'''South Kryska Pre-Migration Era:'''
Indigenous Pre-Kryskan tribes of the “Central Kutharan” culture have been documented to
The early civilization that followed enjoyed an unusually less oppressive and era of peace, enabling the fine arts and applied arts to flourish and be distinguished within what is described as an early period of enlightenment ideals. The earliest documentation of professional practice in the field of architecture in the world of Alathra has been recorded in South kryska. The leading theory speculates influence from the reverence of knowledge-based deities in Central Kutharan religion. The first confederation of South Kryskan tribes contained a merged traditional and expertise-based system of authority, with a “First Elder” representing the primary carrier of knowledge in a field of academic study, passed down through an apprenticeship system. Notable titles included “First Painter, First Sculptor”, "First Composer” & “First Architect”. A deliberation over the significance of each discipline resulted in the field of architecture considered the highest esteemed position of rule, a practice that continues to this day.
==== '''Settlement of New Pangolias, Blackthorn Era:''' ====
Shortly after the collapse of the Aurinian Imperium and the subsequent annexation of Pangolias by the Chiefdom of Idrolia, both events long anticipated and foreseen by Pangolite political analysts, the Pengeese began a mass exodus across the oceans of Alathra, with high casualties during the migration.
Notable reasons for the displacement of the Pengeese include but not limited to persecution, geopolitical tensions and conflicts, absence of geopolitical security and active historical erasure and revisionism of the aforementioned by both national level and neighboring powers. There has not been any records of a single Pengeese residing in old Pangolias since then.
A people without a home, The pengeese found themselves seeking refuge in the Commonwealth of Blackthorn under refugee and asylum status whereby Emilia, High Councillor of Blackthorn granted the Pengeese land south of the Blackthorn lake for the establishment of a safe settlement, many believed to be the Promised Land.

This unusual convergence of simultaneously occurring afflictions has remained a noteworthy complex unexplained phenomenon. Unproven theories for the causation of the majority of cases range from as far as a mass psychogenic illness to an unknown contagion element, notably a viral infection, to simply a mere coincidence.

- Light infantry soldiers fitted with a standardized uniform consisting of tunics padded with cotton, waist belt, wool jacket & pants and leather boots & gloves and Iron helmet and armed with engraved crossbows as the primary weapon, adopted from hunting practices, a large rectangular wooden shield on the off hand, a Machete as the side arm adopted from agricultural practices, and small boot knife adopted from culinary practices.
During parades, the shield would be omitted.
