Tushpites
The Tushpites are the indigenous populations of the Southern lands of the The Kingdom of Steplia bordering the Southern Mountains and the Kingdom of Brire . The Tushpites are related to the Sephenians and Wesdalandians to the North and West respectively. In fact they were the first ones who migrated to the South from of the Great Lakes (where these peoples originated from) during the Bronze Age, almost at the same time the The proto-Davidovian peoples began their migrations to the East and South.
They were famous for being the bravest human warriors of the South and because of that they were highly appreciate in the armies of the Sephenian Empire. They were and still are very skilled farmers, traders and metal workers. Despite their bravery and struggle for freedom, the Tushpites have suffered occupation after occupation by foreign powers. For 500 years they lived under the rule of their Sephenian cousins, later to be replaced by the Oronai during the 6th century AP. During the reign of the Oronai king Magas the Great the Tushpites were relatively peaceful, some considering Oronai rule better than the previous regime. But with the death of the great Oronai king and the split of his Empire in three different kingdom and the subsequent wars for supremacy between them, the Tushpites saw an opportunity for achieving freedom and independence. This was known as the Great Tushpite revolt that was quickly suffocated by Boros The Conqueror and many of the rebels were enslaved by the Oronai.
The final "nail to the coffin" for the Tushpites were the invasions of the Radali peoples from the West in the early 7th century AP, who assimilated or displaced much of the Sephenian population (as well as many Oronai settlers from their colonies) from the western territories of Tushpia. The remaining Tushpite population either fled to the Oronai colonies and mountains to the East or to the Kingdom of Brire to the South. As a result of this most of the Tushpite underwent a rapid process of Oronization that saw them adopting the Oronai culture and language. Because of that the native speakers of Tushpite have diminished considerably and thus their centuries old language is in danger of dying.
I think you accidentally copied some of the article into itself. Really fascinating history, so rich and deep. I like that the Tushpites overcame their precious oppression. Great article!
