Lankterlerp, officially the Kingdom of Lankterlerp (Kúngeriket Lankterlerp), is a nation located in southern Anteria, and borders the nations of East Alyeska, Hiblund, Frarstizk, and Bro Wyned. Counting sea borders, it also borders Etheria Roshni. Recently, there have been talks for the eastern most island, the home of the Kurzi people, and Lankterlerp to form an official union, where as right now Kurzi only holds autonomy. The name of which would be the Norish Realm, however talks are still ongoing, and it is only a concept.
History
Pre-History
Not much is known about history before the Norish showed up, however it is known that multiple Germanic tribes was in the area, as small pieces of bronze coins were scattered all over modern-day Lankterlerp. There was also found evidence that a pre-historic Kurzish tribe was in the area, directly west of the island they inhabit, historians therefore believe that the Germanic tribes kicked them out and forced them onto the island early on in their history.
History
Lankterlerp's earliest history (that we know of) started with Juvias's Expedition, where he lead Norish tribes from their ancestral home to the south, it is unknown why, but theories have been going around about potential competition in the area. Either way, in about 805 the began to march, evident by the classic Lankterlerpian Dagger, which has ragged blade, which is still in-use today as a ritualistic weapon, and carried by all Royal Marine Corps in the country. After the arrival of the Norish, a lot more history starts being writen down, especially by the Perian Kingdom, a confederation of city states on the coast of much of modern-day Lankterlerp. Peria was Germanic, so it was very likely that the pre-historic area was, in fact, Germanic.
Perian Wars
After about 170 years of continued peace, the rich Perian lands started being too good to be overlooked by the gold hungry Lankterlerpians, who by now was split into 7 tribes, Ruff, Sjkal, Tumer, Pérr, Keljing, Vidgodt, And Dakk, who was the only one who had a coast. Despite their differences, they all wanted one thing; Gold, riches, and land. And so, in 979, they formed a federation, and 2 years later, they attacked Peria. The Norish tribes had around 30.000 men in their army, whilst Peria had 18.000, however it is important to note that Peria was much richer and better organized than the Tribes, and therefore would see many victories and close victories in the war. The first war would last about 7 years, and resulted in 3 cities to the Norish tribes, and a truce for 20 years.
