Nalthis was created at an unknown date, but it is not old enough to have had fossils form on it.{{book ref|sa4|15}} The [[Nalthian system|system]] was settled by [[Endowment]], who remains the sole [[Shard]] in the system.{{wob ref|1120}} It is unknown when exactly humans arrived to the system,{{wob ref|1086}} but they brought with them myths about [[dragon (cosmere)|dragons]].{{wob ref|1346}} A [[Perpendicularity]] formed on the world, and near it the [[Tears of Edgli]] began to grow.{{wob ref|13871}}
Early in its history the nation of [[Chedesh]] dominated the world, and their sailors eventually reached the area that would later become known as [[Hallandren]]. The region was already inhabited by the [[Pahn Kahl]], but they were dismissed as not a 'true' nation. While there the Chedens discovered the [[Tears of Edgli]] for the first time. As the nation explored this new continent, they headed northwards; one Cheden died during the trip and became the first [[Returned]]. Remembered by the title "the First Returned", [[Vo]] declared the [[Five Visions]] and then died a week later. The men on his ship received his message and founded the kingdom of [[Hanald]]. They chose Vo's wife as the first monarch, beginning the Idrian royal line. This new kingdom quickly grew lucrative due to the Tears of Edgli, and their monopoly on the dyes allowed them to become a powerful economic force.{{book ref|wb|32}}
For most of their history the inhabitants of the planet were unaware of the art of [[Awakening]]. The death of Vo helped begin exploration into this art, which was only discovered some four centuries prior to the events of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]].{{book ref|wb|32
=== The Manywar ===
Three hundred years after the arrival of Vo,{{book ref|wb|32}} these Returned would be renamed as [[Vasher|Talaxin]] and [[Shashara]] respectively and joined with other Returned{{wob ref|5839}} [[Arsteel]], [[Yesteel]], and [[Denth|VaraTreledees]] to form the [[Five Scholars]]. The years preceding the Manywar were ones of quick discovery about Awakening led by the Scholars.{{book ref|wb|32}} Beyond this, some of them became [[worldhoppers]].{{wob ref|1737}} Their discoveries about Awakening and their exploration of the [[cosmere]] cemented the legacy of these Nalthians as early scholars of the cosmere by those at [[Silverlight]].{{wob ref|1548}}
Tensions between Hanald and its neighbors began to grow due to a wide variety of factors

Despite the increase in tensions, however, the Manywar was not properly triggered by any one of these factors. Instead, a Returned had a vision about an upcoming war and told Talaxin about it,{{book ref|wb|32}} who in turn spread the news to those in the nation of Hanald.
In response to this, several nations joined Kuth and Huth to form a coalition known as the [[Pahn Unity]]

Shortly afterwards Kalad and Shashara decided to attempt to create a [[Shardblade]], which they had seen on [[Roshar]], using Awakening. After a period of research, the pair created the sword known as [[Nightblood]].{{wob ref|4283}}{{wob ref|3216}}{{wob ref|2650}} The first battle that Nightblood was used in was the [[Battle of Twilight Falls]], where he was wielded by Shashara. The battle served as the

==== Resolution of the Manywar ====
The Idrian royal family did not return to Hallandren but instead remained in exile to the mountains of the north, where they formed the nation of [[Idris]]

In the three hundred years following the Manywar, the kingdom of Hallandren prospered under its new government, although over time corruption seeped in.{{book ref|wb|32}}{{wob ref|4495}} Relations between Hallandren and Idris worsened over the years, as the northern passes Idris had control over were very tempting targets for Hallandren.
Over the centuries the control and subjugation of the Pahn Kahl people grew worse. Their oppression over time reached the stage in which many presumed its unique culture was extinct and thought that they also worshiped the Returned.{{book ref|wb|14}}{{wob ref|6964}} As the years went on, its people grew tired of their position in Hallandren society and the few lowly jobs they were offered.{{book ref|wb|55}}{{book ref|wb|54}}
=== The Pahn Kahl Rebellion ===
==== Vahr's Rebellion ====
Another Pahn Kahl, [[Vahr]], prematurely began his own rebellion against Hallandren. He had spent a decade getting the contacts needed for it{{book ref|wb|31}}{{wob ref|6020}} and had persuaded his fellow workers to grant him their Breaths so that he could grow in power
{{image|Warbreaker Prologue by CarloswkArt.jpg|side=right|height=200px|[[Vasher]] stealing Vahr's [[Breath]] before killing him}}
Fearing this rebellion would draw too much attention to his own efforts, Bluefingers leaked Vahr's location to the Hallandren authorities and had him arrested.{{wob ref|6983}}
==== Bluefingers' Manipulation ====
By this time VaraTreledees had renamed himself Denth and began working for Bluefingers to help cause the war.{{wob ref|6723}}

Siri's arrival at the Court of Gods created a different set of worries. It was speculated by some that the last-second swap may have been planned from the start and that deferring to the Idrian monarchy actually undermined their authority rather than strengthened it.{{book ref|wb|7}}{{book ref|wb|12}}
