National history:Back in the middle ages, The Arengin region was no more than grasslands, woods, and mountain ranges. It was when colonists from the the northern and eastern regions decided to settle in the year 1078 when the Arengin culture was born. It was all simply a mix of small camps and settlements that dominated the region. In 1127 many different tribes, and settlements joined together to make the kingdom of Aren, named after their leader King Aren Glad.
After the Aren kingdom was declared it became a time of prosperity and peace, until the day the Aydiniran expeditions began to enter Aren territory in the Urus mountains. This would be the first contact between the two civilizations and would mark a decisive confrontation between the two.
For the people of Arengin this era was known as the Age of Iron, since for years now the region had enjoyed its near endless iron and gold mines. The people of both kingdoms couldn't communicate with each other and eventually some confrontations came to occur. Not wanting to start a war King Ulir went on to meet with the Mazdarani himself. During the meeting with the commander both sides used Romulan language to communicate as well as their own translaters who tried to decipher each others languages. This resulted in trouble since King Ulir demanded to meet King Ravas in person the young commanders became offended by the king's demand and both began insulting each other, with the translaters not helping much to the situation.
Eventually the young commander, who's name was Arźan Ćandrashif, proclaimed that she would conquer these lands and get rid of the barbaric pest that were the Aren people. King Ulir then warned that either the invaders leave by their own will or he would personally remove them. Ulir then left. It is foretold by the Shahinayan people that Ulir made sexist remarks regarding Arźan Ćandrashif's status as a commander being a female, however this rumor is of questionable truth, since Ulir himself had appointed many women in positions of power during his reign.
The Mazdarani expedition had about 6 thousands men (and women), in it about 4 thousands soldiers and 2 thousands settlers, scouts and so on.
So after that beautiful day when both Arźaan and Ulir insulted each other, she decided that some barbaric warchief of some distant and uncivilized land will not threaten them. Mazdarani expedition, having mighty Urus Mountains just before them couldn't enter the very territory of Aren Kingdom. She also ignored barbarian threats and didn't retreated. Instead she set up a camp in a mountain pass and send her scouts to explore this new and unknows lands around Urus Mountains (but rather north from Urus). Knowing that this region is inhabited by barbaric peoples she wanted to know if this region is rich enough to colonize it or not. She wanted also maps of this foreign territories.
After a few weeks, when army of that strange and arrogant people did not retreat and was still camping in the mountain pass and ignoring his words (but they weren't moving deeper inside Arenginian territory), king Ulir decided to fulfill his previous promises. He gathered his warriors and moved to face the enemy.
Arźan was prepared for something like that, she ordered to fortify her camp. When Arenginians came they had numerical superiority but Mazdarani created strong fortification and had much better strategy and tactic (sure, Aren warriors were great warriors but Mazdarani had experience of several thousands years of Aydinirian military tradition).
There was a battle or rather several of them. Arenginians three times tired to break Mazdarani lines and fortifications and three times in bloody battles they were repulsed.
Most battles there would be many loses on both sides. However, the Arenginians would lose more men due to their tactic of trying to overwhelmed rather than using actual tactics.
King Ulir in disbelief observed like his brave warriors are repulsed by this strangers, and couldn't understand why. Then he noticed that each time his men attacked, strangers used a different tactic and differend formation, each one unfamiliar for him and his men.
During the fourth attack kind ordered his men to use tactic which, as he observed, was used by this strangers and their witch-commander. Using a weapon of his enemies against them allowed Arenginians to finally, although with great looses, break enemy lines.
Arźan seeing like this barbarians were breaking her positions and threatening civilians, ordered to retreat. Small Mazdarani expedition suffered much smaller looses than Arenginians, but Mazdarani were far from their homeland and couldn't count for any reinforcements. She ordered to move back to the plains north from Urus Mountains.
As for Arenginians, they suffered heavy losses but king Ulir won and drove out this foreigners. And military tactics he learned from them allowed him to conquer many other tribes and create future might of Aren Kingdom.
Despite King Ulir had managing to drive the invaders back, however he would not allow them to get back unscathed, considering he had lost more than 6,000 men to a force of inferior size. Against the advice's of his pacifist council he followed the Mazdarani and stalked them for weeks until the day came that he could inflict them a blow that would make a statement that the Aren people would not be subjugated.
After ordering her forces to retreat at the overwhelming attack Arźan Ćandrashif was confident that on her return to King Ravan she would persuade him into giving her command of an even bigger army to defeat the Arenginian barbarians and become governor of the new colonized lands. However during her retreat through the Lalonian river, her forces and settlers came across a narrow pass that would lead them to a more direct route to her homeland not having to pass the frozen mountains. She decided to go through the pass. During the odyssey the Mazdarani were ambushed by hundreds of hidden Aren poachers and archers who inflicted heavy casualties from the otehr side of the pass, hidden by the snow. Even made the Mazdarani lose many of their horses and chariots by them falling to their doom.
Ćandrashif in disbelief then lead her people back to the river, however she was ambushed again by the stalking forces of Ulir, who began to mercilessly dispatch every Mazdarani warrior. Ćandrashif herself was wounded but kept leading her people to safety despite the odds. Despite this she would commit a terrible mistake by making her men cross the river to the safety of the mountains exposed. Amidst the chaos a good chunk of her warriors were killed by archers of drowned by the pursuing Aren warriors.
Eventually she was able to get her people to safety, and Ulir having inflicted a clear message decided to leave them to their fate. The night after the battle the Arenginian legend tells that Arźan , devastated by her loses began crying besides an oak tree. By that the mountain pass was renamed the Broken Tears pass. However whether this legend is true is debatable since no one was present when the so called crying began. Arźan was also known for being of strong character and crying was not a thing she often did.
After the battle, Arźan was forced to lead her people back home by leading them through the frozen mountains, despite the suffering she managed to make it back home without losing anymore people. She pleaded King Ravan to give her the men to redeem herself, however King Ravan, being 10 times wiser than the young commander decided to never send anymore expeditions and leave the Aren kingdom alone, showing respect for his counterpart, King Ulir.
During the Battle at the Pass Mazdaniani lost only a few hundreds soldiers and most of their horses, but during the river ambush Arźan lost over 3000, both soldiers and civilians. Despite her ferocity in battle she couldn't change the fate. Barbarian archers and poachers shot from behind the rocks, bushes and trees. And Arenginian horsemen and footmen alike would show no mercy on the invaders. She lost many good men and was wounded herself.
After many months, when she arrived to her homeland and asked for a chance to redeem herself, she asked for 25,000 soldiers (About half of the Mazdaran army) and she would personally bring Ulir's head. He couldn't send half his armies, because his country would be eaten by other city-states. Maybe if he recreated Aydinirian Empire... but it never happened.
King Ravas started to colonize lands which were closer to his domine becoming a king that ruled with justice and for the good the people. It made the rest of kings afraid of him. Eventually Ravas called for all the kings of the Aydiniran states to gather for an assembly to finally reestablish the Aydiniran empire. However, with the help of his own brother the Kings of the other states would assassinate him in cold blood. His last words to his betraying brother, "You... my own kin... you have forsaken me... you've forsaken us all...." Rava's brother would take the crown and become a puppet for the other states, while assuring his people that Ravas was a hero and he would never be forgotten and had battle the barbarians of Arengin, thus setting off a bad name for the Arenginian people in Aydiniran lands.
After they assassinated him, the settlements he created were abandoned.
As for King Ulir, during the ending years of the Age of Iron he would strengthen the Aren armie's to measure at about 60,000 men this is an effort to prepare if the Mazdaran came back. This never happened. Ulir died in 1347 witnessing the Age of Dominion and how his nephew and successor, King Alexei would follow his lead to expand the Aren Kingdom and defeat the Arglorian tribes. For many years however, Ulir would try to contact the Aydiniran people again in order to resolve past grievances, tragically he was never able to find these people or talk with the king. In his dying breath Ulir emphasized to his nephew "Son... don't let the people fall into hatred for them... It is the only..." Ulir was never able to finish his sentence before he passed away at the age of 89. despite Alexei attempts to keep the Aren people from growing bitter towards the Aydiniran people most common person would associate them as invaders and cowards.
This war would seal a deep hatred from both sides for hundreds of years.
For almost 600 years the Aren Kingdom went on to become a prosperous empire that was vast and filled with resources and regions of all. However, it was in the year 1712 that The Kingdom was invaded by the Pretiot Dominion, a mix of different tribes and clans that followed the lead of a man simply known as the Supreme. The invasion began as a victory for the Pretiots, and the Aren Kingdom following the lead of King Jomar the III retreated to the mountains in order to prepare for a the retake of Aren. The war lasted more than 100 years, with both sides claiming major victories and losses. it was finally by 1819 that Prince Davlec led a successful attack on the city of Priog, the last Pretiot bastion of defense. The battle ended in the death of the last Supreme of the Petriots and by consequence the end of the Petriot Dominion.
After the war Prince Davlec was named king and people waited for years of peace and prosperity under the leadership of King Davlec, however Davlec opted to turn the Aren Kingdom into a Constitutional Monarchy, where the people would have a word in the leadership of the nation. The Aren Kingdom was then renamed the Arengin Kingdom. And for an entire century, the nation went through years of prosperity and freedom.
