The Confluence

Period known as the Great Wandering, where multiple human tribes - later gathered under the name Tumult Nomads - survive by journeying from Oasis to Oasis

Following a mystical call, the Tumult Nomads initiate the Great Migrations: the various nomadic tribes all converge towards a distant location, which later becomes Asgartha. With no alternative and weary of their endless journeys, the Nomads decide to take a leap of faith by heading towards this unknown destination

One after another, the caravans of Tumult Nomads arrive at the Oasis that will later be called Asgartha. Out of the eight tribes, only seven make it safely. The Nomads take possession of the small peninsulas that will later become Caer Eidos and establish a colony there. The arrival of the seventh tribe marks the end of the Great Migrations. No one knows what happened to the eighth tribe, now known as the Lost Tribe

The tribes settle in Caer Oorun to develop the necessary crops and livestock for their survival

One of the seven tribes, known as the Exiles, decides to leave the Oasis. Some claim that its members wanted to resume their wandering. Other sources mention a conflict with the other tribes. They leave the peninsula and are never seen again

The tribes that chose to stay decree the Concord: the gathering of all communities into one single people, under one single banner. At the same time, Asgartha is founded: a city, a kingdom, which will serve as a new starting point for human civilization. To lead it, Rune is crowned as Kuningas, the first High King of Asgartha. The Asgarthan calendar begins with the year of the Founding of Asgartha. This year is marked as 1 AC, for Anno Concordiae, the 'Year of Concord'

The Asgarthan territory is divided into two administrative units: Caer Eidos on one side, and Caer Oorun on the other
