History of Costa Madora

Before statehood
It is estimated that the first inhabitants arrived on the territory of modern Costa Madora in 945. According to the historian Natalie Camilla, these people came from the western coast of Krosari. They brought two different cultures, as evidenced by the tools they used. They were traveling hunters and did not form stable settlements. In 955, the climate became much warmer and forests developed. The inhabitants then traveled less and engaged in local hunting, gathering and fresh-water fishing. Later, various animals were domesticated and dwellings became more sophisticated in order to shelter larger families. Agriculture did not emerge until 960 due to a harsh terrain and a lack of suitable tools to cultivate the land. Crafts and trade also started to form at this time.

Formation of tribes
In 960 began a reformation, causing several tribes to emerge. They were a branch of an ancient group known as the Altuns, with Akecheta and Wahansat growing rapidly. They later began to speak different dialects of the Altunian languages. Today, the only remaining nationalities are the Madorians and Trusnians, but there were more tribes in the past. Some of these merged into the existing nationalities (Pahana, Donahaw and Lokni), while others no longer existed after they were conquered and assimilated by the Barborican Empire (Old Trusnians, Chayton, Mikasi and Sewati). The living tribes did not maintain close political contact with the Empire, but traded natural resources. Romenus, in his study of Vestlandia, described the people as “isolationist farmers and hunters, who maintain limited contact while trading”. In 970, early Costa Madora was founded along the lower and middle Hanagan River basin, and united comprising mainly of the culturally different regions of modern day Bruna. The area was remote and unattractive to outsiders, including traders, which accounts for its separate linguistic, cultural and religious identity and delayed integration into general European patterns and trends. Costa Madora’s name was first written in 1130 as Vestlandia, in the records of the Saint Martin Abbey, Barborico. Rulers' bodies were cremated up until the conversion to Christianity: only the bodies were destroyed, while the descriptions of the cremation ceremonies and other minor items survived. It is thought that in the 12th century, the tribes have developed and became partially recognised.

Confederation of Alosaka
From the 12th century onwards, the natives formed a confederation that grew in size, although even when subjected to raids by the Barboricans, and eventual collections of tribute by the kings of the Barborican Empire. During that period, Alosakian territories were struggling to pay tribute to the Empire, and were invaded by them in 1130. This initiated the Barborican-Alosakian War, which devastated the confederation. In 1132, the natives surrendered and were subjected to slavery and integrated into the Seven Barborican Colonies.
