Pontaniedian

The pontaniedians are a culture taking their heritage in the lands of southern Nieden. They can trace their heritage from the Pontani Valley, back to the time when Yimmy-Audal existed. They lived in nomadic huts and moved around from place to place, but a semi-permenant camp existed in the Pontani Valley, known as Postrum.

The Pre migration period
The tribe started with the founder When Julius Pontinne, Son of Pontinne Octavian, entered into the Valley with his people. The people settled down in Postrum and some migrated around the main camp. After 34 years of rule, when Julius died of old age, Tiberius Pontinne took over from his father as the clan leader, but he only controlled the tribe for 5 years before dying himself of a minor disease. After his death,

Antony took leadership of the tribe. Antony was very ruthless and more restrict than the previous leaders, leading to his popularity being very low. After on year, a tribes member named Tulane Vernaius, challenged him for the leadership. Tulane and Antony dueled for the leadership, but in the end Tulane won leading to the tribe leadership being out of the Pontinne families grasp.

To the tribes people Tulane was just as bad as Antony, maybe even far worse. After just 1 year, people where angry and tired of bad leaders. It was then that Tiberius other son, Nero Pontinne, came and gather most of the veterans and declared war on Tulane. Tulane, realizing he is fighting a losing the war, fled east never to be seen again. Nero took the title as chief of the Tribe, bringing the Pontinne family back.

Nero would start to bring back the good old days of Julius and Tiberius, which made people more happier with the tribe leadership again, restoring faith in the tribal government. After 4 years of Nero's rule, a letter appear to Nero, from an unknown nation nearby, telling them to join their Nation or be exterminated. Nero decided to try and fight back against the nation, But the nation overwhelmed their armies and destroyed the tribal army. As soon as Nero was defeated, he was executed on the spot by the victors. Postrum was unceremoniously sacked and razed on the same day, scattering the tribe members.

The Great Migration Period
The tribes 4 main families where split apart and scattered all across the Rathnir in search of a new life.
