| abstract | - The Yeudi people are part of the Qedarite (Semitic) group of ethnicities, and they trace their origins to the Qedarite Migrations (c. 3500 BCE - c. 500 BCE). The Yeudis became a separate ethnic group with the founding of Yeudism in Cildania in c. 500 BCE. Spurred on by their new religion of Yeudism they had left in search of the promised land eventually arriving in Beiteynu. The idea of a promised land had come from a revelation had by a young boy in which he claimed Elyon spoke to him the following words; It is unclear about whether Beiteynu was their planned destination especially seeing as olive trees are only prominent on the eastern side of the nation. This had led many recent historians to claim they were actually searching for what is now Pontesi. As the journey was done on boats via Malivia and Darnussia is quite likely they would have simply bypassed Pontesi and arrived in Beiteynu with it being their first experience of Western Majatra. Whether the arrival in Beiteynu was planned or not the travellers arrived in approximately 484 BCE and quickly began settling down. The Yeudi tribes were soon afterwards brought under the political authority of the Qedarite Empire, but the Yeudi religion continued to thrive under Qedarite rule. Tribal groups soon began appointing high ranking members as High Priests. One such High Priest was Eliyahu, who was considered heretical by the Yeudi establishment, and deposed and exiled, leading to the creation of Hosianism as a distinct religion. After the fall of the Qedarite Empire the Yeudi tribes regained their independence, and were brought under the rule of Rebbes, replacing the High Priests as the leaders of the Yeudi religion. In the west of Padrilka large groups began uniting under the banner of the recently pronounced Ishmael I and started consolidating power over the region. By the 900's they had secured all of what is now Beiteynu as well as a large part of northern Barmenistan and western Pontesi. In 908 the Chief Rebbe of Padrilka proclaimed Ishmael I to be Sacred Monarch of the Kingdom of Beiteynu.
