Thafonici

The Thafonici were an ancient pre-Calresian people group of the Vostau peninsula, living in the southwest of the peninsula. They were known as being the founders and principal population of the Thafonic civilisation, centred around the city of Thafon. Their language and culture would be wiped out in subsequent years by waves of invaders, including the Gauli, the Calrese and other subsequent groups.

History

The Thafonici were in constant communication with their neighbours, both on the Vostau peninsula and across what they termed the 'Great Strait' to their west. At the very least throughout their latter millennium (from the 15th to the 6th Century BCE), they enjoyed civilised rule under a series of Kings, termed by Thafonologists as 'rote monarchs' and 'roll monarchs', maintaining a complex system of internal and external politics and a complex list of tributaries and vassals. Despite other Thafonic cities existing during the period, the wealth, power, position and diplomatic strength of the city of Thafon ensured it was always at the head of any Thafonic league. They enjoyed the use of mercenaries to fight their wars, specifically of Vestu background.
