. Lori’a is said to have been pulled into the temple during this fight by her Gulward-born Swornheart. She would be pulled into an artificial slumber by the Lanai Sisters to await a time when she was needed.
This final battle would leave the Hexian forces successful in their quest for domination and from the Lanai kingdom’s ashes would rise the Hexian Empire.
