Since prehistoric times, the continent of Cimmeria has been at first sparsely inhabited by anthropophagic cave-dwelling peoples whose descendants have come to be referred to as Wendol by medieval historians, before being displaced by the Ungols, a people of hitherto obscure origins migrating from as far as the Utter East and arrived in Cisudelia somewhat between 15,000 and 13,000 BCE. The Iron Horde, a confederation of thirty-three tribes from which the name of the country is derived, arrived on the same route as their predecessors and intermingled with them and the eastern Hyborian tribes that preceded them. The southwestern region of Cimmeria was previously conquered by the ancient Acheronian empire at its highest extent before it broke off by the start of the Hyborian Age; it was mentioned in cave reliefs as a wealthy province known for its richly-colored textiles and other finery. Archaic Argosians settled its southern coast in the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE, founding colonies that would then develop to become powerful city-states and encountering the Ungol kingdoms before their conquest by the Aurean Empire.
