Historical Timeline:
Early & Preclassical Fho (-1000RT to 370RT)

-Unfehklah Clan develops irrigation for the purpose of intensifying lahbehd cultivation.
-With irrigation, advanced civilization spreads upriver.
-The city-states of Orhsa and Sythe arise and, despite being quite similar, fight constantly. Sythe eventually wins out with the Siege of Orhsa from 327RT-331RT.
-This Siege had a lasting effect on Sythen institutions: it becomes the first empire in the Fho River Basin.
-Orhsa and its capital, Dehpehvahv, decline from 330RT.
-The ambitious second and third Pudelehlkahvahn (think "Emperor"), Vahnu and Ahnehk, expand Sythe to the Lehlehk Desert and import the Traader Logography, giving a writing system to the Fho River Basin by 365RT.
-The coastal clans (unsurprisingly) develop fishing as a leisure and nominally economic activity.

-The coast comes into contact with Maken seafarers; these give the clans boating and advanced and astronomy.
-The Empire of Sythe, the most powerful unit in the River Basin, formalizes Fho culture by the 420s RT.
-Orhsa, from Loninen trade from the Lehlehk Desert, develops a northern nahkle-cultivating outpost called Tehlkem; this allows them to regain power from the 420s RT onward.
-The Loninen, deprived in many cases from the ability to trade and exist nomadically, begin the practices of agriculture and statecraft in earnest.
-The Loninen states become aggressive toward the Empire of Sythe and engage in a ten year long war that results in Loninen domination of Sythen government.
-Orhsa is shut out from this development but nevertheless continues to prosper somewhat with the northern regions of Tehlkem.
-The coast improves economically: fishing becomes a temporary alternative to owning land; with this, Maken seafarers visit more frequently and commence mercantile activities.
-Maken city-states feud over a broken sea-code; the fight ends in the slow but rather complete partition of the vulnerable coastline and an unprepared Orhsa.
-The early colonizers are pushed out of the fields but remain in control of the coastal cities. Orhsa returns to veritable prosperity while the coast slips into further decentralization.
-Headstrong Sythe considers a war with Orhsa: sadly, with great economic consequences and the death of the Pudelehlkahvahn, Orhsa, contrarily quite unaffected, emerges with the advantage.
-Despite its great size and power, the Empire of Sythe never recovers and breaks apart in the 800s RT after the tumult of the 700s RT.
