Jhanavesha

Jhanavesha (dʒʰɑnɑ-veɪsʰɑ), commonly known as the shortened variant Jhana and formally known as the Divine Kingdom of Jhanavesha (Jhanaveshan: Ksanjharigī Jhanavesha Bash) is a in southern Tarsis which touches the Gulf of Hali to its north-west and the Southern Sea to its south.

=Early History= Archaeological records show human habitation of Jhanavesha to begin at around 18,000 to 17,000 years before the Elyrian Calamity. These early inhabitants left polished stones and cave paintings across Jhanavesha, but most importantly leaving small stone tombs of tributes to the spirits they worshipped called (wip name). The various people descended from these early inhabitants would separate into two key cultures: the (wip) and (also wip).

The (wip)
The (wip) people were those inhabiting the southern jungles and central foothills of Jhanavesha before the creation of the Old Veshyk Kingdom. These people would be a diverse array of native peoples and migrants from the Gulf of Hali, the inhabitants of this region becoming very cosmopolitan in nature with the abundance of trade and foreign cultures. Much of Jhanavesha's early history is documented due to the multi-cultural interactions along the southern coast and the records kept by the merchants of the coast.

The (also wip)
The (also wip) people had not settled down like their southern kin, rather having a migratory herding lifestyle in the northern mountains. The (also wip) had been isolated from the surrounding world for some time, only being truly introduced into foreign cultures with the rise of the Old Veshyk Kingdom, even then many of the traditions and language of the northern peoples remained without influence from the world outside the mountains, this can still be seen in the modern day with the dialect and cultural differences compared to the southern (wip) people in Jhanavesha.

=The Old Veshyk Kingdom= These nomadic herders and small settlements eventually would consolidate into various tribes and chiefdoms until the coming of the "Far People" (Name WIP), the "Far People" swiftly conquered and settled a small area within the central foothills of Jhanavesha, establishing what would be known as the Old Veshyk Kingdom. These "Far People" would be assimilated into the Jhanaveshan people through time and would influence the creation of the old Jhanaveshan culture with several instances of root words having been derived from these foreign peoples.
