History of Dul Kinea

The history of Dul Kinea has mostly circled around rebellions coup d'etats. Dul Kinea has been through numerous civil wars and revolutions until its merge with Amateria and the formation of Egelion.

First settlements
The first settlers arrived in the first centuries CE on the beach where modern day Libertaria lies. They built several towns and monuments on the coast. Not much is known about them today.

Pirate occupation
Around 750 CE, Ghadrashan pirates arrived on the Dul Kinean coast and drove off the inhabitants. There they constructed several harbour towns where they which could be used as safe harbours on their raids. The towns were built by slave labour taken from the local population.

Reconquista
In the years after the pirate invasion more and more people migrated from the seven kingdoms north of Dul Kinea. They settled down among the native population on the plains and in the mountains, where the two peoples soon assimilated. In 823 CE a Pirate king called Pyotr Cápa gathered some of his crews to raid a large Kinean settlement. The people however gathered and fought off the pirates. Inspired, the village elder Leon Alvarez rode from town to town to unite the people in order to drive the pirates from their lands. One year later Alvarez had gathered more then ten thousand warriors under his command.

The pirate kings gathered their crews in Port Arannyal, their larges harbour town. After a long battle Alvarez managed to kill the pirates leader. The survivors fled to their ships, but many surrendered as the 'reconquistadors' stormed the dock. Using the language of the old population, their freed nation was called 'Dul Kinea' which meant land of the free. Alvarez was crowned king Leon I and he set up his capital in Port Arannyal, now renamed Kineaville.
