History of Inutilia

Here follows an account of the history of Inutilia. TEMPORARY NOTE: It is currently unfinished.

Prior to official recording
Unsurprisingly, very little is known about Inutilia before its history began to be recorded. Given the nation-wide mistrust of giant empires, which is a trait that extends back very far, it is possible that The Empire once controlled them against their will.

However, from the very beginning the genealogy of kings and rulers were fanatically recorded, even though next to none of them have any mention of what the kings in question did- the obvious exception being King Pteppicymon the Great. A very rough version of this part of its history can be drawn from these.

Founding of Inutilia and Early Djelibeybian Dynasty
The country was founded by the semi-mythical King Pteppicymon the Great, who also founded the longest-standing dynasty in the history of the country.

All years here are those shown in the Annals of Inutilian Kings, which are measured in Ancient Inutilian Years. These start from the year the kingdom was founded. The date in today's measurements is unknown.

Speculated transition to present-day Inutilia
Literature from between 411 and 466, coupled with the monarch's nickname 'The Mover', suggest that some sort of major event happened around this time, and allusions to lands 'flowing with grass' not only imply that the nation had previously been in a harsh arid climate, but also that even writers of the time were hardly sufficiently educated. It is speculated that Inutilia was in fact founded in modern-day Australis, and around this time moved to its present location. Nobody knows why, although it could have something to do with The Empire.

Great Gap
Refers to a period of unknown length where no records at all survive, which is the chief reason why nobody knows exactly when Inutilia was founded. The records were certainly made, but have since been lost. Inutilian historians blame this on The Empire, but then they blame nearly everything on The Empire.

The only thing anyone knows for sure about the Great Gap is that at some point during it, the prejudice against rulers without the name 'Pteppicymon' seems to have vanished. And a good thing, too.

Late Djelibeybian Dynasty
The Great Gap notwithstanding, one certain record made about Queen Ahna makes it clear that the following records still pertain to the original Djelibeybian dynasty.

Ptracian Dynasty
It took a year for the closest surviving relative of Queen Ahna to be traced, so the second dynasty came into effect during a state of anarchic turmoil.

The Ptracian Dynasty was extremely short-lived, lasting for under a century, but has some of the most detailed records. Nearly all of them pertain to squabbles with the RCM over the silver in the Inutilian-Cancionish range, and are extremely repetitive, and have thus been left out of this article.
