The Vrideni's journey across the Darterre ocean was an extremely long and trying one that tested them many times over. Before the journey there had been stories of other lands, places they could carve new lives for themselves, and they often wondered why no people from these other lands made the journey to Vriden. Many concluded that no other people existed, and whatever land they ended on would be their for the taking. After some time upon the open water they begun to wonder if these other land existed and even if they did they now understood why they might have chosen not to make the voyage across the Darterre. The further they got onto open waters the more volatile nature of the Darterre revealed itself. After approximately a year upon the water they landed upon Ainoya, and it was around a year after this that they discovered the natives. This first encounter marked the hostility that existed between the two people for the centuries to come.
The years found countries rising and falling, but what remains to be true is the separation of the Ainoyan and the Vrideni. Each and every nation claim heritage of one or the other, and each claim to observe custom and traditions of their ancestors. Unlike those who reminded behind on the continent of Vriden, this is regarded as more likely true as while the Vrideni found themselves having to start over Ainoya's less hostile environment made the preservation of custom and traditions to be more possible. Through, it is believed that time had altered them to fit the current times, and some countries seem to be closer to ancient society than others. Still it is believed observing any nation of Ainoya gives a better insight to what ancient society might have been like than observing the nations Vriden
While majority of the nations claim Vrideni heritage, any active attempt to absorb the others have been silenced as those with Ainoyan heritage made it clear that drastic measures will be taken to ensure that this doesn't happen and the Vrideni decided not to test to see if Ainoyan threats were serious or not. Conflict still exist upon Ainoyan, but it is no longer the result of one race trying to absorb or annihilate the other. In fact, five of the six nations that claim Ainoyan heritage have made political alliances through marriages with various Vrideni nations. The six nations that claim Ainoyan heritage are as followed: Kvegrod, Ostrye, Pethor, Rechon, Sedre, and Trauze. It would be a mistake to assume that the remain nations are of Vrideni heritage. Through, some might argue that claiming the Lehamani--or Sohirah as they call their land--as a nation is laughable. Whatever one's opinion on the Lehamani they are a recognized people who claim neither Vrideni or Ainoyan heritage. Some claim that this is because they are a perfect blend of both. Others say that they are neither and the Lehamani had migrated to Ainoya from yet another continent.
