During the iron age the area that now makes up Blayk was inhabited by a collection of Rubic tribes.

The Treaty of Breun in 920 partitioned Blaccia into North Blaccia and South Blaccia with North Blaccia gaining independence from the Holy Sabarine Empire. North Blaccia which became the Kingdom of Blayk in 967 went on to become the leading power in West Auhres in the Late Middle Ages. Throughout the renaissance Blaykish culture flourished and the nation became the first in Auhres to discover the New World and establish an overseas empire. The 16th century saw Blayk enter union with Vervillia in the Blako-Vervillian Union after the Blaykish-Tyrnican war of 1528. The Blako-Vervillian Union became the dominant cultural, political and economic power in Auhres in the 17th and 18th centuries until it's dissolution in 1790.
The beginning of the 19th century saw a period of great unrest after the death of Phillipe III, culminating in the Blaykish Civil War and founding of the Blaykish Republic. The resulting War of the Commons saw Blayk, Rythene and other minor republican forces band together against invading coalition forces intent on establishing {wp|Autocracy|Autocratic rule}} in Western Auhres.
