BRIEF PRE-GAME HISTORY

In ancient times the people of Istalia where originally a mix of migrants from the old Kalopian city states and Majatran tribes. The rise of the Qedarite Empire to the north but never managed to colonize the Istalian people, however because of trade contacts between the two peoples the new religion of Hosianism was easily transmitted to the country where it continues to play a major force.
With the break up of the Qedarite Empire soon brought a new and even more influential power to Majatra, the Augustan Empire which dominated the area from Cobura to modern day Istalia. The Empire brought Hosianism in greater strength to the area and greater trade contacts. During the waning years of the Augustan Empire the country was one of the first areas lost to the rising Ahmadi Caliphate which using the new and forceful religion as its base. The Ahmadi Caliphate brought the Ahmadi faith to Istalia and named their conquered lands as Quanzar. After the fall of the Caliphate the country became the Quanzari Emirate until the early 3000's when it became Istalia.
