Naan

Prehistory
Long before history tracks back to, the lands of what is now Naan were the polar opposite of its current state, with several separate tribes all competing for power and dominance in the region. One group in particular, known as the Branwen, were on a particularly poor stretch. Sabotaging of harvests from rival tribes and an eventual loss by the hands of a coalition assembled by surrounding tribes left the lands of the Branwen split between several states. Through the next generations, these lands were characterized by the ruthlessness in which all other tribes ruled over them with.

As described in legends passed down from generation to generation within Naan, the leader of the Branwen tribe, escaping the fate that awaited much of their company within the leadership, found themselves stranded miles away from any and all civilization. Realizing just how clouded their vision of how the people would survive had become, they made a sacrifice - vision on the physical plane for true and unparalleled vision on the mental plane. Stories say that this newly acquired sense was enough to guide a gathering of the remaining peoples of Branwen together and finally topple their overlords.

Early History
While written accounts the fall and rebirth of the Branwen tribe elude scholars, their trip for revenge most certainly does not. Not much is known about the specifics of the atrocities committed as equal revenge to what happened under initial occupation, but a main reason being the excessive bloodstains on many reliable primary sources gives enough of a consensus for most historians.

It is well known by commoners and scholars alike that one of the first of these people originating from Ratham, the now-renowned Vizier (second-in-command) of Naan, took part and lead many defenses and counteroffensives on the southern border. This man was the then-obscure Vitres, often dubbed 'the Modernizer' or ‘the Nuclear Option’, of the Ansolearii tribe, a charismatic speaker who made his way into the pocket of favorites of the Palatine by introducing Ratham's defense strategies to the armies of Naan. The ambition and confidence in his actions amongst the Rathamite colonizers combined with the ease in which he was able to assemble an army for the grand counteroffensive were enough to comfortably secure a place within the upper echelons of Naan. Integrated, yet unbroken. Our people remain fiercely independent regarding their faith and practices, for we are proud to be Vědanicans and Children of Diena.
