Pre-History and Roman Times
The Zapadrus' people originate from the steppes of Kazakhstan, where they lived as slaves of the Scythians. During the Slavic immigration they rebelled and joined the Slavs in their westward course. They settled in Latvia, where they founded a community where it eventually became modern day Riga.

Middle Ages
The first important event after those times was the Livonian invasion. The Livonian Order arrived at the Zapadrus’ lands, pillaging their way and destroying the Zapadrus’ armies. The Zapadrus’ had to call for help from their Lithuanian allies and the Polish king. They managed to hold Riga and the surrounding lands, but lost the rest of the territory. They were helped by the commonwealth to regain their territory, but was betrayed and annexed. The Russians liberated them during their war with Poland. They often helped the Russians in their wars.
