History
Ancient Times
When applied to the history of Aarð, Ancient Times is not a general term but a specific one. It refers to a period of time between ÐE -437 and ÐE 0, when the kingdoms of Yaþín, Ðanmar, Tlazca and Sonyēl were at their peaks. The Zolcti League was also active during this period, until it was formally dissolved in ÐE -108, a hundred years after the Last Dynasty of Avarra came to power in the south.
Classical Period
In this period of Aarði history, Ðanmar rose to power, conquering Yaþín in ÐE 0 and Avarra in ÐE 39. The Turan Tribes arrived largely unnoticed from the west around ÐE 230. The Northern States had been in dissaray ever since the Zolcti League was dissolved in -108, and remained so until just before the fall of Ðanmar in 622, which marked the end of the Classical Period.
