History of East Ying

East Ying has a long history, dating back to the early days of the world. Consisting of a few. 'eras', East Ying's history is an exciting one.

Early Ages 1000 BYY - 1 BYY

This time period is considered by some to be the birthplace of the Yingonite society. The land of Han has yet to be settled, and the native Yingonites, seasonal nomads, have not settled down yet. In the far north, outside of Han, farther north than what the Yingonite elders call 'the circle of the world', is the land of Derbaun. Derbaun, a rich colonizer, has been sailing ships southbound for hundreds of years, and are the rulers of many places. In a port of a country, they learned rumors of the Yingonite civilization. The Derbahks sailed southward until they reached the [1]Bay of pearls. The Derbahk claimed the land as their own, and began a settlement in the west of the bay. The settlement was named Kalo-Han[2]. Kalo-Han represented the unity of the two worlds, The Derbahk world, and the Yingonite world, although at this time, they were named Hanonites. Kalo, is the Derbahk word for earth, correctly translated, it would mean Wet Soil.

Anti-Nomadization

Conflict

The First recorded meeting between a Hanonite and a Derbahk was in 1002 BYY, during the expedition of Naka the III. In aincient scripts, it describes the Yingonites as: Cautious, defensive, uncivilized. Naka, showed the Hanonites the art of carpentry, and ferried a tribe to Kalo-Han to help civilize the Hanonites so that the two cultures could better mix. The Scribes then describe the people of Han as attacking the Villagers and destroying the city. Naka, showed that houses were okay. The scribes do not describe the events further except that it says that Naka assisted the Hanonites in building a small hut. Naka returned to Derbahk the next month.

First Settlements

The Hanonites created their first true settlement in the mountains of Hag-Ki, along the river of Hag-Ki. The settlement, assisted by Derbahk missionaries, settled down the tribe of Sut. In the south, the township of Hark was also being settled, whilst the tribe of Chan settled around the Bay of Pearls.

Early Governments

Now, later in the early stages, with a common language and writing being quickly developed, the people of Waka, a minor tribe suggested a small governing body, ruled by the king of Derbaun, but keeping the ability to make laws for the Hanonites and be the advisor to the king on his decisions on Han. The government, dubbed Four Corners Summit, by Linyo Shaan, was a organized gathering of all the major tribes in the center of Han, in the growing town of Chan City. The first meeting, held in 210 BYY, was attended by all major tribes, or Allianzs. The Allianzs at this time were (From Most powerful to least):

Gu Sut Hag-Ki Yïïk Chan Ying Yang Kalkos.

The meeting decided that the country, still at this time called Han, should be named in honor of Naka III. The country was renamed Nakashagi.

The Yiik Wars

In 100 BYY, the tribe of Yiik invaded Hag-Ki, Sut, Chan, and Gu. Having risen to the top of the nation's power since the Four Corners meeting, the Yiik wanted to become the most powerful tribe, or province. They easily destroyed the other tribes, and re-named themselves the Province of Sukara. Looking to destroy Kalkos, they moved their armies westward, but they would have to move through the Yingonite territory. The Yingonites, commanded by Linyo Shaan IV retaliated and fought against the huge armies of Sukara. The Sukarians were brutally defeated by Linyo and his people. The Yingonites demanded that a Four Corners meeting be held. In the meeting, they lowered the number of Provinces, renaming them Grand Nakkas. The Grand Nakkas were:

Yiik Minor Yang Ying Chan Gu.

In the following years, Yiik Minor was given to the Chan, and Gu was given to the Chan. The Chan, seeming to powerful, were forced to give their power to the Yangonites and Yingonites.

Rebellion Stewing

With the death of Naka III, the Hanonites did not want to be part of the Derbahk anymore. Linyo Ying, the Head of the Grand Nakka of Ying, stirred up the army, and began to build huge ships.
