How Hyperboreans became the most powerful galaxy state
(before 20000 BC)


Hyperborea is a powerful state of the Hyperborean period in my setting. It is mentioned in many works, including in "Revenge of Tyrants. Darkness is coming." But what is it, and how exactly did it arise?
It all started a long time ago, but no one remembers exactly how. And to admit, not everyone knows whether the planet Earth is native to people, or whether they all came from another world. But everyone knows one thing. Human civilization existed long before the Earth Alliance and long before the great Acheronian galactic war, which plunged much of the galaxy into chaos. Long before 2596, humans were already exploring space. And quite successfully.
The action of my work "Revenge of the Tyrants. Darkness is coming" takes place 20,000 years before our era. And we see a completely different galaxy. Two large intergalactic civilizations are known - Hyperborea and Blameless Empire. But how exactly did Hyperborea appear and why did it dominate then?
It all began as early as 25,000 BC. Then on Earth there was a completely different structuring of continents. And Hyperborea was not yet the dominant nation. The world was full of other states. And many of them did not want to submit to anyone, but wanted to exist as sovereign powers.
It so happened that there were many continents on Earth at that time. Of these, we are accustomed to Eurasia, Africa, Antarctica and both Americas. They were all called differently. Plus, many of the continents already familiar to us looked different. Well, ultimately, the planet was full of the now sunken continents, the legendary parts of the land.
All continents had different names. Eurasia was divided into three parts - Pelasgiana (now Europe), Aziana (Asia) and Hyperborea, which extended to the far north. The northern part of Hyperborea was called Arctida. The distant mini-continent to the east of Hyperborea is Tula. North and South America were called the continents of Quetzali. Africa was called Libya or Punta. Australia and Oceania were part of the supercontinent Mu (or Lemuria or Pacifida). Mu sometime ago extended over almost the entire Pacific Ocean, but later it was destroyed almost 50%. Its happened because of ancient war with unknown alien threat (70000 BC). Antarctica was warm and habitable and was called the Warm Southern Lands. In the center of the Atlantic and up to northern Greenland, the Daariya mainland existed. There were also other large islands, more descending over the continents.
But the whole story, of course, begins with Hyperborea.

For 25,000 (or earlier) years BC, several large empires arose on Earth at once. One of them was Hyperborea with its capital in North (modern Svalbard), the foremother of runic magic and the harsh sons of the North (it can only be compared with the hypothetical Viking empire). The second most important was Daariya with the capital in Henge (modern surroundings of Stonehenge, England), the foremother of the Celtic warriors and druids. The third was the empire of Pelasgi, which eventually submitted to Hyperborea. Its capital was the city of Delphi. The fourth most important was the Ocean of Mu Empire, in which the descendants of the ancient "children of the sea" still lived. Its capital was the city of Kamui-Moa (modern eastern region of the Ryukyu Islands). The fifth were the Quetzali (Ketzali) Kingdoms, which were constantly at war with each other. Still, the Quetzali often gravitated towards Mu and recognized them as relatives. In sixth place was the Punt empire, which also gravitated towards Mu and the nearby Majahal empire, the Mu protectorate. The Hyperboreans were determined to conquer all empires to the end, and create a huge superstate. But not everyone wanted to submit to them.
It is known from the chronicles that the high king of Daariya, Fin-Domhnall Kadeirn, was inclined to an alliance with Hyperborea. After his death, he bequeathed his throne to the Hyperborean Conung-Emperor Ragnar III Hrolfson. When Kadeirn died, his throne immediately passed to Hrolfson's son Telbert. But after that, a whole army of the insect-like race Ara-Nii invaded the Earth. Ara-Nii took possession of almost the entire western part of Daariya. Fortunately, the army of Hyperborea and Daaria successfully defeated the insects in the Green Lands (now Greenland) and ultimately destroyed all their troops in the North. The Ara-Nii no longer invaded Earth, as in the main galaxy they were defeated by the forces of Elfurr.
After the unification of Daariya and Hyperborea, and after the defeat of insects, the monarchs of the Throne of Norta thought about expanding their possessions. It is known that the emperor of Hyperborea Ragnar IV Hrolfson, already 100 years after Telbert, officially entered into an alliance with the Draconid race. The pact was signed by both parties on the territory of the city of Difneit (now western England, Dumnonia). Because of this, the symbol of dragons spread throughout the lands of Eastern Magna Daaria (modern Britain and in particular Wales).
But the question of expansion persisted. The emperors of Hyperborea thought about going south. Panhyperborean sentiments greatly disturbed the emperors of Mu, Quetzali and Punta. Over time, Hyperborea occupied the lands of Asian, forcing the local rulers to submit to the throne of Norta. A long period of tension began between the vast empires of the Earth.

The conflict began with the decision of the Emperor of Hyperborea Telbert II Ragnwald to launch an offensive on the continents of Quetzali. Local residents began to spread the mysterious religion of the "two-headed god", known as the Nameless. Religion meant sacrifice. Ragnwald eliminated all the sects of the Nameless in the territory of Hyperborea. Then he demanded answers from the Quetzalians. But the Quetzalians did not admit their guilt. Then Telbert ordered the commander-jarl Sigrid Redbeard to gather enough forces for further war. Soon, the Hyperboreans occupied northern Unangan (present-day Canada) and advanced to the dominions of the Black Eagle, one of the emperors of northern Quetzali. The Black Eagle sent 500,000 warriors from different tribes against the army of Sigurd. But the forces were unequal. Sigurd the Redbeard's army inflicted a brutal defeat on the Black Eagle. Fighting broke out throughout North Quetzali. Emperor Mu Ashihiro Takatoa called on the Hyperboreans to withdraw their troops from the allied forces for Mu Quetzali, but the Hyperboreans did not respond to this. Then Ashihiro broke off diplomatic relations with Hyperborea, and ordered all northern merchants to leave the territories controlled by Mu.
The Hyperboreans continued their attack on Quetzali. They took by storm the "City of Peace", the main capital of the Black Eagle. The North Quetzali Emperor was captured and torn apart by horses. The Hyperboreans staged a massacre in the capital, killing up to 200,000 Quetzalians. The organized massacre caused a powerful resonance in all other states. Sigurd the Redbeard was declared a "bloodthirsty assassin". Less than a week later, Hyperborea declared war on Punt, and then on the Majahal Empire. The Majakhalis occupied southern Asiana, and the troops of Punta began to seize Pelasgiana. The attacks came mainly from the sea. Mu's army has not yet entered the war. But Emperor Ashihira announced a general mobilization in all provinces.
Hyperborea had to wage war on 3 fronts at once. Punta's army was defeated near the city of Mycenae and driven back to Libya. The troops of the Majakhal king Pirham were defeated in Asian at Mount Gi-Malay. Sigurd's army, meanwhile, launched an offensive against South Quetzali. There, the Hyperboreans faced the Emperor of the South, the White Eagle. Local resistance was fierce. On one occasion, the White Eagle army even destroyed a 40,000-strong Hyperborean corps. The troops of South Quetzali did not spare their enemies. More than 20,000 prisoners were scalped.

But Emperor Ragnwald sent reinforcements to Sigurd. As a result, the army of the White Eagle was completely destroyed in the Nazca desert. The Hyperboreans intensified the onslaught, capturing all the possessions of South Quetzali. Soon, news of a conspiracy against the Black Eagle spread. Emperor Quetzali was killed, and the minister, Achkulapaketak, who came, recognized the state as a vassal of Hyperborea. Resistance in South Quetzali ceased completely.
Emperor Ashihira was furious with the state of affairs. He received a special blow from the Majakhal king, who changed his mind and abandoned the Mu protectorate. Majahal's army, under pressure from Hyperborea, went over to the side of Ragnwald. Soon the kings of Punta did the same. The Puntian king Hasdrubal also swore allegiance to Hyperborea. It is believed that he did this only for the sake of his own people, as he feared that the Hyperboreans would seize his continent. The armies of Punta and Majahal immediately came under the control of Ragnwald. The emperor of Hyperborea seriously thought about the conquest of Mu, but did not manage to live to see further campaigns. He died suddenly, after which power passed to Sigurd. Since Ragnwald had no sons (perhaps the action of Mu magic?), Sigurd took power, who declared himself regent. He did not hesitate, but immediately gave the order to advance on the northern possessions of Mu.
By that time, the government had also changed in Mu. The throne went to the new 20-year-old emperor, Kaneshira Takatoa Umamoto of the Moai dynasty. Young Kaneshira, without hesitation, struck first. He ordered the priests to read a spell in a forbidden language from the mysterious Book of the Dead Ki-Ara (this artifact is at least several million years old). The book itself has long been kept in the palace of the city of Kamui-Moa, and where exactly - no one knew. After reading the spell, a whole series of devastating tsunamis occurred on Earth. The elements destroyed many coastal cities. Huge waves completely submerged Majahal under the water. Also, tsunamis swept along the coast of Quetzali. As a result, the death toll has reached 200 million. The expeditionary force of Hyperborea, prepared in western Quetzali for an attack on Mu, was destroyed. Sigurd himself was killed.
Then a representative from the old dynasty came to power, the heir to Ragnwald through his father named Olaf Magnusson. Olaf followed Sigurd's lead and began preparing a second assault force to invade Mu. But it was not the Hyperboreans who started the war. On Kaneshira's orders, Mu's army launched the attack first. The offensive went all over Asiana. The huge armies of Mu invaded the domain of Punta. Part of the fleet cruised the Moa Ocean and landed troops in South Quetzali.
Things were going well for Mu at first. By order of Kaneshira, the second spell from the Book of the Dead was read. The army of Hyperborea, trained in the possessions of Western Unangan (present-day Alaska), was also destroyed by the tsunami. As a result of the cataclysm, another 30 million people died across the planet. The southern part of Daariya was demolished. It was because of this that the Da'ari people came to hate the inhabitants of Mu. 10 regiments of Daaria, led by General Fin-Finguine Komnall, immediately entered the service of Emperor Olaf. Komnall conducted a series of military operations and completely eliminated Mu's military groups in Punta. This was followed by the invasion of the Hyperboreans in the possession of northern Mu, in the Honolul region (modern Hawaii). Kaneshira ordered to strengthen the coastal defenses to prevent an invasion from the ocean. But then Olaf himself got down to business. He chanted an incantation in an ancient runic language, and caused the most powerful snowfalls in the territory of Honolul. Unaccustomed to the cold, Kaneshira's soldiers were chilled to the bone.



The Hyperboreans quickly landed in North Mu and captured Honolul in two weeks. Then a full-scale offensive began on both sides. Emperor Olaf ordered to split the offensive army into two parts - the Army of Komnall (Daaria Corps) and the Army of Thorgeir. Thorgeir was the name of one of the generals of Hyperborea, who led the attack from the north. Parts of the battle mages from Tula were mobilized and immediately sent to northern Mu.
Komnall managed to dislodge the troops of General Catatoa Luakaofu from the possessions of Asiana. Luakaofu committed suicide by performing the kara-kiri ritual, which was typical for many of Mu's generals. Mu's army was utterly defeated off the coast of Malaying (present-day western Malaysia). Thorgeir pushed through the Mu defenses in the northern parts, and increased the onslaught on Ainu-Shinobi, a large province of Mu.
Then Emperor Kaneshira decided on a new fraudulent move. He ordered the priests and scientists to activate a secret weapon of an unknown civilization, which had long been stored in the bowels of the sleeping volcano Fuji. The gun was put on alert and put into action. This led to fatal consequences. A powerful energy impulse completely destroyed North, the capital of Hyperborea. But Kaneshira played it safe and used the second weapon - Yamata, hidden deep inside the ocean. The fiery spear that flew out headed towards Tula. As a result, a vast part of the land in the Northern Ocean was completely flooded. The destruction of the capital of Hyperborea led to chaos. Nevertheless, the great Mount Meru, on which the rituals of local priests were performed, survived. And the Hyperboreans took it as a divine miracle.
Emperor Olaf fell, and with him the entire government of Hyperborea. However, the Hyperboreans did not flinch. A Provisional Ruling Council was formed, called the Great Ting. The Tingarmanns (Councilors) appointed Torgeir as the supreme housecarl-commander-in-chief of the entire army. Thorgeir and Komnall stepped up their advance on Mu. The Galleons of Hyperborea approached the shores of eastern Mu. A massive coastal shelling began. The Drakkars immediately began to land thousands of ax-bearers. Fighting broke out throughout the continent of Mu. The Hyperboreans managed to capture the Sacred Moai (Rapa Nui), where local emperors made pilgrimages. The Great Idols of the Moai came under the control of the Hyperboreans.
Soon, the Hyperboreans were already in the Fuji region, where there was another sacred city of Mu. General Tosigara Pangayan tried to organize resistance. His commanders intended to re-use the same weapon of ancient times. But as the priests claimed, it was already impossible to activate it without the absence of "some elements". The Fuji area was taken over. Tosigara fell in battle at the hands of the Hyperborean berserker Skaldmar.
In the future, the Hyperboreans preferred to first bombard enemy cities with cannons, and only then allow close combat. Thorgeir and Komnall united in the southern Ainu region and created a powerful group of 400,000 warriors. The combined army of Hyperborea defeated several more generals of Mu. Soon the capital of the empire, Kamui-Moai, was under siege. The city was bombarded with howitzers and catapults for four days. After that, the capital surrendered. Emperor Kaneshira committed suicide along with his entire family and military leaders. They were unwilling to admit the shame of defeat.
After the capture of Kamui-Moai, Hyperborea officially announced the victory over the Empire of the Ocean of Mu. The flag of the Hyperboreix Empire was raised over the capital of the former state. Thorgeir and Komnall were declared heroes of the empire. They were awarded the titles "jarl-gesitfas", which meant they were close to the level of the monarch.
Less than a week later, a new emperor, Hrolf Bjorningson, ascended the throne of Hyperborea. He ordered to spare the inhabitants of the conquered Mu and not to assimilate their culture. He proposed the idea of ​​peaceful interaction with the former Mu Empire. Still, the locals did not want to recognize the strangers.
On Hrolf's orders, the Mu Ocean was searched for Emperor Kaneshira's secret weapon. But they did not find what they wanted. Therefore, for the Hyperboreans it remained a secret where exactly the Mu military kept such a destructive weapon capable of sweeping entire cities and islands off the face of the Earth.
However, Mu's resistance still persisted. It is known that six months after the capture of Kamui-Moai, the brothers Tuvalau and Kualu from South Mu rose up against the Hyperboreans. They assembled an army of 500,000 in the Papaua regions (now New Guinea and Australia). Tuvalau died in the first battle and was killed at the hands of Torgeir. Kuala led an army of "black avengers", which consisted mainly of black residents of southern Mu. But his attempt to reclaim the land remained unsuccessful. The Hyperborean army of General Matilda Hersirberg lured Kuala's army into a deadly trap. All the warriors of Southern Mu were killed in the battle at the Breach of Death (now the Mariana Trench). This was the end of the resistance of the residents.
But still, the subsequent Hyperborean rulers no longer attempted to exterminate the population of Mu.
Over time, the inhabitants of Mu and their culture began to strongly influence the Hyperboreans. The same thing happened in the lands of Quetzali and Punta. Later, the democratization of Hyperborean society laid the foundation for new relations between peoples. In 22,000 BC, the Hyperborean emperor Thorin II made an official apology to the inhabitants of Quetzali and Mu, who suffered at the hands of the invaders. By the 21st millennium BC, traces of the former enmity practically did not appear. However, among the inhabitants of Mu there were still people who hated the Hyperboreans.
Soon, the Hyperborean Empire reached the stars and began to represent a large galactic state. Old problems gradually came to naught, giving way to a new progressive society.
