Around 60,000 years ago was when the first Proto-Tavastian people most likely settled along the southern coast of Obets, however this date could be as early 120,000 kya or as late as 30,000 kya. The Tavastian ethnic group, which became dominant throughout the entirety of modern-day Obets, diverged roughly around this time. As few as 40 or as many as 150 different tribes, which often operated in small, clustered populations, could have emerged and established themselves throughout the first 58,000 years of eObet human history. Since ancient tribes in Obets never had a writing system, most historical knowledge before the 16th century is based on minimal archaeological data discovered in small tribes cities or towns.

Under a unified government, eObet explorers venture into islands across the Palena Ocean to trade. However, unity would not last long as a series of bloody civil wars took place from the 1650s to the 1690s, which eventually resulted in a fractured Obets yet again. In 1850, the knight Filip of Rovaniemi, living in the dwindling eObet Empire, sought to reunify the tribes after learning of a looming Lettonian presence. Filip of Rovaniemi would overwhelm, individual tribes, one by one, until all tribes surrendered to the Second eObet Empire, with the borders seen today. Despite Rovaniemi's reunification efforts, the Lettonian Empire invaded Obets twelve years after the first parliamentary election, and a swift conquest against no established army pursued...
