In 52, a Flood happens and Lirun Probias is killed while Arin and their child lose their power in the Yphdran region, Yphdreg appears, all citizens living in tribes but worshipping the same God, Yggdrasil with the Probias Family being given a normal status instead of their noble origin and entering in religious wars against Levigm for their worshipping of Leviathan and Behemoth, considered foes of Yggdrasil.

In 320, Yphdreg enters in a war against Belzeen, Akerathon, Levigm and Somnus. It is attacked and separated by the Belzeenian Empire, losing Natas and renamed Balpheg in the process, thanks to Artemius Probias, the Balphegian Tribes managed to defeat the Belzeenian Empire.

In 340, with Belzeen's attack of Akerathon, some Balphegian Tribes led by Hadron Malm leave for an insland at the west of Lucifa where they found a new country, Malm.

In 510, the Balphegian Tribes attacked the Belzeenian Empire along with the Xiongnu and with Licssius' army, the empire fall, uniting one year later, and, six years after the fall of the Belzeenian Empire, with Lucifa becoming independant, Balpheg once more merge with Lucifa under the rule of Licssius. His daughter, Sara, will marry a descendant of Artemius Probias, Zerun Probias, and the Probias Family will rise at the Imperial Family until the Great War.

In 982, Balpheg attacks Levigm, Malm and Licssi to support Natas, starting the Great War, eventually, the Lucifan Empires lost and Balpheg is ordered to repay all damages in Licssi and of its own country, as well, the Probias Ruling Family will be forced to abdicate as the empire turns into the Republic of Armen. The Green Country suffers from high unemployment which helped a political party, the National Union, to gain power, in 1000, its leader, Eris Aaito is elected, then starting the Second World War.

## Color Name
