It is generally accepted that the ethnic groups that now make up Kyldigard came from the exiled peoples of the Great Slave Rebellion of 414 in the ancient Kethesian Empire.
Around 150-200 AR, scientists from the Empire of Kethes began experiments in the field of synthetic evolution, eventually leading them to produce the genetic ancestors of modern Kyler to fill a niche role of servitude for the upper and ruling classes of Kethes. By 250 AR, a stable population of approximately 100,000 Kyler was being maintained in Kethes. Due to selectively evolved docility, the first several generations of Kyler were submissive to the wills of their creators and were also unable to reproduce naturally, despite being built to be reproductively compatible with multiple other species found in Kethes at the time.


Around 410 AR, the Kethesian Empire began conducting a mass roundup and enslavement of all Reljanites, as well as of homosexuals, the six-fingered, and the left-handed. This is, by many historians, one of the reasons why the flourishing pro-gay culture of Kyldigard exists as it does today. For around five years, an unspoken alliance between said persecuted groups led to the First Slave Revolt in late 410, a mass riot and street fight which ended in approximately 100 rebel deaths and no significant progress towards freedom. After the first revolt's failure, the ethnic groups who would one day form the Kyldigardian people, as well as their allies, conducted a guerilla warfare campaign against the Empire for five years until the Great Slave Rebellion of 414, which bolstered their numbers enough to cause major sociopolitical turmoil within the Empire's borders. Seeing the danger in allowing the people to stay within Kethesian borders, the Kethesian Emperor exiled all groups formerly enslaved in Kethesia outside the Empire's borders.
Although the exact date is unknown, it is well known that by 380 AR, most of the Kyler population had devolved the docility and infertility traits and developed the ability to feel and understand complex emotions and abstract concepts. Because of cruel treatment of Kyler slaves by their Kethesian masters, the Kyler planned and on many occasions failed small local slave revolts. Underground Kyler societies began to form which rallied for liberation, with some radical sects even calling for the extermination of their Kethesian overlords.  
 
At midnight in the winter of 414 AR, after being planned for decades, the Great Slave Revolution brought the mass slaughter of around 120,000 slave-owning Kethesians, leading to a royal decree that permanently banned Kyler production and slavery and exiling all Kyler currently residing within Kethes. Due to the harsh desert terrain outside of Kethes, the Kyler people migrated northward, discovering magic and art during the 5th Century AR on their way to what is now modern Kyldigard.
 
Around 501 AR, the Kyler encountered the [[Kveutonian Empire]], sacking it as it collapsed in on itself and pushing the prior Kveutonian residents out of their cold yet fertile central lands.

Kyldigard, once established by its people, made easy allies with Khijovia in both nation's early days after the fall of the Kveutonian Empire, however after disputes arose regarding the [[Kyldigardian Border Cantons]], a steady cycle of war and peace would break out between the two nations starting in 580 AR and continuing until a ceasefire settlement was reached in 1495 AR.


The geography outside of the Empire was harsh, which inspired the various people groups in exile to formally ally in early 415 AR, in what is often called the "Grand Alliance" or the Alliance of the Reljanite Tribes.

Kyldigard (Kylerur: Kyldigard [kɪldiɡɑθd]), officially The Confederation of Kyldigardian Cantons, is an organized ethnic community and de facto democratic republic located in northwestern Pelia, strattling the edge of the Clastoclites. To its west is the Kesper Sea and to its north is the Wintry Ocean. Its capital city is Muremysct, and it has a population of about 27,000,000 Kyler and Human citizens and residents, of which 3%, or about 800,000 are of the indigenous stone-age Scizc Nation. The Confederation is made up of 19 de facto cantons and several hundred unincorporated communes and other small township residences. Although Kyldigard's de facto governing body, the Council of Wardens, is very benevolent in their application of Kyldigard's de-facto state religion, Relejenism, the vast majority of Kyldigard's Kyler population considers themselves highly devout in the faith.

Etymology

History

Around 150-200 AR, scientists from the Empire of Kethes began experiments in the field of synthetic evolution, eventually leading them to produce the genetic ancestors of modern Kyler to fill a niche role of servitude for the upper and ruling classes of Kethes. By 250 AR, a stable population of approximately 100,000 Kyler was being maintained in Kethes. Due to selectively evolved docility, the first several generations of Kyler were submissive to the wills of their creators and were also unable to reproduce naturally, despite being built to be reproductively compatible with multiple other species found in Kethes at the time.

Although the exact date is unknown, it is well known that by 380 AR, most of the Kyler population had devolved the docility and infertility traits and developed the ability to feel and understand complex emotions and abstract concepts. Because of cruel treatment of Kyler slaves by their Kethesian masters, the Kyler planned and on many occasions failed small local slave revolts. Underground Kyler societies began to form which rallied for liberation, with some radical sects even calling for the extermination of their Kethesian overlords.

At midnight in the winter of 414 AR, after being planned for decades, the Great Slave Revolution brought the mass slaughter of around 120,000 slave-owning Kethesians, leading to a royal decree that permanently banned Kyler production and slavery and exiling all Kyler currently residing within Kethes. Due to the harsh desert terrain outside of Kethes, the Kyler people migrated northward, discovering magic and art during the 5th Century AR on their way to what is now modern Kyldigard.

Around 501 AR, the Kyler encountered the Kveutonian Empire, sacking it as it collapsed in on itself and pushing the prior Kveutonian residents out of their cold yet fertile central lands. Due to no de jure treaty having been signed, the Confederation of Kyldigardian Cantons is still de facto at war with Kveutonia to this day, although no actual conflicts have arisen since 1308 AR.

Kyldigard, once established by its people, made easy allies with Khijovia in both nation's early days after the fall of the Kveutonian Empire, however after disputes arose regarding the Kyldigardian Border Cantons, a steady cycle of war and peace would break out between the two nations starting in 580 AR and continuing until a ceasefire settlement was reached in 1495 AR.
