History of the Berkke people.

0-200
Berkke people, the most mountainous Dreic with constant contact with the mountains and the streams, are not entirely isolated; they have neighbors such as Q'achkav, Tohaol and some Hautaric people that live by their side.

During the 2nd century, invasions of both Qachkav and Tohaol leadership invaded and inquired submission Berkke cities.

200-300
Despite the invasions of outsiders, Berkke kingdoms remained still, once and now berkke cities handed tributes to Qachkav and they would leave them alone, but that wasn't fulfilling, the winter was also approaching quickly in the mountains so the crops failed to produce and soon many migrated over to the Heart of Koty, berkke kingdom slowly lost its popularity and control over their own lands.

300-600
Telehe empire expanded much further inland in Berkke territory, Berkke fought invading Telehe but soon they took over almost all bordering cities and so Berkke were forced to either fight or accept Telehe ruling and being subordinated to Telehe, they did so by marrying their wealthiest woman with the current Telehe emperor Saemedor Aeym married Domet. With Berkke lands they had access to nearby ports and mountainous rivers, which in itself proved to be a challenging region to control, several rebellions and cities declaring independence plagued the Telehe ruling class.

600-1000
In this period Ergoy received visions and teachings of an unknown deity, known to be all powerful before all other gods, this god challenged the polytheistic nature of Berkke and Telehe cultures, it was highly prohibited and believers were persecuted, for their nature to misbehave towards authorities.

From the time Berzun fell and Telehe rule were weakened, Berkke authorities expelled most Telehe diplomats and government servants, those that refused were imprisoned or assassinated, a short period of many deaths and confusing, but shortly and easily the ancient Berkke kingdom was reestablished and had its own rules and authorities.

1000-1150
More than one quarter of the entire population in the Berkke kingdom converted to the Loshian faith, a monotheistic affront to the polytheistic traditions of many people; they were humiliated and ostracized from most political meetings and feasts.

The reign of Erojo is one of the most controversial of them all, he had the decision to rule out and ban introducing new cults of strange and divergent nature, including Loshians in which he most disliked. Loshians had secret temples, preferring the dark corner where no one could be seen except those with torches and in meeting saloons, often regarded as temples and ceremonial rooms. This sparked curiosity and backfired terribly since most traditional rituals were performed during the day and out in public, Loshians were humiliated and beaten for misbehaving in secret chambers and caves.

Once Erojo died, the Berkke kingdom was subsequently divided once more. It split into three other kingdoms. Each of them continued to forbid religious freedom.

Kingdom of Gannya
The most mountainous of the three, it is a diverse kingdom with the most distinctive Verkke-Geryo dialect of Berkke language. The majority of the population still adheres to Losh, but they are now in the minority because most Loshians fled into the wilderness and numerous abandoned Loshian temples were either demolished or used in novel methods by adherents of the traditional religion of Berkke.

Kingdom of Eleria
The most populous of the three kingdoms, it was once a Loshianist country but it had set up religious freedom under conventional Eleria. First most traditional of the three, Eleria, named just after the king, still authorized religious freedom.

Kingdom of Ogwal
The effects of Erojo couldn't be seen, but the fear of being dismantled caused many Loshians to flee in hopes of a better place on the shores of Koty, to only endure the harsh climate and fruitless soil. Ogwal country wasn't persuaded, and it never served Erojo in his battle, releasing Ogwal country almost unchanged. The kingdom of Ogwal and Gannya despite having their heritage set up, they united themselves in a marriage affair, but the gods once more cursed them Berkke folks, no male was born from this relation, a problem of succession stroke the both kingdoms that now desperate looking for a heir, years came by, no one was qualified enough, In 1123AGS a heated discussion between the kingdom of Ogwal and Gannya in regards to the next heir of both kingdoms since they would, this event came to be known by both kingdoms, they send letters, for days this was considered an accident, until a false letter arriving the kingdom of Ogwal, making them believe it was meant to happen.

The next years were unhappy as several conflicts in between the kingdom of Ogwal and Gannya took place, allowing the Qachkav kingdoms to strengthen themselves and beat these two kingdoms. Around 1150 AGS many conflicts sparkled here and there in between the three kingdoms and Qachkav tribes, finally the tribes could tear apart the kingdoms.
