Unescythia

Unescythia was a former city-state that was conquered by a Barbarian tribe after it's leader was bribed with several hundred pounds of gold. The Scythians have since been assimilated into several other barbarian tribes.

History
The royal family dates back several generations before the nation of Unescythia, and can be recorded in several raids on ancient civilizations. It is estimated that Unescythia was founded in 2300 BC.

Early History
The Early years of Unescythia are recognized by bloodshed and terror. One such story is the Epic of Saluna, the warrior king who defended the small settlement from a 250 man raiding force. The Settlement itself has been recorded to have been razed several times during this age, however each time it was rebuilt by the current king and his followers. These dark ages lasted for nearly five hundred years, ending at around 1852

Golden Age
Unescythia formed one of the greatest militaries of it's time after the dark ages in it's history, it's army consisted of a thousand or so men who were forcibly conscripted into the armed forces. It was at this time that King Saniad took power and began a regime of forcible expulsion of the nearby barbarian tribes. During this time Unescythia flourished, as the now abandoned land was turned into farmland allowing for a population boom that lasted for several decades. The end of the Golden Age came with the ascension of Salmud.

Salmud Age
Salmud was a confirmed leader who led Unescythia after his father's death on his 12th Birthday (1791 BC). While he delegated power to his regent until he was 15 he still held enormous power and even led several defenses again barbarians in his early years. After he officially took power, his first action was to repel the Barbarian who had return with a vengeance. With his large army he rode out to meet the Barbarians, it was at this time, that a sign of surrender was given, and the King approached the Barbarian Leader. The barbarian leader, better known as Talmul offered King Salmud, more gold then his entire army would carry, if he only allowed the barbarians to return to the land that was rightfully theirs. What King Salmud did not know was that this meant allowing the Barbarians to conquer his city. He agreed, and as he agreed Talmul took his sword and stabbed him in the stomach, and gave the order for his soldiers to attack.

Unescythia fell several days later in year 1780 BC.
