Enjoy as this took alot of research (especially from other Spec evo artists and creators such as Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres, Alex's Reis's Birrin and the Yaetuan Saga by Christian Cline)

might as well make a spec evo project outta ts

Ok lore starts here

Prehistoric Times

The oldest known records of Maloan evolution goes back 12.5 MYA, Proto-Maloans dwelled on the great rainforrest, using their complex brain to navigate the treetops and eat worm-like animals, fruits and occasionally, small creatures

Eventually, a climatological disaster known as the Great Scorch, an event where multiple supervolcanoes erupted all over Malo, occured.
Many forests, Especially those around the equator vanished, Global temperatures started to decrease due to Ash blocking out most of the sunlight.

Whilst many species faced extinction during this cataclysmic time, a Group of Proto-Maloans (Aedificatores Genera/A. Genera) evolved to be more ground-dwelling and upright, still retaining their intelligence

5 Million Years Later, and the first True Maloans (Aedificatores Maloo/A. Maloo) started to appear, at first they were a mix of hunters and gatherers, Using their tools and stratergies to take down bigger and more agressive game, one of the largest and well know of these groups were the Indicum Trichon (Indigo People), The Indicum Trichon was a very advanced tribe for it's time, spanning the entire continent of Ekron. These people were the first to domesticate the Ganjin (Ganjin Robustus/G. Robustus), which through decades of selective breeding eventually became The House Ganjin (Ganjin Domesticus/G. Domesticus)

100,000 BCT (Before common time)

(The embers of knowledge)

Continent-wide migrations later, and proper Maloan society starts to form, as Farming, Culture, Religion and Medicine are discovered. with this newfound knowledge, many Civilizations start to form, one of the largest of these is the Aneru Civilization, named after the Lake it was discovered in. The Aneru Civilization had many Temples and Statues worshipping gods and spirits, Most notably, Anoo. The Aneru Civilization also had giant sundials used to tell the time and primitive forms of currency (in the form of gold) and writing, The Aneru Civilization mainly relied on Agriculture to feed it's many residents and economy, but droughts and invasions from other colonies brought this once might Civilization to it's downfall.

Despite this, the embers of Maloan life continue on, as many more discoveries await later

50,000 BCT

(The torches of dawn)

As fire is utilized for the first time. Titanic citadels tower over ruins of Civilizations long ago. The Ekron Empire is now born, The Ekron empire has many more discoveries and advancements than before, Whilst most other empires around the time such as the Kalash Empire or the Gnuu Empire mainly have no way to go beyond their continents and expand their borders even more, the Ekron empire use primitive boats to travel to other continents such as Orska and Neighboring islands,
The Ekron Empire also had a more centralist government, focusing more on the elite and upper-classed than the working class. Which led to a few rebellions and crime in some districts.
The Ekron Empire also had one of the strongest armies around the time, which is one of the main reasons that allowed their territory to expand far,
The Ekron Empire also formed a large trade route that went all the way to the Shiro Kingdom in Orii Called the Ice Road, the Ice Road went all the way across Beros, it was an often brutal and diffcult path due to freezing temperatures and Bandits often looking for trade caravans to loot

Another equally awe-inspiring civilization around this time was the Pelo Civilization, a much more expansive civillization covering most of the eastern landmasses and islands in the Ariina Ocean, The Pelo Civilization used rafts to form colonies and live off the land, The Pelo Civilization had a deep connection with nature and the sea, believing that all Life eventually returns to it. They're the Second most powerful empire around the time

by 43,000 BCT, Due to mistreatment, harsh punishment, deathly plagues and new religions, many city-states and villages reblled, causing The Ekron Empire to eventually split up and fall apart into 9 Diffrent nations
