Nomadic Times (3700-1500 BC[before Cadreium])
Back in early time the Catoalan state was originally a bunch of nomadic Catoal tribes that all worshiped Lysundra their deity goddess and their creator. These ten tribes


 * 1) The Wandere (Wanderers): The Catoal known for their restless spirits and their affinity for exploring uncharted lands. They had vast knowledge of many different distant lands long forgotten to time and history.
 * 2) The Wendara (Windy Spirits) : These Catoal follow the winds, seeking hidden knowledge and ancient secrets. They were profound archers and mastered the art of Landar or gliding.
 * 3) The Sanoris (Sand Catoal): These Catoal were Masters of desert survival, they traverse vast dunes in search of oases and forgotten ruins and their knowledge within.
 * 4) The Lundrya (Moonlit): A Cult of Catoal Lysundra Loyalist that used moonlight that guides their nocturnal journeys. They preached the words and stories of Lysundra and acted as a pre faith church of sorts.
 * 5) The Dreweari (Dream Walkers): Storytellers and visionaries who weave tales around campfires under star-studded skies. They were profound in their ways of shifting and the traversal of Felinor.
 * 6) The Emfor (Ones who walk on fire): Their footsteps are said to leave glowing embers on the earth, symbolizing their eternal connection to the land.
 * 7) The Dearin (Deaf Catoal): Known for their heightened senses besides their lack of hearing, Communicating through gestures, they move stealthily across rugged landscapes.
 * 8) The Sanlo (Ones who own the sky): These Catoal were said to ride giant mythical beasts, soaring above mountain peaks and storm clouds. Said to live on the mountain tops of all the mountains in the world.
 * 9) The Miain (Misty ones): Catoal who wandered in between the mist and fog
 * 10) The Sulfiri (Sun Scorched): Their campfires burn with an otherworldly intensity, drawing travelers from afar. They were said to have great tales and were well known for their merchantry.

First Kingdoms (1500-0BC)
On the rare blue moon two tribes came together, The Sulfiri and The Lundrya, These two tribes would be merged with the marriage of their heirs and settle into what is now known as the Le Purna region with its capital of Mork; this small kingdom would leave the stepping stones for modern Catoal society and would mark the first settlement of the Catoal. The small kingdom was ahead of its neighbors in technological advancement and knowledge gathering from their days as the tribes at a cost. They lacked the civilized culture like the surrounding kingdoms from their tribal days. This caused the surrounding kingdoms to belittle the Catoal and call them barbarians. Leading to the first purge or wars against this new kingdom. The Catoal who are more knowledge driven weren’t ready for war leading to the creation of the first Catoalan military and training in the combat arts something that was relatively unknown to the Catoal. This was the first step of the Catoal fighting back against these purges which had devastated villages and cities. The Kingdom put out a call for aid in their time of need and with great losses three clans would answer the call for arms The Dearin, The Sanlo, and The Wandere. The Wandere who were great travelers spoke of a race of feline creatures similar to the Catoal they called The Zheivara, a race of noble warriors who traded training in their combat arts for knowledge the Wandere had. The Wandere would train this art to the other clans of the kingdom and the strength of the Catoal grew. This newfound strength would allow the Catoal to repel the purges completely even turning into Catoalan offensives and great pushes around the area. Eventually this new found era of peace and stability given to the Catoal under the leadership of King Teasal would lead to the call for all Catoal to come under the banner. The call was answered and the Cadreium was formed, a mighty state full of culture, a powerful military, and strong economy, a true superpower of the region.
