Etymology
The name of North Bardonia comes from the Hansan Colonizers. Using the Artevenian word for ‘valuable’ Burdoni came the Hansan word Bardonjia, many Hansan explorers thing that he land south of the peninsula would be valuable they named the land were they first colonized (now called the Syclaian Coast) Nord ov Bardonjia (North of Value). This would evolve into, as the Hansan-Carthiadan traders would say Nord Bardonjia. Once receiving independence from Hansa after nearly two hundred years of being under Hansas foot and its ties to the resources of the east that name of Nord Bardonjia would stick. Evolving into to its modern Claycian name of Nörd-Bardönia.
History
Prehistory and Ancient History
Beginning roughly 160,000 thousand years ago the people of the East Magnaterra naturally moved west for more land. This ‘Slow Migration’ eventually to the nomadic Kowri people to settle in the North of North Bardonia continuing a nomadic lifestyle over the vibrant lands. Around 100,000 years ago another group of people coming instead from the west begin the ‘Second Slow Migration’, these people called the Bedouin which continues to roam in the south to this day chose the western coast to settle. Yet again nearly 50,000 years ago another group coming from the east escaping persecution arrived in a ‘Third Slow Migration’ to take over the adió al parts of the Western Coastline. During this time early settlements have been noted dotting around the coast, the oldest of which, know as ‘Mothbridge’ is dated to around 32,000 years ago.
In more recent history around 2000 B.C.E. The first Old Faith settlers fleeing from persecution in the north crossed the Straits of Fate in the nation of what’s known known as Jaredistan and Tribia where a short passage allowed for small rafts to cross the Penitusian allowing many peoples to travel into the region of Western Magnaterra. These settlers chose to move east and eventually discovered themselves in the ‘Carthia’ (Promised) River Valley. Here, where the Carthia meet the sea they built a dozen towns in the delta (ada) of the river and began using agriculture and aquaculture naming this area the Promised Delta (Carthiada). Slowly as Carthiada expanded the people within it would be divided into towns where each town would via for food, land, trade and weapons.
