Tudica

Tudica was a hilly, heavily wooded province of the Lythian Empire. Its administrative structure was absorbed into the Kingdom of Isgwen under Arkemador when the region was ceded to him by the empire.

Etymology
The name Tudica is derived from the Gwennish Tudos, meaning 'forest.'

The Gray Years
The Tudian peninsula was originally inhabited by Tudar imps. Though humans lived among them, they were significantly outnumbered until the arrival of the first Gwennish ships.

Gwennish settlement
Around A.L. 200, ships from the first Kingdom of Gwen arrived on the Tudian coast, bringing settlers who would establish the first colonies and begin driving the imps out of the region. These settlers, over time, would establish themselves as the native and sovereign people of Tudica for the next five hundred years.

Languages
Before Lythian conquest, Tudians mainly spoke a mixture of old Gwennish and Tudar impish. Lythian became the language of the upper classes after Tudica became a province. The common people largely retained their traditional languages and dialects until the reforms of Gwennish king Pelior III.
