The History of Seleya is generally examined not as a whole, since the continent has never been under the control of a single political entity, but as the stories of individual nations and peoples.
Prehistoric era[]
In the prehistoric era, Seleya was dominated by hunter-gatherer tribes and later by farming villages and communities. As early as 8000 BCE, there is evidence of the existence of settlements in present-day Indrala. Around 5000 BCE, the first communities began to emerge in southern Seleya (modern-day Kanjor and Alduria) in the form of the Numineux Valley Civilisation.
