 Following the collapse of [[Age of Colyan-Ar|Colyan-Ar]], Gnollish tribes from Samoyadia began to migrate along the Barents coast and inland along the river courses, creating numerous settlements between 350 and 500 AD.  As the tribes consolidated their power during the next three centuries, they drove out other races, warring over territory and establishing their dominance over the northern forest.  Following 150 years of war against the ogres of Bulgrastan that reached into the middle 10th century, gnoll tribes undertook to seize lands in modern day Gaa-Kaa, which initiated nearly 300 years of war between elves and gnolls, with the former having to surrender their eastern lands due to conflicts with Swedes, Finns and Latvians in the west.
-Establishing a coalition in 1073, since which time the tribes have elected a ceremonial king without nominal powers, Bjarmaland has continued to strengthen cooperation between its tribes.  Although constant hostilities against the elves ended in the early 14th century, gnoll-driven wars against Bulgrastan and Ulthua continue into the present; and in the last hundred years, gnollish predation has been felt along the northern forests of Moskovy as well.
