History
Before the Empire
Prehistory
A recent expedition found a cave in the Northernmost part of the country that contained a pair of firestarters, leather straps, a primitive stone handaxe and a couple of teeth. Due to the cave having been sealed for millenias, the aformentioned items were found to be in incredible condition.
In the South of the country, just outside of Celagia city, a team of archaeologists found three shards of ceramic pottery accented with gold-leaf. The organic compounds in the shards were dated, which puts them at around 3000 years of age. This proves that agriculture had been taking place in the area well before the Cellaan arrived.
Cellaan Popoli
From ~500 to ~800, the area around the gulf was ruled by small city-states, which called themselves "Popoli", or "Areas of the Monarch". The Cellaan culture was built on warfare, which was basically the only thing they all had in common. Many wars were fought in these lands, often over things as simple as their leader losing a game of dice. A clay tablet from the city of "Toraatilipa" describes a grueling battle between their army and that of a neighbouring city. It says, translated from middle-Cellaan: 'We find ourselves on the battlefield. The city had been massacred and now lays in ruin. If we could flee, we would, but we have nowhere to flee to. May Bassardic have mercy on us.' Bassardic being the middle-Cellaan word for Basrodec, God of War.
