The withdrawal of Aurean imperial military authority from the region enabled the influx of non-Aurean peoples and the formation of a breakaway kingdom known as Tervania in 335 CE, following which, having scarcely persisted in the mass onset of the Wendol incursions into Hyboria by the late 5th century CE, the Ungols re-emerged as a recognizable people once again in Cimmeria and Eastern Hyboria as they were tens of thousands of years ago.

Angvar[a] (Angvarian: Ongvotar [ˈɒːŋˌβɒtɑːʕ] (
listen); Nemedian: Eisenheim [ˌɔɪzɛːnˈhɔɪm̩] ( listen)), officially the Imperial State of the Crown of Angvar[b], is a transcontinental sovereign state comprising the whole mainland of the Cimmerian continent and most of eastern Hyboria with northern Seria as well as numerous islands in the Atlantean and Lemurian oceans and various overseas territories and dependencies. At 44,889,573 km2 (17,331,961 square miles), or three times the size of the continent itself, Angvar is the largest country in the world by area, encircling one-sixth of Earth's inhabitable landmass and extending across twelve time zones. Bounded to the north by the Borelian Sea, to the south by the Obrisian Sea, to the west by the Maulland Sea and to the east by the Kippon Sea, it borders Drakonia and Ostenia to the west; Sylvania and Avernia to the southwest; Obrisia, Berbania, Ishavan and the Zandish Raj to the south; and Seria to the east, while sharing maritime boundaries with the North Sea Realm and Kippon to the far east, respectively. Via its overseas territories, it borders the Anxi-Fuzhi Union, Kongli, Kaozhi, Lianjian and Zhengxiang by way of the International Legation Zones along the eastern coast of Seria; Baqet, Lozi-Vulu, Kikuvu and the Hazirid Boqorate in Maurica; and Zankorra Berria, Pregonia and New Tilgard in Upper Merunia. The country consists of a total of one hundred and sixty-nine governorates (or gaue): one hundred thirty-four on the mainland and thirty-five being overseas. The westernmost and easternmost governorates on the mainland are Neuweißeheldenburg and Vladivoyna, respectively, while the northernmost point overall is in the unincorporated external territory of Neu-Cronqvist Land in Borelia and the southernmost being Los Island in the Auralian Ocean. In addition, there are three associated and protected states, namely the Infernian viceroyalty of Gaietia in Auralia[c], the Grand Duchy of Totenheim and the Duchy of Neugründen[d]. Angvar is the second-largest country in the world in terms of population, with a population exceeding 1.15 billion people, 40.81% of which are Angvarians by ethnicity. Mordegard is the country's capital and largest city as well as a worldwide cultural and economic centre, harboring a metropolitan area population of 220.8 residents, followed by other major cities as Sankt-Nimuesburg, Valenborg, Drestholm, Balzhed, Núrndorf, Skarbolg, Altbruck, Hexentreffen, Lestatshafen and Mordehelm.
The continent upon which most of the territory of mainland Angvar is situated has been inhabited since prehistoric inhabitants; its earliest inhabitants, referred to as the Wendol in early medieval texts, resided approximately 36,900 years ago before the Ungolic peoples migrated from northeastern Seria to the Hyborian part of the continent. The Iron Horde, a confederacy of Ungolic clans that gave Angvar its name, displaced the wendol in a series of conquests before permanently settling in the fertile basin of the Iral River in the Great Cisudelian Meadows, giving rise to petty chiefdoms between c. 8100 and 3300 BCE. The region was known to the ancient Hyborians at that time as a key centre of a Hyborian-influenced culture, and may have even survived the decline of their civilization from the early Neolithic period on. It was also attested by Archaic Argosians that settled the Obrisian coastline during the period of the 8th–5th centuries BCE, following which the Aurean Empire conquered and annexed parts of it in 38 BCE, thereby ensuing the acculturation of most of its population as well as the relegation of the Iron Horde into the northern hinterlands after their defeat in 33 BCE. The withdrawal of Aurean imperial military authority from the region enabled the influx of non-Aurean peoples and the formation of a breakaway kingdom known as Tervania in 335 CE, following which, having scarcely persisted in the mass onset of the Wendol incursions into Hyboria by the late 5th century CE, the Ungols re-emerged as a recognizable people once again in Cimmeria and Eastern Hyboria as they were tens of thousands of years ago. Moments following the destruction and fall of the Tervanian Kingdom, internecine squabblings between war chiefs brought the re-unified Iron Horde in the brink of disintegration into warring chiefdoms again until it ceased to exist as a polity in 525 CE.
By 600 CE, numerous kingdoms, succeeding and/or displacing earlier chiefdoms, emerged and proliferated across Hyborian Cimmeria under the High Kingdom of Dúrnhelm, formed from the remainder of the former Tervanian Kingdom from the late 7th century. Keanuism was introduced in the 8th century with the conversion of the High King under the auspices of the Catheric and Heterodox churches. The Duchy of Angvar was founded in 969 CE by a hitherto politically less-significant clan in the Lower Iral Basin, after consolidating the surrounding clans.
