Volcanic in origin, Torlen was formed {{circa}} 11.5 million years ago. Its volcanic origin is still visible by way of a number of hot springs, although the island is not otherwise considered volcanically active. The island was not truly permanently inhabited until the antiquity, owing in part to its remote nature and in part to the nature of [[Levantine hurricane]]s battering the low-lying island, literally washing away nascent civilizations. | |||

Over the 200s ''Fochla Alian'' fell further and further under the influence of the [[Istroya]]n civilization. By the 250s [[Istroya]]n was the primary language and the [[Istroya]]n people had become the cultural and ethnic majority. In [[303]] the island was annexed into the [[History_of_Dericania#Confederation_of_Medestophanese|Confederation of Medestophanese]]. The island was a major importer of grains and cereals from the mainland provinces of the [[History_of_Dericania#Confederation_of_Medestophanese|Confederation of Medestophanese]] and their deeper sea fish like shark and marlin were prized trade commodities. It became known as Piscea during this period. | Over the 200s ''Fochla Alian'' fell further and further under the influence of the [[Istroya]]n civilization.
