Etymology
Besaid comes from the name of the most prominent tribe, and the agreed upon name of the collective tribes of the different nomads during Besaid’s founding. How the name of the tribe and of the collective tribes came to be is shrouded in mystery and legend.

Early History
The city was founded some three thousand years ago by Nomads seeking to worship God without being persecuted by the Kings of the North. Soon after, the people of the city made a constitution and became a democratic republic with both representative and direct democratic means, similarly to today. It however, was under constant evasion from other people, and thus the multiple tribes within the group of Besaidians, put their unique skills together to build massive walls, some of the thickest and largest in the world at the time. After that, the city began to grow in population and size so much that expanding the wall and preserving an ever so small piece of the previous ones was an annual tradition.

Capital of Trade
Soon the city began to handle almost every trade that went near it’s region, and it began to mine, and harvest heavily. It’s economy boomed for years on end and the population skyrocketed for years and years. Soon, the city was so massive that neighboring regions and city-states willingly threw away their sovereignty, and joined Besaid, this lead to a great Expansion for the city.

Building an Empire
Quickly the city expanded great distances and began to conquer and rule many lands. Ruler after ruler went on campaigns to expand the Empire of Besaid, with each hoping to gain popularity and a spot in history by doing so.

Decline of the Empire
The empire of Besaid flourished for well over two-thousand years before slowly shrinking due to a wide array of reason ranging from corruption and internal collapse to economic fall, the betrayal of allies, and the threat of enemies, amongst other reasons like trade decline and rebellion. It took nearly one-hundred and fifty years for the Empire to shrink back down into a mere city state surrounded by a few villages, cities, and plains.

Rebellion
Only a few years after Besaid’s great decline, Rebels and bandits began to form federations and organizations to try and bring Besaid down and under their control. Though these numerous rebellions were put down by the still strong Besaidian Government, they leaked information that would lead to the conquering of the mighty city.

Conquered
The rebels leaked the information about the building and expanding of the city’s walls, and where along the coast the least amount of patrolling took place. This, along with other information, and a series of crisis within the city like assassination attempts and the protest of miners lead to the weakening and disorganization of Besaid’s military forces when a neighboring, and far reaching coalition of empires and nations decided to hit Besaid head on. Though the city put up a good, long, hard fight, it eventually fell to the coalition who began to argue over ownership.

New Empire

_____ Occupation
For a few hundred years, _____ occupied the city of Besaid, and the nation later it would later be Capital of. While the occupation began out as easy and fine, it quickly escalated to become a nightmare for the Besaidian People. This helped lead to Besaidian session.
