The history of Ignesia, starting with the settlement of the Vimician continent by Proto-Hysante peoples in around 1,500 BE, is very rich and well-documented thanks to strong writing traditions in periods as early as the Hlepreve dynastic era. The Proto-Hysante peoples would coalesce into four (later three) major groups: the Izactan, Vernero, Ignevan, and Castrelper. The Hlepreve and Yleneler Ignevans were aided by the fertile Nermeve Rivers and the natural border of the Vrezar Veseher mountainrange in the north, considered the core of the Ignesian state.

The Hlepreve dynasty, founded by Uvjen, encompassed the entirety of the Nermeve area as well as some parts of present day Xernesia. During the infancy of the Hlepreve, the oldest written text in the history of the Vimician continent was found in the city of Fexeros in contemporary Ilvane, a record of the crop yield of the year, dated around 1100 BE. Slowly over the 2nd millenium BE, works of literature would be found dating almost more than 3000 years old, including historiographies, rituals, and even biographies. Here, Hlepreve writing is considered one of the only 6 occurences where writing emerged independently.

The written records of the Hlepreve became scarce after the 10th century BE, theorized to be because of the internal collapse of the Ignevan order, and would only return to form during the 900s BE, parallel to the ascension of Ylenel and his dynasty over Igneva. The state would suddenly fall as natural disaster struck the capital city Ievelox. The period between the fall of the Ylenel and Vimicius' First Ignesia is romanticised as the Two Great Wars. These wars would see states and provinces fight over legitimacy over the Ignevan warlords, and was heavily popularized by Jeane Vur Lelexe's Great Wars of the Continent of Vimic in 1688 AE. The end of the second Great War came to a conclusion when Vimicius orchestrated the conquest of former Yleneler lands. Also during this period, Nexarnam's religion would spread across the nation and beyond into the Gandernan and Vernero.

The empire of Vimicius was considered a peaceful and golden age in arts, culture, innovation, religion, and military might. Its fall after the usurpation of the Ignesian throne by Xernos would begin the era of the Vecepere, an almost 1000-year period where war was prevalent across the breakaway states of Vimicia. The Vecepere would end after the fall of the Veltreser Empire at the middle of the 14th century, and Denelssene's discovery of Vimicia in 1529 would again initiate a era of constant warfare, this time between Ignesia and the major Avanere colonial powers

The Treaty of Basroulles that ended the wars in 1701 would bring about a long-awaited period of peace and innovation that had not been seen in full after the relatively dominant First Ignesian era, but would end after Ignesian Kanage was invaded by Cepnist Lijava and the Dezerian Empire in 1935, forcing the Ignesian hand and creating the Association of International Defense. The Trissala Revolutions would stir Ignesian foreign policy after the loss of AID member Ferren, prompting a more agressive foreign policy that would eventually lead to the militarization of space after the nation won the Postwar Space Race. Inside of Ignesia, Axemparex-Axempavekhepe Enpaxerosfi would institute a wide series of reforms relating to racial equality, healthcare, and education in the Pokhrenempaxi ("Grand Program"). After the Lijavan Civil War and the fall of the F.P.A.S., Ignesia would become the dominant superpower and it's faction would encompass almost the entire world as the now Association of Nations.
