## History

### Voclária-Transcardia

Voclária-Transcardia was formed by three Settlers from the Rathnir nation the Maritime Republic of Serafini; Towersthetoad, Percocet300 and Pepe de Gerrát (then known as Momenrotomato) Who could all speak Spanish fluently. During this time the cities of Thaliuactillan, Kalisburgo and Northern Lakial were formed. Much like most of early Eldham much of this Era is unknown and is only known through the memories of those there

### The Birth of Voclarianism

Voclarists believe that the ancestors of Percocet300 were guided through the nether to Astillia by the Nether God Voclari. Percocet300 formed the religion which then went on to be adopted by greater Aristios after Astillia joined the Empire

### Voclària-Transárdacia

After Towersthetoad went missing and a valuable Shulker box was lost Percocet and Pepe de Gerrat's lost morale and had friction between them. The nation was left weak without its leader and the threat of bandit attacks so they decided to join the rising Aristios.

### Early Astillia

Astillia grew massively in population especially in the north after joining Aristios. Kalisburgo and Tlalihuactli merged into one claim known as Kalisgrado, Lakial expanded beyond its walls, Aelamare was built and Ryukostead, Demoisland and Pearl-Castre were founded.

### The Aristii Civil war

During the civil war Pepe de Gerrát decides to reorganize the lands of Kalisgrado and South Astillia into Alba and Sarbania which is the same name of a territory in Serafini that Pepe de Gerrát himelf founded.

Whilst this was happening Lakial joined the Commonwealth and in the end the province reunited under the Republic of Aristios.

### Modern Astillia

After the civil war many people became inactive or migrated west to Castellum. Tlalihuactli renamed themselves to Oxxo and became a separate claim to then Kalisgrado.
