Ancient times
The Isle was inhabited by Homo-Sapiens tribesmen by 100,000BGD. The people on Solus Island had been experienced craftsmen and weapon constructures not found anywhere else on the world. The development of advance agriculture and architecture & complex societies were all over the island, with the earliest society founded around 5,000BGD, the Xais Dynasty. While on the inland Island, the Velzo Kingdom was founded around 5,000BGD. The city of Venuo was the most complex city and archaeological site in all of Solus. The most south of the island were the Seiong-jin Tribe that were hunters and fishermen & were the ancestors to the Koreans of today. The Saius Civilization of the massive island of Vaux, were founded near the Dire River, and had been hunter-gatherers & nomadic tribes men. They were the founded to be master architectures, with their tents being wind resistant due to the storms on Vaux Island, still found in the Calvors State of Nova Solarius.
The Faelin Civilization, the two predominately tribes were the Kiji & Raui Tribes. They were important to the measurements used in Nova Solarius, the Grae Measurements, used by the Faelin tribes of both islands of Faesol & Daegol. They also were the only civilizations until antiquity to use chariots pulled by Horses. The Daegol people were into archery & were masters at horse archery, and were recruited by the Kingdom of Solarius during times of war.
There was one other predominately civilization, though not on the main island of Solus, they were on the island south of Solus, named Telcor, where the Texis Civilization had been and thrived, and were good at navigating the seas and ocean, having even reached the West Coast of Pythia, with ancient artifacts from the Texis Civilization with bows and swords only native to the island because of the unusual shape, they were very disquisitional from other Pythian tribes.
The Estimated population of Pre-Solus Civilization was around 100,000 by 1,000BGD. Due to the limited land area, the population couldn't go more than 1 million and had reached that population by 550BGD.
The Founding of Sol
In the Autumn of 15BGD, Solus Vextor fell from the Heavens, and landed on the Island of Sol, then called the island of Haijo, and began conversing with the population. He used his charisma to sway thew leaders of the villages on the Island to form into one united City. The Elders agreed, and appointed him Chief Elder of the city. It was a 3 years later, that on October 15, that he was proclaimed King of Sol. He starting building projects all around the city and developed architecture that was resembling the Old Roman Structures. It soon began the biggest construction of a city for 10 years, and was the biggest Solarius ever seen for 500 years. The streets were laced with Marble Roads, and drainage systems never have seen before on the island. This level of engineering was almost impossible for those people in the Antiquity Age, but it was done by the mind of Solus, and the Strength of Greco Julus. Solus didn't prioritize the palace, instead, he wanted the the citizens to be sheltered first. During the Construction, Solus stayed in a luxurious Apartment called the "Holy Room". This Apartment is the oldest building in Solus as of 2195. The houses had brick roofs and white walls with different color strips that each resident picked for their homes. Most had chimneys, but where just vents to the outside. The Celestial Palace was built in 5BGD and was the official residence of Kings/Emperors of Solarius.
Antiquity of Solarius (12BGD-500GD)

Advancements in farming led to help feeding a bigger population, with fertilizer & bone meal being introduced.
Situated in the Sol Island Chain, the Island of Solas was the island that the Solarian people had been living on for centuries. During the reign of Solus I, Solarius had expanded to the rest of Solas, peaceful or Militarily, either way, he soon united the island in 5GD. During the Isle Wars, Solus I expanded into the surrounding Islands, though, it would take another 200 years for Solarius to take control of all of the Islands. The Faelo Kingdom & the Kaix Dynasty were two of Solarius biggest rivals in the region. It would be at the Battle of Aqrequm would the final island be conquered. It was due to the expansion, many adventurers ventured to the Grand Island of Vaux, which was home to many cultures and people. Hearing news of this, the Kings of Solarius sent out diplomats to the tribes and nation of the island, establishing relations with the island by 100GD. After the Isle Wars, a period of peace known as Pax Insulae (270-485GD), which lasted 215 years, with only minor wars and skirmishes from pirates and tribesmen. During the 3rd Century, political turmoil erupted, with a coup in the Royal Court, where ministers were killed due to their opposing views After the Pax Insulae, rebellions and wars soon turned on Solarius.
