Etymology and terminology

Bretislavia gets its name from the Kingdom of Bretislavia, would would come to conquer the region and form the state as it is today. The roots of the name come from the evolution of Tiskai language as through the evolution of Bretislavian society as they migrated southward from the Tiskai region and formed their own society and culture. Bretislavia comes from the the river of Bretslav, whose area was among the first settled by early-modern humans. The name of the river is believed to come from an ancient leader of these settlers, Bratslaw, whose name was later corrupted to Bretslav.

History

Background

56,000 years ago, early modern humans settled what would become the lands of Bretislavia. These early modern humans (EMH) were a largely Slavic group, believed to have come from the region that would eventually become [[Tiskaiya]]. These EMH societies would later transform into large tribal kingdoms. Overtime these tribal Kingdoms formed in to proper feudal kingdoms, nine in total. These nine kingdoms ruled the area and surrounding areas well into the 10th century.

Establishment of Bretislavia

Early in 1049 the largest and oldest Kingdom in what would become Bretislavia, the Kingdom of Riečnepolia (literally "River Fields"), began a campaign of invading its neighbors under the rule of King Cyril IV. Riečnepolia, which had inhabited the lands and surrounding lands first settled by early-modern humans along the Bretslav river, had long had ambitions of regional unification, however a series of disastrous rulers and military campaigns had seen the country largely mitigated in decades prior. Though still the largest in 1049, it had seen massive land loss to its neighbors.

The Riečnepolian King Cyril, who ascended the throne in 1047 at the age of 21, had spent first two years of his reign establishing a strong river-based economy and agricultural society that could field and support a large military.

The Early Kingdom

During Paul's reign, he sought to establish the Kingdoms' position on the world stage. The resource-rich and wealthy lands presented a great opportunity to expand cultural and economic power during his reign. As such he enacted a series of laws that allowed the Kingdom to grow its economy and its population. The Kingdom would see much prosperity during his 23-year reign. During the 23 years (1049-1072) he would have to deal with the low nobles who controlled much of the kingdom's lands; Though the nobles were in support of much of his laws, they proved difficult when the time came to levy taxes to pay for the Kingdoms agricultural and merchant programs. One such incident led to a small noble revolt in the west in the city of Anatom, where the reigning mayor used the city's sizable levy force to raid the tax caravans, so as to hold the amount ransom to the king for greater autonomy. This was met with swift action from the king, albeit it earned him few friends among other large towns and cities.
