Belridian cultures devoloped along with ancient Mahirtosian, an ancient Aphrinian culture, early Cantorian, early Ventaliccian and Galliusian settlements on the peninsula until it came under rule of the Piglin King, Nocturiel's underling. For nearly a century the peninsula was conquered by the Piglin forces. Until a magic user by the name of Marino under guidance of the angels drove away the evil forces and banished them to the Nether. This awarded him sainthood and his birth town was renamed Santo Marino. However the aftermath of this war against evil had most lands to be taken by the Gotheria Empire. The occupation by the Gotheria Empire lasted until the early 14th century, in which a unified Escaloña under the Cadrielist Monarchs led by king Fernando of Santicadrel and queen Celestina of Madregrial began the reclamation movement. After being freed from the Gotheria Empire these smaller kingdoms united back to Escaloña. The two largest regions were unified by marriage. After the reclamation and further unification, the Escaloñians began setting their sights on sailing beyond the known waters, even funding a fleet for the explorer sir Raul Borzal; who discovered the southern half of the "New World". His discovery of that "New World" has allowed more ships to set sail for conquest of new lands. And in just a few centuries Escaloña has expanded into a major global power thanks to their colonies in Borcalia.
