The Avernahkii were a nomadic Turkic people who established a major continental empire across northern Vinya between the 3rd and 6thCenturies CE. The Avernahkii Khaganate would become the largest Turkic empire formed in the history of Septentrion, stretching from the Northern Ocean coastline of Kolodoria to the West Gulf of Letnia.

The Avernahkii are first attested to in the 2nd Century BCE as having originated along the east coast of the Delfina Sea, before migrating across the Sedrinkan Plateau south into the Vyzhvan Steppe, where the became part of the Khorgruiq Confederation. At some point in the 1st Century CE they subjugated the Kupkans and had extended their presence westwards to the Liara River. Through uncertain means the Avernahkii became the dominant power in the Steppe by the 2nd Century under Khan Clejurric, likely by taking advantage of the political instability of the Khorgruiq. In the 3rd Century under Khan Ghorturin the Avernahkii crossed the Vastargyis Mountains and invaded the Katolaunian Fields, advancing all the way to the Satalice Valley. Isperia was incorporated into their growing domain around this time, and incursions into Selonia followed between 240-265 CE. By the start of the 4th Century they had conquered Bessarabia, Khalkhin, Tukayyid, and had reached as far as the Vytenis River.
