Weep, Mother.
First off, I decided to change the name from Aned'l to J'von (Ja Von). Nothing major.
Far to the north of the cradle of civilization a new, complex society formed around the Aemi river valley. Situated far to the north at the opening of the Aemi river into the Shav'rin (the large lake), the society formed with no outside interfernce. Because of this, Javan customs and beliefs differ from their southern counterparts in most ways.
Tribes first settled down into the area roughly between 200 H.C (Hurrian Calendar) to 400 H.C. The tribes formed small city-states along the river and began to slowly communicate with each other. These early cities relied mainly upon large hunting parties to provide food for their people. Men mainly hunted the large populations of elk, and to an extent, the lions* that preyed upon them.
No one knows when exactly the tribes began to fish from the Aemi, but what is known that fishing caused a revolution compared to the agricultural one of the south. Within some fifty years after fishing first took place the major hunting parties disappeared and it took over as the major food source. The Aemi has one of the largest populations of fish in Neseria, and the tribes took advantage of it. By the year 550 H.C nets were employed, the cities had exploded in size, and immportant devolpments began to occur.
The first actual city was "Von", devolping around the year 600 H.C. The first "culturity" of the people was the strong belief in monarchy. One man ruled over the Von and his rule went without opposition. Under the Ivor, the king of the Von, the city first took up arms and conquored many of the other cities.
However an alliance led by the present-day capital of Sam'mer and Fredda-Synch proved to be too much for the Von. Sam'mer, located directly around the opening of the Aemi into Shav'rin, and Fredda-Don, a city further up the river that was composed of two "cities" on opposite banks, joined together after the war in an attempt to provide control over the region after Von was destroyed.
Major changes occured between the years of 600-700 H.C. The first alaphabet was devolped, a system of 28 lines that originally stood for diffrent types of animals. The people began to "farm" fish, digging extensive canals through the cities and populated them with the fish. Pottery was first cast from the muds along the river, and for the first time a variant of wheat was grown outside the city.
The results of these devolpments would revolutionize J'von into a complete nation. The alliance led by Sam'mer and Fredda-Synch would eventually fall apart due to competing kings. Around 750 H.C a king came into power in Sam'mer who could be called the ofunder of the nation. Brin, as he was called, set up the first legal system for the cities and cemented his control over the lower cities through diplomacy, war, and marriage; he installed many of his supporters into ruling positions of the cities.
The king of Fredda-Synch, the largest city in the north, began to fear the power of Sam'mer. The king, known as Farus, likened the new Sam'mer to the Von of old and was determined to stop the city before it could grow any larger. So Farus organized another alliance against Brin and set about destroying Sam'mer.
However, Brin wasn't idle when Farus was organizing his campaign. He demanded soldiers from all his subordienants and set about creating the largest army in the short history. The two alliances would meet in battle at a small valley called Tu'Chank. Sam'mer possed an army made up of mainly archers with a few spearmen to the front. Fredda-Synch, whose king thought bows were beneath them, fielded mainly spearmen. The resulting battle was disatrous for Fredda-Synch and in the year 800 H.C the city was razed completly.
Brin died quite soon after his victory over Fredda-Synch and his son Usayus took over. Fearful of another alliance to destroy Sam'mer, Usayus demoted all other kings into govenors and made them swear an oath of loyalty to him. He then expanded the legal system to much of the north and declared himself king of the entire region. Thus Ja Von was born.

History of early J'von
-"The best fish are in the most troubled waters."- J'von saying.Far to the north of the cradle of civilization a new, complex society formed around the Aemi river valley.

im suffering from writers block. I am having lots of trouble writing the last parts, and so for the spirit of the game i am just posting these small tidbits of the different nations. sorry for the lack of quality and amount, I hope to make it up later.
NOw please send orders...BT orders. For those not founded yet, hopefully you will next turn
On the mainland southwest of the Khadoni lies a tangled mess of small states and rugged terrain. The small cities of the Araqi Mountains prided themselves as being the civilized beacons of the otherwise barbaric countryside. The cities themselves developed unique and prevalent cultures, each separate societies evolving at the same time.
The Araqi region soon became the place of intercity trade and wars by 500. Each city was near equal strength, making the common wars useless for any territorial gain. It wasn’t until the city of Qanzi’s leader had a vision, one that put his nation named Xianhua as the supreme ruler of all cities of Araqi. Through stunning victories and a powerful economy, the King, Chi Tan established the first multi-city empire of Araqi, stretching to the sea in the north, and the firs to make contact with the Khadoni island people. With contact brought even more trade.
Through opposition soon rose out of the remaining free cities. Many in the west formed a coalition, their own multi-city empire that came to resist the new Xianhua kingdom. Timinin Kingdom, a kingdom of rather small cities but much more agriculturally successful states, was the result of this loose unity.
When war came between the Khadoni-backed Thou Republic and the Xianhua kingdom, the Timinin Kingdom was quick to declare neutrality. This war was by far the largest war on the battle-hardened continent, consuming thousands of soldiers’ lives. When the end came, the Xianhua had only made a few incursions into the Thou Republic, gaining little land but still left with a Khadoni puppet state as a neighbor.
****************************
Meanwhile the southern part of the continent was also seeing its own period of bloodshed. The ages-old empire of Manticorus, a highly forested civilization, embarked on its own empire building, gobbling up every civilized nation that surrounded them.
****************************
The Lucan empire began the same way as everyone else did….*sigh*. Started small and then expanded, had many enemies, conquered them. The highly militant people, however, could not conquer their northern neighbors, a band of barbarians who constantly ravage the border towns and villages. The Banamins to their south are also hard-fought enemies, their armies matching the mighty Lucan’s. To the northwest, the Demians are also enemies, but are for the most part isolated.
****************************
Meanwhile, in the far reaches of the uncivilized world, the Weyland tribes begin their first steps towards a united civilization with the current reduction of many tribes in the region as they combine to become larger, more successful tribes.
BTW, stats will be updated tomorrow.
