Early History

Vikays people

Main article: Vicaïs culture, Vicaïs people

Al-Najma Mountains in summer, with the village of Quba near the river

The Vikays people are an evolution of the Proto-Thrismario-Thuadians, they migrated from what is now the areas north of where are currently located Galeteri and Foxomexra, they established a first state which used to lie in the Al-Najma Mountains, it survived and thrived for about 400 years from 5450 to 5050 BCE. Most of it was mountainous but the western areas, south-west of Fuxa, were very erable, where most could also be used for cattle farming, mostly cows.

The late Vikays culture established itself in the banks and coasts of the current constituent states of Luterania, southern Belka, Temeria and the Kingdom of Florence establishing the first states that would come to form the early Empire of Vileria.

The Eight Kingdoms

Main article: The Eight Kingdoms

The Eight Kingdoms era was a period of Vilerian history that lasted from the 50th century BCE to the 42nd century BCE, it's considered the most important period in Vilerian history because it marked the point when Vileria would finally start uniting.

Sanrho Period (4990BCE–4771BCE)

The Kingdom of Valais, the first of two, would be one of the most influencial states of the early Eight Kingdoms period, it was the most prosperous with a thriving economy and culture which extended from the upper Valais mountains to the lower Farnélian Expanse, it was a center of knowledge where many in the regions adjacent would travel to, it also had the first university settled down in Colombier, which is still active today under the form of the Université de Colombier-St-Arthur. They had one of the most powerful militaries as well, being the first of the kingdoms to raise a professional army, one of the earliest in Anterian history.

It was also then that the proto-Vilerianist beliefs would start to form, including the first mention of the Goddess Hausos in a story called the Ballad of Liçanverd which was discovered during archeological researches. The alphabet bears ressemblance to a proto-alphabet known today as early Estherian.

It was also marked by the first War of Succession, following the 12th Luteranian King, Esmal IV (posthumously known as Vangosêt), death without resulting in any male issue, the conflict led to the dissolution of the Kingdom of Luterania in 4812 BCE and its reformation at the end of the Sanrho period as a smaller state.
In 4788 BCE, the Servode Dynasty, rulers of early Belka, would lead an invasion of the Kingdom of Provence to try and expand their power and influence over other nations in the region, it would ultimately succeed by annexing the Kingdom into theirs. It would lead to the First Eastern Coalition War, lead by the Kingdom of Florence

Folklore, myths and legends

Main article: Vilerian Folklore, Vilerian Myths and Legends, The Mythical Swordswoman
The Vilerian Folklore is built on the Vilerianist belief, being a branch of christianity. It is different from other branches of Christianity due to its strong connection with the "Only People" as some call it. The principle is simple, the Empress is thought to be the reincarnation of the daughter of God, named Esther, she is responsible for all the peace and prosperity that the Vilerian Empire has been going through in the last 3000 years. It is said that she knows the future of any individual human and creature and that she is able to create devastating storms. But she always vowed to never use her powers to destroy, but only to create and protect her nation, she wants to protect her nation and only hers, the territories outside don't matter much for her, hence why after the War of Unification she decided to concentrate on making Vileria an impenetrable fortress by creating dense hills and mountains at the west, wet marshlands at the east and headburning steppes at the south. All this making Vileria a very patriotic nation, vowing to protect the Empress at all costs.

One day however catastrophe struck as troops of unknown origins, even to this day, entered the country by the south, marching through the sandstorm not being deterred. The Vilerian Army at the time was strong, but not enough to push back the invading army which pushed up to the city of Rhodes before being pushed back by a man and a woman, respectively an ancient Arcanist and a legendary Swordswoman.
