The Trihhimic peoples are an assortment of various tribal groups native to the Trihhimerein Peninsula.
Etymology
History
Prehistory
All Trihhimic languages derive from Proto-Trihhimic, which is widely accepted as having been spoken between 5000 BL and 4500 BL
Generally, historians have accepted that the history of the Trihhimic begins around 4000 BL. Archeological evidence suggests that, during the Trihhimic Bronze Age (c. 3900 – c. 1800 BL), the ancestral language of the Trihhimic tongues was somewhere near the Baker culture, of the Rhodes in present-day Tuujarnia. If the Baker culture indeed is the origin of the Trihhimic peoples, then the Hortenic Peninsula would have therefore become Trihhimic via migration. However, historian Cosimo Loccatello has proposed that two distinct pre-Trihhimic groups from the two regions developed, before assimilating and becoming the larger Trihhimic peoples. Therefore, the Trihhimic peoples would have polycentric origins.
Earliest Trihhimic history
The earliest attested Trihhimic peoples were the Tironi, who are recorded as having sacked Gondrius of the Oulét. Ledonian sources note the migrations of the Tironi and Golls westwards, resulting in the Tironi War (927–893 BL) against the Ledonians, during which the Tironi were largely victorious over the Ledonians.
Following the Tironi War, the Trihhimic-speaking peoples experienced a time of expansion into the Ledonian Empire, much to the expense of the latter. Emperor Linius Calvus described Lodwig as the first king of the Trihhimics in 719 BL. Lodwig led a force of Tironi, Golls, and Monts into the Ledonian province of Hortani. In 706 BL, with increasingly large amounts of Trihhimic settlers in the province, Ledonia ceded the province to the Trihhimics. In the following years, Maximius Corvinus crossed the Champéneux into Hortani and massacred Bernari groups immigrating into the former province.
Ledonian Period (651 BL – 285 BL)
Throughout the reign of Maximius Corvinus, Ledonia invaded Hortani and successfully subdued the Helds, Urians, Sears, and Tironi living there, before expanding further east into the heart of Trihhimic territory. Eventually the expeditions reached the Rhodes, and Ledonian legions successfully conquered the heartland under Cassius Pictorus made the region into the Ledonian province Trihimania, and the newly conquered land provided soldiers and gold to the Ledonians.
However, three Trihhimic kings, Lagwig, Howig, and Henpreg forged an alliance and led the Ledonians away from Trihimania into the the Hortenic Peninsula before invading and successfully conquering the capital. In 320 BL Ledonia intended to march the lured forces through the core of Trihimania, but was defeated in the Battle of Horteny. Just two years later (318 BL), Henpreg conquered Hortani and Beuxforti, destroying the last legions of Bernardius Mentus, causing the Ledonian collapse.
Following the conflict between the Trihhimics and Ledonians, the empire incited rebellions in the region. The War of Five Emperors posed the most serious risk to Ledonia, and the nation withdrew from its former territories in 285 BL.
Great Migrations (318 BL – 259)
Following the Ledonian collapse in 318 BL, the Trihhimic peoples migrated into the former lands of the empire. The end of the Great Migrations is generally accepted as 259 when the Monts invaded the heartland of the former empire. The Trihhimic migrations generally mark the transition between Trihhimic antiquity and the Trihhimic Rhodes Age.
Early Migrations (318 BL – 227 BL)
The Golls, under the reign of King Àrmenâris were among the first group of Trihhimics to migrate into the former imperial lands, moving west of the Champéneux. A second group, the Monts under King Unvanni II, began exploring and migrating into Corvania; these Monts would later be known as the Piromonts. The Piromonts successfully seized power of Corvania and began pushing the Ledonians out of their newly-acquired lands.
In 298 BL, Àrmenâris invaded Corvania and reached a peace treaty with Unvanni, in which Unvanni ceded the western portions of the former province. The treaty further solidified a non-aggression pact between the two groups. Two years later (296 BL) a group of Urians and Sears crossed the ocean and began settling in the mainland. That same year, Lorangs crossed the Rhodes into the Hortenic Peninsula, where they seized power of the northern portion of the region. When Unvanni died in 287, the Lorangs attempted an invasion of Corvania, before being re-routed by the Golls.
Other Monts, called the Adomonts, under the leadership of Giovanni I, continued southward, conquering the Island of Bordendofinia. The Urians gradually conquered the Monts north of the Hague from 251 BL to 227 BL. Those who had been in the homeland of the Monts may never have been conquered.
Gollic Empire (227 BL – 7 AL)
In 223 BL, the Gollic leader Hamîl I invaded the eastern portion of Corvani and within three years conquered the whole of the former province. Within five years, they successfully conquered the Montic heartland, possibly with Urian mercenaries. In 211 BL the Golls crossed the Searic Channel and conquered Ingerad, which would later be renamed to Hamîldria, which served as the launchpad for future Gollic expeditions and a key trading point. In 204 BL, Hamîl negotiated a treaty with the Montic king
