History and Origins

Nomads of the east

On the great steppes of the Nieden continent, a group of nomadic tribes formed a clan by the name “Bast '' with no definitive borders the people of the clan Bast travelled great lengths for land suitable for pasture. The beliefs and cultures of the people of Bast is not known but it is speculated that they believed in a form of animism praying to great tree stumps for wisdom. After 300 years of searching for pasture land and domesticating sheeps the Bast clan was finally dissolved from internal fighting and a zoonotic disease that killed many herds of sheep and tribe members.

From the dissolution of the Bast clan rose another group which was made up of Northern Nideans and members of the now dissolved Bast clan the Bastonians. From the tongues of the northern Nideans the ways of agriculture was taught and thus began a new chapter. On the southern tip of modern day Simulami stood stone behemoths covering and protecting the citizens of Bastonia. With influence from the northern Nideans the proto-Bastonians decided it was worthwhile to invest in wheat farming and for this to work they had to abandon their old nomadic pastoral ways and settle down. The Bastonians grew a variety of crops such as wheat, carrot, and potatoes yet their ancestor’s legacy lives in their big lamb herds. A great city was built from the ground called “Bastonia”. Central Kastollia was the place that made the most sense for its geography was similar to that of Bastonia with hilly mountain sides

True natives
The origins of Atollia and Kais Adonia are more mysterious and less documented than that of Stonia but we do know that most of them were natives of Western Nieden.
