{{main|Heaven Ships}} | |||
Sometime before 1000 BC, some strange ships would land on the northern shores of Vallos, carrying multitudes of passengers from [[Crona]] with most of them having been criminals and other undesirables. These ships arrived at very irregular intervals, often with multiple centuries between successful landings. Many of these passengers would typically go on to intermarry with the indigenous Vallosi, often taking on many cultural aspects of the Glaistic civilisation initially, but subsequent arrivals of Cronan peoples would soon lead to the Glaistic cultural traditions being largely supplanted by the traditions that the newly-arrived Cronans would bring with them alongside entirely new traditions. Nonetheless, the descendants of the Cronans who have arrived to Vallos from before 1000 BC until around 100 BC would become the ancestors of the [[Taineans]], with the first instances of what could be recognised as an early form of Tainean culture emerging at around 500 BC. | |||
On the southern shores of Vallos at around 1500 BC, groups of people would arrive having been the result of many years of essentially island-hopping from [[Peratra]] to their new homes. According to legend, these people had found the local agriculture of the Glaistics to be very suitable and began to harvest some for themselves only to be met with intense hostility from the Glaistics who promptly forced the newcomers to flee. This incident and rather violent form of first contact describes the origins of the hostilities between the Polynesian ancestors of the [[Loa people|Loa]] and the indigenous Glaistics. The Polynesians would soon return in greater numbers and conducted a raid on coastal Glaistic settlements before finally establishing the first permanent Polynesian settlements in Vallos which in turn became the largest Polynesian settlements outside of their homeland of Peratra, taking up the southernmost third of mainland Vallos. | |||
===Early Latinic settlements=== | ===Early Latinic settlements=== | ||
The first Occidental people to have settled in Vallos were the [[Latinic people|Latins]] from the [[Adonerii]], a pre-Caphiric Latinic civilisation which had originated from the island of [[Urlazio]]. Due to the distance between Vallos and Urlazio, however, the Latins would not arrive on Vallos until 650 BC after Adonerii settlements in what is now [[Cartadania]] were of a sufficient enough size to send colonists. These first Latinic colonists would land on [[Porta Bianca]], introducing the earliest instances of "true cities" to Vallos from which further colonial ambitions were fueled. Though early Latinic involvement in Vallos was relatively sparse at first, it would soon expand greatly at around 500 BC as refugees from Urlazio would migrate to Porta Bianca before migrating to mainland Vallos. This was further spurred on by the prospect of owning relatively fertile soil, many of which would be farmed by hired Tainean farm labourers further inland. It was also with the arrival of the Latins that the Glaistics would soon face eventual extinction, but not through conflict. Instead, the remaining Glaistics would simply have moved to Latinic urban areas for employment where they would gradually assimilate into the culture of their new overlords as they abandon their previous nomadic lifestyles in favour of a more sedentary way of life. | |||
