====History====
The kingdom of Hito formed in the Stone Age, as Aimsir's western coast was in rapid development. Hito was the first of four nations ([[Kalmar]], [[Sehti]], [[Jhenee]]) that formed during this age on the western side of the [[Sliabh Mountains]]. These four nations would enter into the [[Jhan'Ahkha'tar]] alliance which quickly morphed into an empire under one ruler. 

This empire would thrive for ten million years, but the four nations that formed the empire would retain their regional identities. The [[Jhenee]], the nation that inhabited the plains surrounding [[Kachua Bay]], would grow in strength, exerting its influence over the other three regions. This led to a civil war which pitted the [[Jhenee]] against the [[Sehti]], who inhabited what is now called the [[Valley of the Silver Wind]], the upper plains between the [[Faulan Mountains]] and the [[Sliabh Mountains|Sliabh]]

[[Kalmar]] and Hito would join with the [[Sehti]] against the [[Jhenee]], which would facilitate [[Jhenee]]'s defeat. [[Sehti]] absorbed the majority of the lands of the [[Jhenee]], renaming their kingdom Sehti'taal. Hito would also gain some of the lands across the [[Faulan Mountains]], renaming their kingdom Hito'Maru. The three victorious regions split into three separate kingdoms at this time

When hostilities between the three nations continued, Hito'Maru feared invasion by the Sehti and built a massive wall blocking the [[Faulan Pass]]. It can be argued that this prevented invasion for many years. The Hito then turned their attention to commerce, developing an extremely lucrative silk trade, and building an impressive series of stone bridges across the islands that dot their coast. The bridges allowed the transport of the silk without the use of ships, a key advantage which brought the Hito vast wealth, which is is well documented

Hito enjoyed many years of wealth and independence until the [[Sehti]] absorbed [[Kalmar]]'s territory in the Age of Blood. This gave them the armies and more importantly the navies they needed to launch an invasion of Hito'Maru that did not require traversing the [[Faulan Pass]]. The [[Hito]] were absorbed into the [[Jhua'nen]] empire and remained a part of the empire through the remainder of the Age of Blood. After the Council of Ceilidh and the end of the Blood Wars, Jhua'nen was renamed [[Yuanen]], and it was not long after that Hito declared independence from [[Yuanen]] under the fifth clause of the Ceilidh Accord, establishing the nation of [[Fiadh]]
