Until its transformation into Imperial Russia and subsequent downfall in the 20th century, Chernarus would remain in this state for a total of two more centuries. The continued expansion of the Tsardom of Russia in the 17th century would see Chernarus annexed and (willingly) absorbed into the growing empire. Controlled by its ruler, Taras Kozub, Chernarus remained in this state until 1631. In the 13th century however, Kozlov's Principate was dissolved completely following its destruction at the hands of the Kozub dynasty. The castle - which was eventually sacked a century later, was named as such in legacy of his honour. Remnants of civilisation dating back to the Middle Ages are scattered throughout the forests of Chernarus.Īt the turn of the 12th century, the local population fell under the control of a dukedom led by a man named Kozlov, who was considered to be the founder of the first Chernarussian state.įor the purpose of protecting vital trade routes though the region which often fell under attack by raiders from the sea and marauders from the north, Kozlov constructed a castle over the peak of the Pik Kozlova mountains. Due to constant raids by marauders from the southwest, the local Slavic population was traditionally tied to Russia for security reasons but acted independently of the Russian monarchy.
Divided from the Zagorie region by the Black Mountains ridge, it was at the time under the dominion of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. What would eventually become the centre of modern Chernarus was founded along the delta of the river Burnaya (as well as along the coast). The first settlements in the region date back to 5th century BCE, when the valleys of the Burnaja and Svetlaya were inhabited by a mixture of ancient Skyth tribes and nomadic groups.
