Proto-Moigthe is the name for the group tribes related ethnically and linguistically who became the Moigthe. Their period is dated from 3,000 AS to 1,000 AS, roughly two thousand years. During this period, the Proto-Moigthe tribes underwent cultural changes from Ersercean Tribes into Moigthe Tribes. Their migrations helped precipitate the collapse of the Malesggite Culture and brought the death blow to the remnants of the Neptultchi (Tuadbe) Civilization, already well into decline. The Migrations of the Proto-Moigthe are part of the overall migrations of Gwenyan Peoples from western central Asdauria into Pytharnia, Vindalia (Throvy and Corundy), and the Pallathantic Sea.

Many agricultural centers existed in southern Pytharnia, established by the giants and later the Neptultchi. The Moigthe overtook these. Middle Pytharnia, to the north was (and still is) a warren of forestation occupied and coveted by the elves.

Dúrandwor consists of subject chiefdoms of the Giants, vassals to the Neptultchi. Coasts consist of disenfranchised Neptultchi nobles who raise flotillas of pirate ships to pillage the isles of the Pallathantic Sea. By the time the Proto-Moigthe arrive, the giants have rebelled or emigrated and the Neptultchi serf caste (compare Tuadbe) are living in small communities.

Chronology

  • Proto-Moigthe emigrate from Erserce into Ambrulia, some by land, but most by sea, ca. 3,050 AS to 1,900 AS, displacing the native giants and trolls. Erserce has become over-populated for a pastoral, semi-nomadic civilization and also ravaged by wars (Arisparikohos). Migrations into Ambrulia occur in three waves, roughly 3,100 AS, 2,300 AS, and 1,900 AS.
  • Proto-Moigthe, push in great exodus into eastern Pytharnia, under pressure from Ambrulian Proto-Moigthe Tribes, who are in turn under pressure from uhlaks, pressing to the west, ca. 1,450 AS to 950 AS.
  • At this point, ca 1,000 AS, historians regard them as the Moigthe. They continue to migrate westwards across southern Pytharnia, 950 AS to 100 AS.
