## History

### Prehistory

Around 4,000 years ago Whiterin Nomads settled in these areas forming tribes like the Gora, the Zachod-Ludzie and Neon-Ludzie. Popular folktales were said to be born around this time favorites are *"The Frog Princes", "The Easy Way" or "The Hard Way."* It is also believed that these tribes came from the South through the Balkans because they brough trees like "European Beech" which are only native to Southern Europe.

These tribes relied on trade to survive creating a trade triangle where the Baltic tribes produced fish, the southern tribes produced ale and grain and the eastern tribes produced goods like furniture and potatoes.

### Antiquity

After being here for thousands of years the tribes became cities and kingdoms. Notables Factions in this area are the Republic of Masovian, City of Ludzin and Republic of Minsk. These tribes were less reliant in internal trade but more reliant on trade with foreign empires like Portuyyians.

These Republics did face threats from the East like Nomadic Whiterin Hordes and from the South Flavumin pilgrims from the Aegean. This area of the history can be described as being more complex than prehistory because the relations between each city and its allegiances are too complicated to be explained in one paragraph.

### Middle Ages

These republics relied on trade with the Portuyyian so heavily that when the Portuyyians collapsed it caused mass disruption in the region. The Republic of Minsk took advantage of this incorporating territories and centralizing control, they started creating what are called *"Audin-states"* which are a variation of constitutional monarchies.

These *Audin-states* started a stage of identity for the people, instead of identifying themselves as *Flavumin, Whiterin, or Nekosian* they identified themselves as *Minskovites* or *Ludzinnites*. In this era they went from being one group spread throughout a vast area to many Peoples who are more similar to their neighbours than each other,

### Age of Industry

In 1876 Borzabian Forces came and invaded these lands because of their *backwards* and *pagan ways.* The Yurelian Kingdoms didn't stand a chance, they were still living in the Middle Ages by the time Borzabia invaded, Borzabia was pillaging and destroying Kingdoms who didn't even stand a chance against them.

After the region was named *"Arstotzka"* by Borzabian Generals. Thousands of Flavumin and Borzabian Families moved into Yurelia to preach and teach the *Thugborean Education* and the promise of a new and better life. In this Era Borzabia set a class structure determined by your race and loyalty to the Borzabian Republic, They had Governors on top, then military, then Flavumin who moved here, then the Flavumin who were already here, then last the Whiterin Yurelians who became serfs and had to obey every demand of their masters to be freed, the same way where Yurelia must work for Borzabia to be free.

The Borzabians industrialized the territory, they turned Yurelia into a factory to produce for Borzabia and only Borzabia. Yurelia would not be free again until the Thugborean war, where the Yurelian Free Republic declared independence and was recognized by the Republic of Portavia but it was only temporary because after the war they were back under Borzabian control. After the war Borzabian Governors and Officials feared of a great uprising so they striked at the heart of Yurelia, their children. The children were given an education that taught that the way are the way they are because it is the correct way, the Whiterin people lead their Kingdoms into doom by not industrializing fast enough therefore they should be sent to work to repay for what they have done, these schools also taught that Authority is the most powerful thing of all and some people are just not worthy to hold it and that Authority you have now will always be greater than the one before and after, the Yurelians were not taught to work to be alive but to be alive for the State.

### Modern Era

In 1937 The Glourious Republic of Yurelia declared independence and signed a treaty with Borzabia, this treaty included the allowing of Borzabian People to go back and forth but Yurelian people can not enter Borzabia, allow Borzabian gas and oil companies to extract resources from Yurelia, Yurelia must pay maintenance for all Borzabian Military Bases in their land.

Now that Yurelia was finally free the young flavumin leaders put what they learned into action, a system in which whiterin men of all ages were sent to camps whether they were free or not to work for the glorious republic. The brutality of the system on Whiterin people can be said to be more harsh than the Apartheid regime in South Africa in the real world. Even with this, most of the whiterin People did not rebel they saw it as the way things should be. Until one man from one of these camps brough inspiration for all whiterin people throughout all of Thugborea and even became Emperor, This man was Yuri Diablo.
