The kingdom of Sehti formed during the birth of nations era in the Terran Stone Age. Sehti occupied the valley between the Faulan mountains and the Sliabh mountains. It was neighbored by Jhenee to the north, Kalmar to the south, with Hito to the west over the Faulan. Sehti was a peaceful kingdom, which focused on agriculture and animal husbandry. About half of the population was nomadic, driving large herds around the plains
Sehti joined the Jhan'Ahkha'tar alliance, but when Jhenee began to maneuver a political takeover of Sehti, a civil war broke out. Though originally unprepared for warfare, Sehti had a distinct tactical advantage over Jhenee, cutting of access to the river delta transportation system on which Jhenee depended. This was accomplished via the alliances Sehti formed with Kalmar and Hito. Sehti was victorious, but years of war had changed their society. After the war, a tentative empire was formed, (Sehti'Ahkha'tar) spearheaded by the Sehti, including the lands of all four kingdoms
The Kalmar province would later invade Tael'Reshk without sanction from the emperor, as its power over the other kingdoms was in decline. The war would last many millenia, and Tael'Reshk gained allies. Sehti and Kalmar would engage in a civil war for control of the empire, which weakened Kalmar allowing Tael'Reshk and its allies to be victorious, and the empire fractured back into three kingdoms. Hito rebranded itself as Hito'Maru, while Sehti became Sehti'taal. Both Kalmar and Sehti'taal learned much in that era, and ended up forming the Jhua'nen alliance to regain their former strength
This sparked an era of expansion, colonization, and conquest. Sehti'taal founded colonies in Aeye and Naer, conquering Akkau settlements it found. They carved out a pass through the low-point in the Sliabh mountains, and build a massive obelisk on the salt flats which they hoped would draw colonists and build a thriving economy around a salt trade. Instead, they drew dissidents who took over the government structures and seceded from Sehti'taal
Kalmar would later declare war on Reshk'tar which would begin the Age of Blood
