## History

Remains of Duckains have been found around Kartek and Southern Sparwood, it is commonly accepted that Duckians began their existence somewhere in south Rathnir, from which they migrated north into Sparwood. Several Duckian Skeletons have been found around Altequina and Syltor, which have been used to support the Great Migration however experts on the subject matter have dismissed them as simply migratory and exploratory Duckians.

### Mythical origins

First Duckians Appear in the Adavian Region in 5,000 BSC, not much is known about them previously to this. They then travel through Vastallos and across the sea into Syltor, where they temporarily settle in and around the land of Orilin. They continue south through Ummarnu and then onto a long seaward migration which would spread their peoples all along southern Rathnir. Eventually arriving in south Sparwood and continuing north until a large group stop in the Eastern Nieden Islands. From there they gradually declined after being subjugated and persecuted by all number of states until the founding of Vastarok, from when they're population began to significantly increase

Between 5,000 and 4,700 BSC, the First Duckians every historically recorded, they existed in south Alteniquia for three hundred years before, due to a combination of local species pushing Duckians out, and poor harvests, the Duckians packed up and left for Vastallos As the Duckians entered Vastallos after a 200 year migration they began to adopt the locals enjoyment of chocolate and economic prowess, this era was short lived as the more unified tribes of Vastallos pushed them out in less than 200 years

The Empire of Sarqata was the first official nation-state created during the generational Duckian Migration between 3,900 and 3,700 BSC. The Empire was extremely Xenophobic due to constant raids from local Andorn tribes, in fact they became Xenophobic to the point of being driven out due to revolts in lesser species. The Duckians of Syltor would be persecuted and genocided for the next 5,000 years.

### Federation of Tshezqua

The first well documented nation in Duckian history, the Tshezquans were a stable but weak Federation of Duckian tribes which eventually collapsed over conflicts due to mining rights over the mesa. It lasted from 3,544 to 3,424 BSC.

Dozens of tribes of Duckians, done with the now almost 3000 year migration of peoples, began settling in Lorenti lands. These tribes have either integrated into the local states or exist as isolationist groups to this day

The Great Horde would become the most powerful pre historical state in Duckian history, they thrived and spread Duckians all over the now Karteki lands for over 2,000 years. Eventually however a decline began, which lasted for several centuries and eventually led to the collapse of the Horde
