History

The first organized settlement in what is now Vephrall was founded by local tribesman Diindohtis Viivryl. The settlement, which at first consisted of just a few small houses, was given the name Myza. Over the course of some seven hundred years, the descendants of the first inhabitants of Myza explored their landmass, discovering other tribes in the surrounding areas. Some of the most important tribes in the area included:

• the Lobarik tribe, west of Myza (main settlement Elola)
• the Entruuga tribe, east of Myza (main settlement Flaarrikku). Diindohtis Viivryl was himself Entruuga, but had been cast out of the tribe six years prior to the founding of Myza.
• the Eklotaktik tribe, northwest of Myza (main settlement Uni)
• the Rasbih tribe, east of the Entruuga (main settlement Spe-grih)
• the Iti tribe, southwest of Myza (main settlement Svektra)

The Viivra, as the inhabitants of Myza and the surrounding area were now called, lived in peace with these five tribes for nearly 700 years. Conflict finally came to the area in 679 when Lobarik leader Gunsig Kritunis became jealous of a large gold reserve in Eklotaktik land to the north. Kritunis was successfully able to pressure Viivra leader Bes Roness into an alliance against the Eklotaktiks. While the Lobarik tribe would have almost certainly been unable to invade Eklotaktik territory alone, help from the somewhat reluctant Viivra was enough to overwhelm the opposition. Eklotaktik main settlement Uni fell to the combined forces on 28 Tilep 686. Unfortunately, neither of the invading forces would allow the city to be ruled by the other. As a result, the Lobariks turned on their Viivra allies. The Second Battle of Uni was relatively brief by the standards of the period, and by 18 Figix of that same year the Viivra forces had been driven out of former Eklotaktik land all the way back to Myza. Defense of the Viivra capital was, by all accounts, rather weak, likely because the populace had never approved of the war in the first place. Myza fell on 11 Breceurs 688, after a lengthy siege. The war had gone much better than expected for Kritunis, as his army had conquered not only the Eklotaktiks, but the Viivra as well. Uni was renamed Junhī by the victorious Lobariks, and Myza became Mēz.

The people of Mēz were very unhappy under the oppressive Lobarik rule. But for many years, any attempts at resistance were very quickly crushed by one of the many tyrannical Lobarik rulers. However, the royal lineage began to weaken in the early 10th century, and a rebellious soldier from Mēz named Kilstim Sikanūt decided to take the opportunity to attempt to free his people from the Lobariks. Successfully gathering a force of nearly 120,000 men, Sikanūt marched westward directly to Elola. His army stopped about sixteen kilometers short of the city, and Sikanūt then proceeded to send a group of just five soldiers into the city. Such a small force was not noticed, and they were able to gain entry to Elola very easily. These soldiers were able to infiltrate the local defense force and sneak into the king's castle, where they assassinated the Lobarik leader. Without leadership, all of Elola went into a panic, and the remainder of Sikanūt's force was able to conquer the city with little resistance. Sikanūt proclaimed that the city of Elola would now be known as Sikanūstim in honor of himself, and Mēz was renamed to Mīs-ha, a more modernized spelling of its original name.

The new Vēv nation lived in peace for several centuries, but disaster struck in 1484 when a plague overtook the land, wiping out over eighty percent of the population over the course of fifteen years. The cities were abandoned, and all civilization in the area seemed to be lost. Eventually, on 9 Breceurs 1592, the city of Meice was founded on the old site of Myza, and the nation of Vephrall (from Middle Vephra Vēv-rell, "Vēv union") was established.

Calendar

The Vephrese calendar consists of thirteen months (penchaat), all of which have 28 days except for the final month, which has 29. Numbering of years counts back to the founding of Myza. Unlike many other calendars, the Vephrese calendar does have a year zero (the year in which Myza was founded).

Years prior to zero are generally suffixed with "TM" (tregle-Myza "before Myza"). Sometimes years after zero are suffixed with "RM" (rone-Myza "after Myza"), but this is a fairly uncommon practice.

The calendar is based on the Entruuga calendar, which had 26 priirue of fourteen days each and one additional day that stood on its own. Each set of two priirue were combined into a pencha, and the final independent day was merged into the thirteenth pencha.

Language

The modern Vephra language vaguely resembles the language spoken by the Entruuga in the tribal ages, but is also strongly influenced by the language of the Lobariks.

To pluralize a noun:

• If it ends in y, simply add t.
• If it ends in a vowel other than y, double that vowel and add t.
  • If it ends in a vowel that is already doubled, just add t.
• If it ends in a consonant, double that consonant and add et.
  • If it ends in a consonant that is already doubled, just add et.

To transform a noun into an adjective, the general rule is to add er. In some words, letters at the end may be dropped prior to the suffix; alternatively, ending consonants might be doubled. A few words even involve vowel changes. There are no hard and fast rules regarding this; it is all done on a word-by-word basis.

Sports

As in many other Atlantian Oceania nations, football is one of the most popular sports in Vephrall. The first major competition, the Vephraller Kustriin e Foutbill (VKF, "Vephrese Cup of Football") first took place in 1595 as a competition between clubs formed in the nation's first five cities. As more cities and football clubs sprang up, the need for organization became apparent, and in 1607 the Vephraller Foutbiller Restritris (VFR, "Vephrese Football Association") was formed to oversee the sport. The first annual league competition, the Vephraller Tririsec e Foutbill (VTF, "Vephrese League of Football") began play in 1610 with fourteen member clubs.
