As a land, Starblaydia has always been populated in one form or another, from simple prehistoric tribesmen through thundering Medieval warlords up to the high-tech, stylish and modern present day. Starblaydia's ancient history is reflected in the culture of today, from politics to sport and everything in between. The nation itself, however, was only designated as 'Starblaydia' from the 19th Century on as an Imperial colony, but soon it emerged as from under that veil and took its first steps on the road to becoming a world power.

Prehistory

10,000 - 1,000 BC

In the earliest days of its history, Starblaydi historians, scientists and archaeologists have gelaned that the simple 'Urjal' people were the most significant tribe, making simple but intricate pottery and manipluating bronze for simple sword- and spear-type weapons. For thousands of years these people lived on the Starblaydi plains across the nation in various clans. They hunted and fished and occasionally made war on each other, but the greatest achievement that would be felt throughout history was that the Urjal tribes learned to tame and ride Horses, something that would echo down the ages in Starblaydi culture. They also constructed burial mounds (known as 'Barrows') for their honoured dead, burying their fallen warriors with ceremonial swords.

Seaside northern tribes began to construct barges and ships, crewed vessels for fishing and transport up and down coastlines
