Ancient Authena

The Authenai were a water-type oriented civilization that existed roughly 1700 years ago, around the 30th century, until the 37th. In the early times of their existence, a like-minded group of them founded the city that was to become their center, Authena, and it was they who conceived the idea of a "city state". During the course of their life, the Authenai generated many contributions to the fundamental political systems that are found today in Sonara, the ideal of freedom of speech and the philosophy of individualism. A beacon of sentience amongst the wild Pokémon that lived in Sonara during that time, the modern-day Sonareans are proud to be their descendants.

While Authena was built in the middle of Sonara, during their militant days, the Authenai expanded their civilization to most of the Oras region, and even the Bola region. Traces of them have been found in some of the islands of Carajol, as well as the Coastal Antara within the Oras region.

Their immense cultural and techmaturgical progress fed their ever growing ambition for reaching as far in the world as they could - that led them to cross the Far Across Zone from the Bola region to then unexplored Hakiwara region, believing that it was empty for all its quietness. However, the Empire of human-likes lay in the Hakiwara region, and when the Authenai invaded, they fought back.

Despite the strength and size of the Authenaic civilization, they were wiped and their city in Sonara was destroyed during the aftermath of the War of the Second Sun. The Empire of human-likes summoned the Behemoth, Groudon, in their defense, and the world was brought into peril because of the unrelenting sunlight it caused. The Authenaic cities, mostly made to function with the flow of the rivers and sea, dried up and the civilization withered.
