Vallos: Difference between revisions

Historically, Vallos became a cultural crossroads between the [[Latinic people|Latin]] east, [[Polynesian people|Polynesian]] south, and remnants of people from [[Crona]] to the northwest.

===Pre-arrivals===

Humans settled Vallos at some time around 12,000 BC according to archaeological evidence, a relatively late date of settlement for most parts of the [[Occident]]. The earliest settlers exhibited a relatively similar {{wp|material culture}} to contemporary residents of what would become Pelaxia, suggesting a westward migration at that time. The Neolithic revolution occurred on Vallos to a limited extent, as large urban cities did not develop, but farming of local grasses and other flora made settled farm life viable. About forty percent of people in Vallos adopted agricultural lifestyles by 2000 BC. Society continued to develop, with indigenous prehistoric reaching its apex with the shark pottery culture, a material culture so named for the use of both shark teeth and bones as a crafting material in addition to the use of shark-related motifs on pottery. The shark pottery culture reached its peak around 1800 BC, just prior to the arrival of the first [[Heaven Ships]] and later arrival of the [[Polynesian people|Polynesians]]. Archaeologists have uncovered several urban centers of around a thousand people all along the eastern coast of Vallos which were likely fishing centers and the source of shark material. Shark pottery culture continued its existence following the arrivals of foreign culture groups, although archaeologists classify much of it as "late shark pottery" due to the introduction of foreign innovations.  

===Second Sarpedonic colonization===

===Modern era===

Vallos has a diverse array of cultures and was called "at the same time a crossroads of the old and new worlds and a rich tapestry of three different cultural traditions" by [[P. G. W. Gelema]]. The three main cultural influences in Vallos come from the [[Occident]], particularly [[Latinic people|Latinic]]-descended traditions of [[Burgundie]] and mainland [[Sarpedon]], the Brenedine, from [[Polynesian people]] who populate the southern tip of the subcontinent, and [[Crona|Cronan people]] who have settled the subcontinent at various points since the first millennia BC by means of the arrival of [[Heaven Ships]].

Tainean people is a term used to describe the descendants of ancient Cronans who settled on Vallos, establishing a unique culture. Initially the result of [[North Songun civilization|North Songun]] cultures being introduced to and dominating the pre-arrival indigenous Cronans, Taineans eventually developed independent traditions and customs that appear only on Vallos.

Brenedine people is a term used to describe the descendants of the [[Bergendii]] admixture with other [[Levantia|Levantine]] and [[Sarpedon]]ian peoples. They largely speak a creole dialect of the [[Burgoignesc language]] which is heavily influenced by Latin. They observe [[Occidental]] cultural norms, and the Christian faith.
