![]() The Theocrats first mention the name "Glaenia" in Turassian text stating "Lord Hittyan, the groveling peasants of Glaenia- as they now are known rise and challenge us! They claim we spit in the eye of Tyurz, embracing Eucretian. Six hundred years tallied long before their freedom an uprise had first occurred on any record. Uprise had always been stomped out by the Despot, and later the Caliphs, and last by the Sultans. The traditions of ancient Glaenia had long been forgotten, and buried under the sands of oppressive tyranny. Nibilia would rule them as a despot for years, and those who were strong in stock from the ancient city would not kneel to a ruler with unmatched power as farmers, peasants, and slaves. ![]() Those who remained alive in Glaenia had accepted a new ruler hailing from their rival city Nibilia. It is said that they, regardless of their might, had been first defeated by the invaders of Raxoiyu giving them a new tongue. Often they would war with neighbor city-states in the desert of Etedhad, wars would be won and lost. The unintelligent primitives had not known the use of Iron that surrounded them, so the crude rocks made a force to match against spears. In these days Glaenia was known for military prowess and the obsidian sickle-swords which had been used sided with wooden shields. ![]() In the early times Glaenia was known by a name in a long defeated tongue Fiutept. The date of Glaenia's foundation dates back far before many other cities, and it is placed amongst the most elderly of places in Turas behind but eight cities, or so says tradition. Now sit before me great muse and relate to me the history of such a place that had rose from a backwards cropping city amongst a desert power to the mightiest of empires! Far before the use of iron, bronze, copper, or any raw material. The arms of the Etedhad desert spreads from an ancient time long before people were civilized enough to understand the wrong doing of eating human meat.
