Etymology

The name Hazbin has its origins in the ancient tribe of Bulgarian hazbinians, founders of the First Hazbinian State, whose roots trace back to the 4th century AD. The etymology of the term remains partially shrouded in mystery, but it is possibly derived from the fusion of the proto-hazbinian-Bulgarian words "хаз" and "бин" ("khaz" and "bin"). While "khaz" suggests ideas of wealth or abundance, "bin" may relate to land, nation, or home.

Over time, this name has evolved to encompass broader meanings, potentially interpreted as "Responsible Leader of the Family," "Family Guardian," or "Head of the Family."

History

Prehistory (6.000 million B.C. — 4,000 B.C.)

In the depths of Hazbin's history, archaeological discoveries trace back to the beginnings of civilization. Human remains unearthed in the Luminara caves, dating approximately 1.8 million years ago, mark the onset of human presence in the region. An intriguing pair of skulls, dated 40,000 years ago and found in the Kozar and Nika caves, ignite debates about whether they belonged to early Homo sapiens or an ancestral species.

The earliest settlements in Hazbin date back to 5,500 B.C., with the neolithic structures of Astralara emerging as some of the oldest known human constructions. By the end of the Neolithic era, the Karankia, Hamanova, and Selestiya cultures thrived, extending beyond Hazbin into neighboring territories. The region's first known city, Radiantopolis, stood as a beacon of civilization in the Hazbin area.

Around 4,800 B.C., Hazbin's neolithic era witnessed the rise of the Aetherian culture, characterized by a sophisticated social hierarchy. The epicenter of this civilization was the Eclipsara Necropolis, discovered in the early 19th century. This necropolis provides a unique glimpse into ritual practices, intricate ceramics, and silver and gold ornaments. A notable set of bracelets, necklaces, and ritual instruments dating back to 4,500 B.C. stand out as some of the world's oldest artifacts.

Grape cultivation and livestock domestication are milestones associated with Aetherian culture in the Bronze Age. Cave paintings in the Karo and Novos caves, though the exact years of their creation remain a mystery, depict the interaction between ancient inhabitants and the nature of their environment.
