Enadii Trading Civilization

The Enadii Trading Civilization was an ancient civilization existing from 1103 BC to 481 BC. In it's time, it was the only civilization in Enadia, and the most prosperous on all of Tarra.

Etymology
The term Enadii, along with the terms Enadia and Enadian, derive from the Ancient Enadii word endna, meaning "trader." The Enadii themselves never used the terms "Trading Civilization", it was given to it by Meadrinian archaeologists who discovered the remains.

Build-Up
The Enadii inhabited the Swatiski River Valley area around 1200 BC, and they had a thirst for adventure. As a result, they began exploring up the river and mining underground. Fifty years later, they began wanting value and respect for what they did. Thankfully, the miners had discovered Gold, so they began using it to pay explorers and miners. Farmers would also acquire Gold, and sell their product for it. By 1110 BC, Gold was in full circulation as a currency.

Early Years
In 1103 BC, the Enadii civilization began, ruled by 10 elders elected by the people. They started rapid exploration, which allowed them to discover a tribe up the river, named the Argimii. The Enadii took the opportunity to trade with them, but it was unsuccessful and the Argimii fled the area. Around 1050 BC, they discovered 2 tribes on the west side of the river, the Yawii and the Cadii. This time, trade was successful, bringing gold to the tribes, and new materials to the Enadii. They also discovered a tribe on the east side named the Julii. In 760 BC, further up on the west side, a tribe named the Vardii was discovered, also performing successful trade. At the same time, on the other side, they encountered the Illiricii. Soon, they discovered where the Swatiski River split off into the Swatiski Delta. Due to the climate and temperature, they believed that monsters lived there, and they did not sail any further up the river. However, near the Delta was a tribe named the Latrovii, who did not trade, and would frequently raid into Enadii territory.

The Great Trade War
Around the year 620 BC, they decided they had enough resources and stopped trading with the tribes. As the only way the tribes got gold was by trading, suddenly every tribe had an extremely rich person, who owned at least 50% of the gold there. The average non-Enadii now only had enough gold to pay for 1 loaf of bread every 2 months. In the 610s, they invaded the Enadii ports, but the Enadii easily defeated them and took over their lands, with most tribes fleeing. Unlike most tribes, the Enadii followed the 7 Illirican tribes, which resulted in them migrating to the Illirican islands. The civilization was now at it's peak, but it was also when signs of fragility began to show.

Enadii Collapse
Around 500 BC, the Latrovii raided, but it matched a very badly-timed famine back at the Enadii homeland. This allowed for the Latrovii to take much of the areas. Because of all the problems, the civilization collapsed in 481 BC.
