The island was first colonized by a native settler group similar to the two that shaped Vithinjas history. The groups origin being either gothic, north-celtic or south-celtic, today the natives are some mix of all three, clouding the islands origins. This group lived mostly alone on the island for a few centuries, with the exception of a small trade post setup by Ruth and [[Bergendii]] raiders, as a jump-off point towards north-eastern Levantia. | The island was first colonized by a native settler group similar to the two that shaped Vithinjas history.

it also served as a whaling station for [[Bergendii]] whalers from the 17th to early 20th century. | |||
During the 1870s [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] whalers brought businessmen to the islands who bought up 20% of the lakes and ponds to turn into ice farms. From the late 1870s through the 1930s, Vonein provided about 30% of the total ice consumed in [[Burgundie]]. Special ice clippers where designed to carry the ice quickly so that it wasn't lost in transit. These Clippers Voeinoise were some of the fastest ships of their day. | During the 1870s [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] whalers brought businessmen to the islands who bought up 20% of the lakes and ponds to turn into ice farms.
