Marafire History

The history of Marafire is intertwined with the history of a larger region known as The Samasana Rain Fields which includes the lands west and south of Samasana, especially the tropical, subtropical, and temperate forests where the Re species is believed to originate.

Marafire is home to one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating back to at least 1500 BFC.

Second Tribal Period

Federal Period

Republican Age
Marafire is extremely mountainous and half covered in dense swamp. This terrain is easily defensible and there has not been a military threat from outsiders in over a century. This has lead to military enrollment gradually but consistently dropping over time.

1st Century SFC
The federal government enacted a policy where each city-state is required to offer support to their communes in order to train and arm the militias. This policy ensured that the military remained strong and healthy despite a drop in enrollment.

Early in the first decade SFC, Woobian explorers found their way to the Fune province. They were welcomed by a commune on the Tisiki river, where they were introduced to the light and versatile bone knives and daggers used there. A bone trade was soon established with The Water Ooga Boogan Dominion of Woobia.
