The history of Kaymakli as a nation is a short one when compared to the history of other nations within the world of Arda. What had originally been an abandoned military base which was found by Zaron would quickly become the headquarters for a mercenary army led by him. Accepting a wide range of recruits from both the local towns and villages, as well as other parts of the world, the abandoned base quickly became active once more. Dubbed "The Eagle's Nest" by Zaron, he and his mercenaries would specialize in providing protection services to the local populations which did not fall under the safety offered by larger nations.

Resulting directly from providing protection to the local population, for a price of course, the original mercenary group quickly found itself in a new position as more and more towns and villages offered to become a part of the Eagle's Nest. Seeing an opportunity for stability, Zaron accepted these offers. In time the amount of towns and villages which volunteered to be a part of the new nation, named Kaymakli, expanded to consist of approximately a quarter of the mainland. The latest, and last, city to be included in this expansion has become the city of Philadelphia which was liberated from a criminal government after a siege that lasted several months. As time went by the city of Philadelphia would shift from a once semi-independent city to the nation's political capital as the major syndicates were taken down and the ice zombies which once terrorized its citizens were destroyed.

Taking a military isolationist stance, Kaymakli has refused to enter any conflict which did not directly involve them. Instead it has entered separate trade agreements with the nation of Erufu across the mainland sea to the west and with the island nation of Xenshi.
