	Pith tiles in their modern form can be traced back to the early 1500s. The game was already popular in much of [[Hearn]] and coastal [[Phyrea]] since the 200s BNB, being introduced by the [[Namunian people\|Namunians]] through trade. Before the introduction of tiles, long cards usually made of wood were preferred, reminiscent of their Bahlian origins. The size and thickness of these cards varied significantly from region to region, as there was a trend to make smaller sets to save on materials and time, and to make them less unwieldy and easier to transport. The earliest pith tile set made to something close to modern standards originates from the 1520s. These were commissioned by a noble family from a now unknown artist. They are in the most popular format at the time in the area (near [[Brith]], in coastal [[Amrhyl]]), thus ~~3.3x2.4x1.3~~ [[eff]] {{metainf\|(roughly 2.4x1.8x1 cm)}}, and were made of ceramic instead of wood.
