The Secens or Secenic people were a North Nelbec ethnos that inhabited northeastern Nelbecia during the Nelborne dark ages. Secens spoke Old Secenic whose dialects would form the present Secenic languages. Secens and are commonly accepted as the ancestors of modern Sekens, Fjeskans, and other Secenic peoples.
The earliest mention of Secens is attested from North Nelbec writings from the Classical era, when Proto-Secenic was likely spoken. As a nation, the Secens established the Secenic Empire in the early Middle Ages under the fabled leadership of Myna. As the state decentralized into various duchies, it later transformed into the Secenic Confderation before ultimately becoming proclaimed as the Kingdom of Seketan by Moress II in the 9th century.
Origins and early states
During the Classical era, Proto-Secenic was spoken by early Secens who formed tribal societies on the basin of Lake Seketan. There is little attested evidence of early Secens, however their likeness is mentioned in some North Nelbec writings.

Confederation
Legacy
Seketese, Fjeskan, and other dialects and languages are spoken today, forming the Secenic branch of the North Nelbec languages. Secenic society under their empire purportedly formed a common nation; its subsequent decentralization formed the Secenic duchies whose borders inspire the provinces of Seketan. Old Seketese emerged from Old Secenic as a liturgical language during the Christianization of Seketan. The Duchy of Fjeska remained a nominally independent polity from the succeeding Kingdom of Seketan, leading to the formation of Old Fjeskan as a recognizable written language.
