## History

At the start, the "Ukialtans" were mostly defined as the farmers that settled in the northern Ukialta areas, where open fields allowed for large farms. They generally organized in small villages and towns, which were known as "Kra"s, and they did call themselves Ukialtans, but did not have any higher amount of organization. The elders of the towns generally had says in matters but there were no clear cut leaders within these small villages and towns.

This changed soon however with the introduction of blacksmiths to Ukialta which allowed for better tool making and a significant improvement in the quality of life. These blacksmith were known as "Çirun", (*Read as Tsirun)* which over time became the leaders of these Kras. They were the center of every Kra as they were the singular profession that stood out, their complicated processes impressed people and stayed a family secret in many areas, leading many to believe that they are smarter than everyone else, which also led to people consulting Çirun's for town matters.

Eventually, the trade was opened to Ukialta, as thanks to the improved tools produced by Çirun's, there was now a surplus of food, which started to be exported down south via the central sea. The rivers and coastal areas became prominent, and over time, due to how long transporting these food took, a new class was born: Şarkrun. These were the merchants of Ukialta, and they began having sour relations with Çiruns after a short time. They started bringing new knowledge and items from these lands unknown to many of the farmers. Some called Şarkruns heretics to their religion, and some embraced them as a bringer of information from outside land.

These tensions especially peaked during the *Wars of Aprikra**,*** or the First Ukialtan Civil War***,*** when Şarkruns and Çiruns went into direct conflict. This continued for centuries as some Çirunkras fought alongside Şarkruns and some against them. It was ended with a treaty giving a shared power of an unified government to Şarkruns and Çiruns. This would later be ignored by the Vatyanet Family as they solidified Şarkrun power over the country.

At the same time, the Şarkrun has had mostly started living in the southern regions, especially in Işrakra. This soon turned the Şarkrun-Çirun divide into a Southern-Northern divide. The physical separation soon started to change the cultures of both sides. Ironically, southerners were much more conservationist with their culture, even though they had more social interaction. Most of this came through some elitism, but mostly an understanding of cultural preservation and an emphasis on it. While this was happening, the Northern Ukialta was having a lot of immigration into it, which changed their culture drastically, making the north's religion slowly transformed and took over from the Ukialtan religion, and their usage of Ukialtan fall heavily out of favour and generally be used with the Ageosi Tounge.

All this eventually accumulated to create the Era of Unrest, which led to the eventual, The Ageosi-Ukialtan War, Second Ukialtan Civil War, and the Fall of Işrakra.

After the Fall of Işrakra, most of the Southerners fled north to the Vatyaneti, where Ukialtan Culture for the most part, still lives on.
