Noadi Civilization

The Noadi Civilization is one of the earliest civilizations in Deysachni history, begining unknown millenia ago in the northeastern mountains. Long thought to be mythic, scholars began to consider they were a real civilization upon finding transcripts from the later Tsolag Civilization that refer to Noad as a historical predecesor, and commonalities between the Komlot and Thu-Cubaisha artifacts, implying a common ancestry. Solid evidence of Noad was discovered in 63 PC, in the form of Pseudoabjad glyphs found in a cave.

Tsolagi Accounts

According to surviving tablets from the Tsolag scribal tradition, Noad was revered as their earliest predeccessors, "several hundred generations" prior to Komlot. The Noadi were said to have begun as a travelling people, coming to the Drokabroldni Range from an unknown southern land and intermingling with the pre-komlotic people. The Noadi spoke an unknown language, and brought with them the development of agriculture and civilization. Following their settlement in the region. they founded a loose confederation of city-states, each ruled by a council of spiritual elders and a wise tyrant. The Noadi tyrants fought frequently, and over "eighty seven generations of short-lived men", power was slowly consolodated among a smaller number of larger cities, forming primative empires. The final unification of the region was under a man named Bohmboh'oh (all Noad vowels are rendered as being schwa; the Tsolagi scribes claimed that the Noadi script marked vowels, but did not mark what they were). Bohmboh'oh was succeded by llohsohyohlsoh, a relative of some sort, who was usurped by Goh'ohdoh, who was succeded by a Bohmboh'oh II, then Ohpohtohno, Wohfoh'ohmboh'oh, Goh'ohdoh II, Roohhfohd, and finally No'adsoh (how the vowels in this name are known is itself unknown). It is said that by the time of No'adsoh, the Noadi had grown corrupt and sinful, and were punished with a great famine, leading to unrest and chaos that saw the royal line be killed, and the survivng Noadi flee again.

For most of Deysachni history, it was thought that the Tsolagi accounts were mythic, intending to tell a tale of hubris and the shortcomings of imperial rule. it is possible that even the later Tsolagi believed it a myth, as most surviving documents intentionally have the arrival and departure of the Noadi mirror one another, implying a cyclic narrative. In the 2nd century, early Tsolagi manuscripts were recovered, which recounted the Noadi in a dry, historical account, just prior to discussing Komlot, lending credence to the idea that Noad was a real location.

Glyph discovery

In 63 PC, an excavation of a cave in Dzhiie F'm found a large collection of carved glyphs, a small set of which was quickly identified as a kings list. Following cross referecing with known sources, it was found to be highly likely to be the Noadi tyrants, with pseudoabjadal characters spelling BMBʔ LSYLS GʔD BMBʔ PTN WFʔMBʔ GʔD RFD RTʔDW FʔʔSM BMBʔ.
