History

Daistallia was first established in the southern reaches of the region of Alpineholm.

Daistallia was settled in three major waves. The first wave of settlement occurred roughly 1200 years ago. The second and third waves occurred almost simultaneously, 500 years after the first wave.

The first wave consisted of Nepalese, Bhutanese, and especially Tibetians. These settlers made their home high in a range of mountains which are Himalayan in nature. These people became known as the Whilan. The Whilan are a minority in Daistallia today. However, they continue to have a significant influence mainstream Daistallian culture, especially in religion and language.

The second wave consisted of German, Austrian, Swiss, and Italians, all from the Alpine regions of those countries. They originally arrived as mercenaries seeking their fortune. The first and largest of the mercenary companies was the Stal Company. These people derive their name, Stalli, from that first mercenary company. They settled in an area which resembles their native Switzerland.

The last wave of settlers consisted of Chinese, a mixture of Southeast Asians (mainly Malay, Vietnamese, and Thai), and Koreans. These people settled in a large deltaic plain. They quickly mixed , becoming one people, the Dai.

After several years Daistallia migrated to the region of Lancre, atop of the world's largest megalith.

A number of years later an unexplained natural disaster known as the White Fog enveloped Daistallia. An as of yet un explained fog bank rolled across the country, cutting off all areas enveloped by it. A number of survivors found themselves transported in time and space to the region known as Greenfields in the year 2104. After a number of years, Daistallia 2104 has managed to emerge as an industrial and economic powerhouse in the region.
