	Before the Dorenti, the Sorval Valley was inhabited by the Velas, survivors of the civilization destroyed by the [[Ioneisean Empire]]. The [[Dorenti]] arrived through a series of migrations from southern Athelonesia that occurred during the -740s PR. They too were the battered remnants from a conflict against a conquering host, in the case of the latter, the [[Ankaidou]], who drove the Dorenti from the [[Ascaedi Wilds]]. Ultimately, the two cultures would intermarry and become indistinguishable.

	In -532 PR, the Ankaidou invaded the valley. It was only through the Phyrangi's leadership and ingenuity that the Dorenti prevailed. Vedestes used the invaders' inherent fear of forests against them, and never again did the Ankaidou try to enter the valley, believing them accursed.		In -532 PR, the Ankaidou invaded the valley.

	These incursions began with the settling of colonies along the river, aggressively clearing the forests with ax and fire as Arghris demanded. Those actions were enough to draw Dorenti reprisals, but the settlement of Caldunoin at the mouth of the Sarbech brought the worst of Andorian insults. Its denizens forced conversions or enslavement upon the Dorenti people.

The Neumeni, greatly harmed by Andorian aggression, came under the sway of Arghris the Flamebearer, seeking to fight "fire with fire". The Phyrangi continued following the traditional ''Old Faith''.

	The Phyrangi, a semi-civilized tribe by Pelverran sensibilities, readily adopted the ''Known Gods'' and traded extensively with one another. The aggressive and xenophobic Neumeni and the highly spiritual Vedesti tribes chose to adhere to their old customs, fiercely resisting conversion.		After the death of the last king, the kingdom was partitioned between his twin sons, who formed the [[Kingdom of Camlen]] and the [[Kingdom of Neumenia]] in 230 PR, respectively.

The Phyrangian kingdom split after the death of its last king in 230 PR between his twin sons, who were feuding over religious and personal reasons. The younger of the twins was given the Duchy of Camlen, where worship of the ''Old Faith'' was prevalent, while the elder twin was awarded the Duchy of Neumenia, which had renounced the ''Old Faith'', for that of the [[Andorian Empire\|Andorian Empire's]] chief god, Arghris the Flamebearer. Both kingdoms were enemies of the empire, but approached the conflict differently.

	In 409 PR, an Andorian military pogrom was declared against isolated "heretical elements" within Camlen, but eventually stretched into a holy war ending with Camlen being conquered entirely in 413 PR. The acquired territory was lumped into the newly formed Andorian province of Waymoot.
