History

Founding

In the beginning Riegab was just comprised a humble little fishing village on the Morza sound, this village was Ethnemka. Over the years it began to flurish with life, soon the city was growing to small to house all of it's inhabitants. To remedy this many brave Riegabans sailed into what they thought to be an abyss. They would land on the island we would call Thrasea , they founded the great city of Eutko. This was the beginning of a great land boom, in which the borders were expanded to their current borders.

Later Happenings

Later in the time explorers from Anatania came, they took over power by killing the oppressive Emperor Shlotsnok (meaning "The Devine Ruler"). The Riegabans were very exalted by this. For many, many years the Riegabans were ruled without much dislike for Anatania, but as time came into a new age, the younger Riegabans were looking for some self identity, they overthrew the Anatanian government in the region and established their own government. The Anatanians though were not to angry, this is because for a long time Riegab was seen as a nuisence, so now finnaly they were gone. Also not really dealing with history but equally notable, the development of Riegab's own calendar, known as the Riegaban Year, more can be learned about it at the main page.
