A vague sketch of the history of the Cheltian Nation.
- Ancient history: The first nation states form in north-west Keltia: the Free Republic; Baracao; Varja, Politika; Korhal; then Karnali (later part of the Grand Commonwealth)
- Prehistory: Various culture and ethnic groups in north-west Keltia are ruled by many other micronations. They include Col, Durntkinstan, Gralus, Hatay, Iridia, Oscland, Stormark and Vanderveer.
- Magic invasion: Toketi, later part of the Gralan Empire, swarms over the region and founds the hated Laranel polity, where no provincial governors are appointed and therefore no right of redress exists except to central government.
- Disintegration: Colish communism fails, local monarchs fall, even Gralan government becomes corrupt and declines. Roving bands of rebels and bandits become commonplace.
- Coalescence: From within Gralus and across the Green, people are brought together in a common Keltian or Cheltian identity by a shared arduous history, a common culture and tongue, and shared stories and songs.
- Development: The prototypical social strata form among the Cheltians.
- Formation: The Barr caste become formal rulers of the Cheltian Nation and the state begins exists as it does today. The roving court begins the Great Trek.
- Expansion: Shipbuilding begins in earnest when the shipwright caste (Rirn) is recognised and the Far Char Lodgment is founded after successive successful voyages across the Strait of Pearls.
