History of Toopoxia

The History of Toopoxia is split into two sections, both the creation of the ancient Volitaian civilisation and in the plight of the Lunians who both later became the modern Toopoxican civilisation

Pre-Dynasty Volitaia

Archeological evidence records a civilisation of highly advanced farmers being replaced by a hunter gatherer civilisation at around 10000 BC, the evidence reveals an early form of the sickle and other stone tools, in this time the Volitaian Desert was a rich farming land, however, possibly due to overgrazing, this farming land slowly became desiccated and formed what was called the Volitaian Desert in around 2500 BC, naturally the farming civilisation moved to the Volitaia River to continue farming in what was now a far more arable land.

Scholars have continously changed the views on Ancient Volitaia several times depending on the archeological evidence, many agree that the Nomadic time ended at around 6000 BC when evidence shows that people were constructing large permanant buildings and beggining to herd cattle, before the Desert had formed, the south western corner of Volitaia had become a booming center of civilisation, which as mentioned before slowly dissolved and fled to the Volitaia river.

Those who did not flee to the safety of the Nile migrated hoping to find fertile lands in other areas of the region, these settlers founded many of the modern neighbours of Toopoxia and assisted in the creation of many thousands of other civilisations.

Early Dynasty Volitaia

No-one can agree on a specific date of when the Volitaian dynasty came to power, most agree that it happened at around 3100 BC, at around the same time the Volitaian River villages merged into one power ruled in the city of Naibe, interesting to note that this city was originally called Volitaia, the name Volitaia also originated at this time, it is known that this name originates from the King known as Ak-Voli, Volitaia means "Peoples [belonging to] Voli"

The Volitaian state made an expansion which is well known due to its coinciding with the invention of writing, the borders expanded up to the Regi Luni Mountains in the East, Lake Luni in the South, Volitaian Sea in the East and what is now modern Hydac in the North.

Third Dynasty

Due to its unique position in the world Volitaia became a highly defendable state, after several defensive wars with neighbouring nations, which all failed, the nation turned its attention towards peace and trading, in this time of cultural expansion the civilisation built many temples and monuments which have become popular tourist attractions to this date.
