The assigned fleet arrived to the island in late 1707 and got ashore at the mouth of [[River Vænd]]. After the [[Burgoignesc]] goverment learned about the [[Kiravian]] colony on the island it placed an urgent order to establish a competing colony on the island. The [[Burgoignesc trading comapany]] fleet got ashore on the northern coast of Isle of Farmandie on summer of 1712. After scouting the area surrounding of the [[Kiravian settlement]] and the mouth of [[River Vænd]] the commander of the assigned [[]] fleet ordered the settlement to be built on the opposing bank of the river. The [[Kiravian]] settlers were very suspicious of the. Altho peaceful at first the relations between the two colonies soon fell to disarray. Disagreements and distrust led to freguent and deadly skirmishes and ruthless competition of the islands scarce resources between the two colonies. | ||

The extremely long sea voyages in often unpredictably harsh and cold weather conditions resulted in that both colonies got deemed a waste of time and resources by their colonial overlords and the colonies got sent fewer and fewer resupply shipments until they were completely forgotten and neglected. This led the two colonies to get almost completely isolated from the rest of the world by 1745. The colonies realised their neglegted state on winter of 1748 after not receiving any shipments for 3 years straight the two colonies agreed to settle their differences and merge together as one larger settlement in favour of working together to survive on the island. This is often referred as the establisment of the capital [[Kæn]], the first town on the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. In the beginning the former hostilities still fresh in memory complemented with language barrier, food shortage and the punishing conditions led to settlers developing heavy drinking habits and grudges between the two ethnic groups. Disagreement especially between individuals of different ethnicities often led to violent escalations on a major scale after a heavy night of drinking. These drunken group fights were often referred as the small civil wars. | The extremely long sea voyages in often unpredictably harsh and cold weather conditions resulted in that both colonies got deemed a waste of time and resources by their colonial overlords and the colonies got sent fewer and fewer resupply shipments until they were completely forgotten and neglected.
