A Comprehensive Study on Bardonian Culture

= A Comprehensive Study on Bardonian Culture = By Nasayu Eaglemore, former Lord of Annunor and Mayor of Yuzhen.

About the Study of Bardonian Culture.
Bardonia has always suffered from a lack of identity, be it for lack of authentic historical research or a lack of interest on the past ages. This has caused an internal division and the constant seeking of a national identity by artificial means. I, Nasayu, have always been an advocate for the traditional ways of life of the Bardonian people, and have always been against the adoption of foreign cultures. Because of this, I'm writing this book, that aims to help the Bardonian citizen understand the meaning of his nation's past, so he can better adopt its cultural expressions.

I'm not the first person who delves into the study of Bardonian culture. Nor will I be the last. Centuries before, the wise men of Trost have studied with care the origins of the bardonian man and of its early cultural expressions. Also, the priests at New Dorasterrock and Doraserrock have libraries explaining the traditions and rituals of the now decaying Dandelist Religion. Sadly, most of the holy books of Dandelism were lost during the destruction and sacking of Bardonia City during the war against Daelyria.

It is important to understand that all the bardonian cultures, from past to present, are equally important in the study of the nation's cultural identity. They have equally shaped Bardonia's landscape to convert a humble land of forests into a cultural center between two continents.

The study of Bardonian culture can be divided into six important periods of developement. It is important to say, that some of this culture existed way before Bardonia was a nation. The periods are: Prehistoric Bardonia, The Iron Age, Preclassical City-States, Early Bardonia, Classical Bardonia,  and Feudal Bardonia.
