The Arlethic peoples (also called the Arlethians or Vikings) are an Mede-Lorecian ethnolinguistic group of Northern Lorecian origin. They share a common linguistic history, generally speaking Arlethic languages, as well as shared cultural and religious practices.

The Arlethic peoples descended from those Mede-Lorecians 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 and Scanonia.

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. 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 Ethlorekoz 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 in around 350 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 Moravian 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 239 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'.

Erbonian migration

The Outer Arlethic group, comprised mainly of the Nords, the Sexers, the Albans and the Cardes, had settled in modern-day Noordenstat 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 Noordenstat 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 Arlethians 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.
