THIS IS UNFINISHED, MORE COMING SOON
This is an article about the full history of Elestiyanj, from its first settlers to the present day Democratic Republic of Elestiyanj.

First settlers
Elestiyanj was first settled at around 24,000bc by the Qashta People, who were thought to be from the small island of Quantum Occidens. The Qashta lived as peaceful hunter gatherers.

11,000bc-5500bc
The Qashta people slowly started to adopt farming, and developed an early form of Shanuqan in around 6000bc, which believed the world was created in 8000bc by the god Aiyellar, and the world before that was an empty void.

In around 5520bc, the Qashta people started to arrange themselves, a man named Koskál Nuvupp was crowned the first king of the Qashta Kingdom in 5500bc

Qashta Kingdom
The Qashta Kingdom is regarded by historians as the first form of Elestiyanj. The kingdom lasted from 5500bc-4000bc.

The Qashta kingdom left behind many relics of the past through stone carvings, the stone carvings depicted exotic art.

In 4000bc, a large volcano erupted, which caused mass devastation across the world and in the Qashta Kingdom. The eruption caused the kingdom to collapse. Society in the Qashta peoples' territory recovered 60 years later, forming the new Elestii Empire (see below)

After the eruption of the volcano, A small town named Bompai in the present day East Elestiyanj province was buried under ash falling into the valley the town was situated in, the ash hardened around the bodies of people there in their final moments, causing the bodies to be preserved to this day.

Elestii Empire
The Elestii Empire lasted from around 3940bc-2432bc, It was an absolute monarchy which shares similarities with present day Elestiyanj, with the main similarity being that people are split into classes depending on their loyalty to the government.

The Elestii Empire was founded by King Ksûftan, and was built on the remnants of the Qashta Kingdom. The religion of Shanuqan was spread throughout the nation.

The Elestii Empire eventually fell in 2432bc due to support falling for the government.

Elestii Horde
The Elestii Horde was a short lived empire founded after the fall of the Elestii Empire, it lasted from 2432bc-2387bc. The empire was founded by Qeníss Xan, who believed that the world should be dominated by the Elestii Horde. Qeníss Xan went on to invade most of Initia. and part of Nova Orientem.

When the Elestii Horde landed in Nova Orientem in 2344bc, multiple tribes living on the island attempted to stop the empire from expanding. This pushed back the Elestii Horde to the west of the island. The tribes later sailed into the Elestii Horde's territory in 2350bc, and invaded it. This caused the horde to begin collapsing, starting with countries breaking away in the east of the empire.

The horde fully collapsed in 2387bc, and only possessed a small fraction of its former territory.
