The Principality of Namija was an Ethlorek state in the east of modern Trellin. Namija was originally settled in the 100s BC, with settlers from Trellin arriving some time afterward. From their capital at Cavari, the princes of Namija subjugated their neighbours in Minia, Yntela and Eskaukar to dominate the course of the Hanoth river by the turn of the second millennium. They remained amiable to their northern neighbours in Ja'ekha and consequently were a bastion of stability during the numerous wars fought in the eastern Velar, though they entered into conflict with the Andamonian Empire on several occasions. From the twelfth century, it fought a series of wars for supremacy over the city-states of the Olahu Peninsula. Crises in the fifteenth century temporarily ended its involvement with Andamonia, until its ratafran reentered the country in the sixteenth century, bringing guns and cannon that led to a complete transformation of Andamonia. Namija entered the Trellinese Empire following the marriage of Princess Lusilia to Trellin's Txerig III in 1835.
