History
Ancient Aesculia
Aesculia the home of the one of the first advanced civilizations in Plateia and is considered the birthplace of Plateian civilisation, beginning with the Pentasori civilization and the Andarti civilisation on the islands of the Mare Infinitum, and the Ilian Civilisation on the mainland. The Andarti civilisation was fully absorbed by the Pentasori around 1500 BCE, while the Ilian civilisation expanded its influence over mainland Aesculia and reached its peak at around 1200 BCE.
Due to the Lazian invasions and migrations, the Ilian civilisation suffered heavy blows and never quite recovered from these attacks and later succumbed to Aesculian influence and dissappeared in 6th BCE. The Lazian tribes started their incursions and raids into Ilian lands around 1000 BCE and many settled in the Pentasori kingdoms. At In 934 BCE the Lazian tribes, in an alliance with the Ilians invaded the Mar Infinitus isles which were under a confederation of Pentasori states and kingdoms. With the war finally ending, most Lazians moved over to the Pentasori isles and established their own kingdoms and city states there unther the vassalage of the Ilian kingdoms. The Lazian civil wars began in 870 BCE and ended with the confederated city states of the Aesculi tribe gaining hegemony over the isles. The Pentasori civilisation dissapeared and was assimilated into the Lazian culture.
With the establishment of the Aesculian Kingdom in 840BCE, with its center in the city of Partenope, the Lazians came in conflict with their vassal. The Aesculi asked for the lands in current mainland Aesculia which were settled mostly by Lazians to be given over to them, which was ultimately rejected by the Ilians. The War of the Religions started in 770BCE due to Lazian religion being forbidden in Pentasori realms which served as a casus belli for the Aesculi to invade and finally conquer all of Pentasori lands.
