Hiluxian Empire

The Hiluxian Empire is a state located in central Thietia.

Hilux
The main ethnic group in the country was the Hilux peoples. Around 5500p the first Hilux began to arrive, mostly from north Thietia. For 2000 years they roamed the area as nomadic folk. They became sedentary around 3500 BC and built their first city, Mazatle, which was mysteriously abandoned in 3100. They ended up building other cities, such as Tocto Zuma and Toloc Sumí (their capital).

Nakua
The Nakua were a people who inhabited the area east of the Telzeco River. These people migrated here from the north and are likely related to the Ixhal. Not much is known about their early history but they seemed to have arrived at their new homeland around 3200p. These people built few cities, mostly near mountaintops. Ixotle, their main city, was built around 3000 p. Zitale was built around 2800p. They were known for building temples on mountaintops, and many stairs to reach them.

Ixhal
The Ixhal were a people who lived north of the Telzeco River (Yixoc River in the Ixhal language). Their ancestors arrived there around 10,000 BC and remained quite isolated, living in jungle huts. Around 4000 they began stone working and by 3000 were building large monuments. Ixhal, their capital, was constructed before 2800 and was known to be a lush paradise city. Built in a clearing in the deep jungles, it was full of architectural wonders and was the most modern city of its age. Even the Hilux had heard stories of Ixhal, which they saw as an earthly heaven.

Early history
These tribes started to meet up around 3000. Hiluxian explorers crossed the Telzeco River and discovered Nakua villages. Over time, they began to bring their language and religion, and the Nakua were slowly converted to the Hiluxian Religion. Around 2600 the Zosi of Hilux married his son to the King of Nakua's only daughter. He inherited his father's lands in 2594 and his wife's lands ca. 2590, and combined them to form the Hiluxian empire. He built up a large army and the beginnings of a civil service. Much different things occurred in Ixhal lands; the old king had died around 2520 and there was a power struggle between his sons. This turned into a full civil war. In the midst of this fighting the Imperial Hiluxan army marched into Ixhal to subdue the rebellion and control the area (ca. 2440). But, the Ixhal they found was not the one they had heard of in the stories of past. Much of the once marvelous city was burnt down, its people were in disarray and its magnificent temples and monuments had deteriorated in over 80 years on infighting. Only until 2391 did the Hiluxians conquer Ixhal.
