Pre-Aroman era
The Old Ebrarian, or Ebraro-Geltic, culture developed from the 6th century BCE, and possibly as early as the 5th century BCE, in the western and southern coasts of the Ebrarian peninsula. The Old Ebrarians lived in villages and walled-towns, and their communities were tribal in organization. The Old Ebrarians in the southern coasts were more urbanized than their inland neighbors to the north. The Old Ebrarian peoples were by and large Geltic, and had an understanding of metalworking, writing, and agriculture.
By the late 3rd-century CE, Yetlandi (Ateenian) traders and raiders had established contact with the Ebraro-Geltic tribes in modern Ebrary, raiding some tribes while establishing trade relationships with others. This culminated in c. 313 with the conquest and vassalization of the Ebraro-Geltic tribes. Raiding perpetrated by these inhabitants flourished at this time, making Ebrary a source of instability in the North Adlantic.
