History

The history of Talusi stretches thousands of years, to when people first inhabited the area, to modern-day.

Ancient Talusi

Ancient Talusi covers the time from when people first inhabited the land thousands of years ago, to when the Kingdoms of Taluniko fell.

Early Inhabitants

Archaeological records show that Talusi was first inhabited around 10,000 years ago, or around 8000 BC. At first, the area was dominated by hunter-gatherer societies. Then, around 7000 BC, agrarian society began to become the dominant way of getting food. Around the coast, large scale fishing also began to become viable. For the next few thousand years, various early tribes rose and fell. Around 2000 BC according to archaeological evidence, the first notable tribes rose in western Talusi. These tribes were known collectively as the Tulako.

Early Settlements and Civilizations

Around 2000 BC, the Tulako people began to rise. They were the first historically significant tribes in Talusi. According to archaeological evidence, the Tulako were spread all over the western Talusi coast. Over the next thousand years, the Tulako began to spread across Talusi. Over time, the Tulako dominated various other peoples, such as the Ralpanur, the Talukanoki, and the Dremalti. Over time, larger groups of people began to gather and form larger settlements. The first large-scale settlement in Talusi to have been found as of now is known as Saalnau, and according to archaeological evidence, is around 2700 years old. Saalnau is located in southern Talusi and is known as the first city in Talusi. The city seemed to be the capital of a civilization now known as Rakluntania. This civilization spanned most of southern Talusi and even part of northeastern Hausberg. Around 500 BC, Rakluntania fell to an unknown enemy and Saalnau was abandoned. About 200 years later, another civilization rose known as the Denonert. This civilization occupied most of the Talusian north coast. In 157 BC, the Denonert came into conflict with another civilization known as the Taluniko. In 154 BC, The Taluniko were able to conquer the Denonert due to their better weaponry.

The Kingdoms of Taluniko

In 154 BC with the conquest of the Denonert, The Taluniko people, who are said to have been descendants of the Tulako people, established their own kingdoms. Over hundreds of years, the Taluniko people spread across Talusi, conquering and assimilating. By 479 AD, the Taluniko people had conquered all of Talusi. For the next 300 years, various kingdoms rose and fell. In 783 AD, incursions from south of the Taluniko kingdoms began to occur. Within 10 years, these incursions began to become full-scale invasions from the south. These invaders, known as the Reiktic, invaded the southern Taluniko kingdoms across the modern Hausberg-Talusi border and the western Taluniko kingdoms by crossing the Bay of Reiktic. The kingdoms easily fell to the new invaders at first. Then, the northern and eastern kingdoms banded together in order to repel the invaders. It worked, for a time. The Reiktic invaders were held at a stand-still for over 20 years. However, more and more Reiktic people began moving into the new Reiktic kingdoms, allowing them to amass larger armies. By 821 AD, the Reiktic kingdoms struck again. This time, the remaining Taluniko kingdoms were unable to hold the invaders back. In 834 AD, the last of the Taluniko kingdoms fell. Talusi was now under the control of the Reiktic kingdoms, who would rule for hundreds of years.

Modern Talusi

Modern Talusi covers the time from when the Reiktic kingdoms took over Talusi, to modern day.

The Reiktic Kingdoms

In 834 AD, the last Talunikonian kingdom fell to the Reiktic invaders. With full control over the native Talunikonian people established, the Reiktic kings ruled with an iron fist. The Talunikonian language was banned, the people's native customs were banned, and they were forced to follow Reiktian customs and learn the Reiktic language. For hundreds of years, new kingdoms rose and fell, rebellions failed, and the Talunikonians were oppresed. The assimilation of the Talunikonians nearly succeeded. However, there were groups of Talunikonians that were able to escape the oppression by fleeing into the wilderness outside of the kingdoms. In 2392 AD, over 450 years after the last of the kingdoms of Taluniko fell, one kingdom began to rise above the rest. This kingdom, known as Legerralia, was situated in western Talusi. Within five years, it conquered the kingdoms immediately surround it. However, the kingdoms beyond that, were not so easy to conquer. It took over 33 years to conquer the rest of Talusi. In 1337 AD, Talusi was finally unified under the Kingdom of Legerralia. However, the kingdom had more things to worry about outside of their borders.
