During the [[Age of Ascendance]], several spirits came to dwell in Khamria and its surrounding valleys. Among them was Kúsi, spirit of strata, talus and loess, embodying the arid and rocky nature of the land. Yala, the spirit of memory and history, also made a home there, along with the spirit of caverns and subterranean networks and a spirit associated with greed and desire.

|History==== The Age of Ascendance (c. BME 100,000-50,000) ===
|History={{See also|History of Khamria}}
Following the stabilization of the realm, ascended spirits assumed dominion over the primordial earth, often working in pairs. Kúsi and Yala settled in the valleys adjacent to the Domain of [[Yairan]], with Kúsi shaping the tangible qualities of the land while Yala shaped its intangible aspects. Similarly, the spirits of caverns and greed fashioned subterranean regions and the forces that dwell within them.
During the [[Great Erosion]] (c. 63,000–55,000 BME) the [[Namuril]] built refuges beneath Khamria and settlements in the [[Baviare Vale]]. When it ended, [[Yairan]] withdrew to the [[Domain of Yairan]] and the Namuril left the Vale.


=== The Great Migration (c. BME 50,000-20,000) ===
In the [[Age of Ascendance]] the spirits [[Yala]] and [[Kúsi]] settled in the region. Kúsi created the [[Mundari]], who live in the high mountains and hold most of the [[Barerte Waste]].
During the [[Great Migration]], humans departed their ancestral home of [[Haberria]] and spread across Dalel. In Khamria, these settlers became known as the Arânzeni and the [[Oinien]]. The Arânzeni primarily inhabited the Baviare Vale and the Barerte Waste, while the Oinien settled in the mountain ranges known as [[Orinilure]]. Over generations, both groups were shaped by the spiritual influences of their environment. The Arânzeni developed stony skin, exceptional memory, and extended lifespans, while the Oinien adapted to subterranean life, becoming pale, blind, and translucent in appearance.


=== The Age of Deep Roads (c. BME 20,000-0) ===
Humans entered Khamria from [[Gosterra]] in 300 ME and founded [[Lavierin]] in 302 ME. Under the influence of Yala and Kúsi they became the [[Arânzeni]]. After 150 years as tribal bands, a number of them formed the [[Arânzeni Confederation]] in 450 ME. The tribes of the Barerte Waste refused to join and still live there.
As erosion reshaped the surface, subterranean habitation expanded during the Age of [[Deep Roads]]. The Oinien extended the passages built by the [[Namuril]] during the [[Great Erosion]] into vast tunnel networks. These tunnels facilitated trade and cultural exchange with the Arânzeni and allowed movement through previously inhospitable regions.


=== Modern Khamria (0 ME-Present) ===
The [[Oinien]] of [[Orinilure]] extended the Namuril passages into the [[Deep Roads]], which link the cities of the Vale to Orinilure.
In the present age, Khamria remains defined by continuity and resilience. The Arânzeni maintain traditions rooted in stone and memory, while the Oinien expand their subterranean networks in pursuit of wealth and resources. Alongside them dwell the [[Mundari]], an isolated goat-like race inhabiting the high mountains.
