The Arlethic peoples (also called the Arlethi or Arlethians) are an Mede-Lorecian ethnolinguistic group of Northern Lorecian origin in Astyria. They share a common linguistic history, generally speaking Arlethic languages, as well as shared cultural and religious practices.
The Arlethic peoples descended from poplations of people who established themselves in the northern regions of Lorecia in what was known as Arlethia(?) by the 2nd millennium BC. The history of the Arlethic peoples as a distinct group stretches from that time to the present day, and has begat the main cultures and populations of Albeinland, Great Nortend, Nidwalden, Noordenstaat, Stretta, and Scanonia and has influenced countless others.

First Migration
Most Arlethic tribes moved out of Arlethia(?) by middle of the 1st millennium BC, and returned to the central regions of Lorecia, around the frontiers of the Merovian Empire. On the western side of Aesir Mountains, the numerous tribes split into two groups, forming the Outer Arlethic and Interior Arlethic populations.
Whilst the Interior group settled in the mountainous regions bordering the lake, where the modern-day Mizialand, Nidwalden and Scanonia are located, the Outer group settled in the coastal regions to the west, in modern-day Noordenstaat and Albeinland.
Merovian Empire period
The Merovian Empire arose in the early 8th century BC in what is now Aquitayne. Ruled by an elite Vikairuge family, with its capital at Tyeilorah (modern-day Telora), the empire of Gaiyus Merova grew rapidly to become one of the largest and most populous empires of Astyrian antiquity. The amalgamation of territories into the Empire meant that, at its inception, it had already a population of over half a million.
The Merovian Empire was made up of many peoples, some of whom had voluntarily submitted to its rule, and has been described by different historians as both federal and unitary in governance. The Ethlorek peoples occupied much of the western and northern frontiers of the Empire, acting as a buffer from the 'barbarian' tribes past the Aesir Mountains and to the north. Many of the Ethlorek people served in the empire's armies, defending its frontier. With the continual waves of Ethlorek migrations beginning c. 400 BC, the Merovian Empire was significantly weakened and made their native Vikairuge peoples vulnerable to attack from the Arlethic tribes from the north and west.
The northern Ceran Arlethic tribes staged sporadic attacks mostly from the north of the Empire without great success over the centuries, though the Empire was significantly wounded and suffered greatly during the numerous sackings of border and frontier towns. It is believed that the Arlethic attacks and sackings contributed materially to fall of the Merovian Empire, in addition to the numerous rebellions within the subjects of the Empire itself.
Post-Merovian Empire
A few centuries after the fall of the Empire in AD 295 and the subsequent establishment of numerous city states, the northern Ceran tribes entered into disparately organised region which lacked any central power. Initially greeted with open arms by the native Vikairuge, they soon became the enemy, taking over town after town, and causing the Vikairuge to flee to the Midlands of Aquitayne. The Cerans, satisfied with the condition of the land around the Tanz River, settled down in the form of thirteen states controlled by jarls, later known as the 'Thirteen Scolds'.
Other Arlethic tribes pushed on beyond the shores of Teudallum and arrived in Arabona and Stretta in the early 300's AD.
Erbonian migration
The Outer Arlethic group, comprised mainly of the Nords, the Sexers, the Albans and the Cardes, had settled in modern-day Noordenstaat and Albeinland, with the Nords, Sexers and Cardes in Noordenstat and the Albans in Albeinland.
In the middle of the 3rd century, many of the Noordenstaat tribes landed on the shores of Lesser Erbonia and settled down owing to the breakup of the Erebbonic nation. Originally, there were only sparse settlements however in the late 3rd century, an increasing number of Nords and Cardes arrived. By the late 4th century, the Arlethi had settled in various areas in Erbonia, mainly with the northern regions by the Sexers, north-eastern and western by the Cardes and the southern and central by the Nords, killing most of the native Erebbonic peoples.
