Aradashe's history goes back roughly 2500 years. Very little written material exists before the founding of Ifera in the first year of the current calendar (the beginning of Daimati -- the "Age of the New Wind").

In the early years of Aradashe, before history began, most people lived in tribes. Some traded peacefully, others vied for power in regions rich with agriculture and minerals. Agriculture brought towns and cities, first along the southern coast of Mehame, then along inland bodies of water. Leadership was by the local shaman, who could communicate directly with nature, and more importantly, the various parts of their god spread all over the land, in rivers, mountains, trees, rocks, the seas, etc. It seemed that their god was in everything, but had no central location. Until one day.

One cannot recount Aradashean history without tying it directly to the Hatimaka. The first divine priest known as the Hatimaka ("Divine Puzzle") lived two thousand years before the Daimati Era. Legend says he was born in a hollow of a begala tree, later named Pazimaka, which still lives in 2400. He was born as a young boy only the size of a begala fruit.

By Daimati, the Hatimaka was a singular high priest in a temple at the foothills of the Akatsu Mountains in present-day Karuna. He was a figure of mystery and legend, a direct descendent of the boy born in a tree, and seen by the general public only on holy days and special occasions.

In 302, the Hatimaka set up a capital in Uyamara, on the seacoast. This began the Uyamara Dynasty. During this era, the Hatimaka became increasingly like an emperor or pope. The lands under his domain were mostly in Mehame, but expanded into Suhai over the years. By the end of the era, the Hatimaka moved the capital to a more central location in Majishi, on Lake Isheda.

Ironically, after the move, the Hatimaka's power grew weaker as regional warlords grew stronger. He became little more than a figurehead during the Majishi Era.

After a major civil war that caused great instability across Aradashe, the Hatimaka moved the capital again, this time to the holy city of Ifera. To keep a central powerbase, an adminstrative capital was established in Chude, on the Suyaga Sea. By setting up his capital in Ifera, the new Hatimaka was associating himself with the Hatimakas of legendary times. He was now acknowledged once again as a demigod, the human personification of the Puzzle God.
