Editing Gonhog (section)

==History==

===Prehistory===

The area that is present-day Gonhog was first inhabited by hunter-gatherers in around 11000 BC- some 2000 years before the invention of agriculture.  Hunters found the seas plentiful with fish, large land mammals, and plentiful flora.  With the invention of agriculture, settlements began to be placed down.  The territory was divided into tribes and clans.

===Pre-Antiquity===


While hundreds of clans inhabited the area, three larger ones would eventually go on to unite these warring clans by around 2000 BC.  The clans were descendants of some of the first settlers and boasted impressive populations for the time. These tribes were the Meredians, Normics, and Borviciis.  While the Meredians traced back their cultural and physical roots from the west, the culturally similar Normics and Borviciis were originally from the south.  The Meredians also arrived earlier to the region, around 500 years before their counterparts.  

Wars between the tribes over hunting and farming grounds, family quarrels, or border disputes often pitted all three against each other, however the Normics and Borviciis frequently allied with each other.  After a series of royal intermarrying, the Normics and Borviciis were eventually united as the Borvimic Kingdom under Berovim the Great in 705.

The Borvimic Empire would continue to exist and expand under the Berovimic dynasty, which lasted until 507 BC.  It stretched as far south as the Great Gulf.  The Berovimic Empire saw an expansive infrastructure develop and a boom in the arts and literature, especially under the "Enlightened Five," the first five emperors of the Empire that promoted the arts and culture.  During the latter half of the Empire, greater autonomy was given to the local clans, which resulted in a fractured state.  The Empire fell into disunity, and collapsed in 507 BC.

===Confederation Era===

Following the fall of the the Borvimic Empire, the area once again dissolved into warring clans.
