Etymology
Acording to this intepretation, Andrar derives from the ancient Imani term "Andur-ahr", which loosely translates as "land of winds and stone." In this context, "Andur" meant "wind" or "spirit of the air," while "ahr" referred to rocky or elevated terrain. This etymology is consistent with the central highlands, where windswept plateaus and rocky outcrops define the landscape. Ancient hymns and inscriptions found on the wind steles when describing sacred lands and pilgrimage sites.

The earliest habitants of Andrar were indigenous groups who settled primarily in the river basin of Ordá, Mersat and yali rivers. These poeples developed advanced terance farming tehniques, taking advantage of seasonal waters, and doesticated animals adapted to arid and tropical climates.

Imani period (6th-12th century)
between the 6th and 12th century, a confederation of imani tribes migrated fron sourthen uletha, crossing the Dematisna straig to settle in andrar's central highlands. These peoples brought significant cultural developments: a complex consonantal script engraved on stone and waxed wooden tables, dome architecture and walled gardens inspiredby oases of their origin, and advanced hydraulic systems based on undergound canals, allowing more stable agriculture and semi-arid areas.
Imasi social organizacion was tribal yet fexible, with clans maintaining relative autonomy under the autority of a council of elders and local leaders managing caravan trade and political alliances. These caravans traveled transregional routes, connecting Andrar with distant parts of Tarephia and Sourthern Uletha, fostering early cosmopolitanism.
