| - In the third millenia BE, Mordusia was settled by immigrants from the north, of Proto-Luthorian. Some centuries after this, the Kingdom known as Pharos, governed from Euphanea rose into prominence. Though “semi-civilized” by foreign standards, the Pharosi had an advanced system of governance, with a High King elected by a Council of of nobles, and deep knowledge of the matters of mathematics and astronomy. Astrology as well as magic was revered among the nobility. In 700 BE, the country was invaded by Proto-Artanians of possibly Dundorfian origin. Through a bloody conflict of pillaging and terrorizing the countryside, the Artanian House of Dungar unified most of today's Mordusia, and the Artanians established themselves an an alien elite in the country. Their rule would not last forever, however. In the fourth century BE, native Mordusian cities would start refusing to pay taxes to the Artanian rulers, eventually resulting in civil war. The Artanians was driven back to northernmost Sayoon. The result was a lose confederacy of Mordusian tribes known as Talac Anor, united by their resistance against the alien Artanian forces. Centuries after, another treat to the Mordusian way of life rose with the rise of an unified Aldurian force to the south. Largely to internal strife among the Mordusian nobility, large parts of Mordusia would be conquered by Aldurian warlords, the population enslaved and otherwise not treated with dignity.
