===
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, the region was split in half between [[Makabakam]] and [[Valhav]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
Due to the Desolations, they were constantly returned back to primitive technological levels, often to the point to making use of stone tools. Though they advanced each time with the help of the Heralds whenever they returned, often helping them to enter into the bronze age, often receiving this assistance from [[Kalak]] and his [[Willshapers]].{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}{{wob ref|13779}}
Despite Triax's strategic importance, it seemingly became a relatively obscure country over time. There were no known cities of note, although some trade did occur in the area. [[Vstim]] purchased wormy grain in Triax at a large discount knowing that he could sell it for a profit in other lands.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} [[Dalinar Kholin]] did not have first-hand experience with Triax and other nearby countries, indicating that the area was probably not affected by the many skirmishes between Jah Keved and [[Alethkar]] during his lifetime.{{book ref|sa4|71}}▼
=== Era of Solitude ===
At some point during the [[Era of Solitude]], the area that would later become Triax was invaded by the Veden king [[NanHar]], although he died during the war and was succeeded by his brother, [[NanKhet]]. NanKhet died only three months later, giving way to the [[Siln]] dynasty;{{book ref|sa3|53}} it is unknown if the Veden conquest of Triax was successful, and whether or not it came to be ruled by the Siln dynasty.

=== The True Desolation ===
During the [[True Desolation]], the [[Voidbringer]]s gathered in [[Marat]] and then quickly struck at the strip of land bordering the Tarat Sea, including Triax. Contact with the country, including its [[spanreed]]s, was lost mere weeks after the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], implying that it was one of the first states that fell to the enemy.{{book ref|sa3|27}} Following the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Triax remained under control of [[Odium]]'s forces.{{book ref|sa3|122}} However, after a decisive victory by Queen [[Fen]], Dalinar and his coalition maintained naval superiority in the south of the continent, allowing them to use [[Thaylen]] ships to provide supplies to their troops in [[Emul]] without needing to travel through Triax.{{book ref|sa4|17}}
