Kanaeans

The Kanaeans were one of the six major human races. Their first settlements were around the west and south of the Bahrslis Bay which later founded the country of Aphestion, the first great human nation. Under Aphestion the Kanaeans spread across the north and east of Kondera and the southeast coast of Canior where they conquered Old Millfarna. Aphestion fell in 305 ACI after its capital was sacked by Dorone Khagan Oswahr, leaving a large but scattered and disunified population of Kanaeans.

In the remnants of Aphestion there formed the countries of Gelavon and Aronear, while settlements in Taronia developed into the trio of rival kingdoms of Karn, Selmina, and Gasella. Karn in particular grew to prominence in the eighth and ninth centuries until the arrival of Coderites in the area led to the downfall of all major Kanaean players there. Aronear (now Magiert) lasted until 1300 and Gelavon until 1900 but they too ultimately fell to the Taronian Coderite Empire, leaving a collection of small nations east of the Alugian Mountains as the only still-independent Kanaean states.
