The northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]] was known as a interim trading post, resting point and shipyard by [[Corummese people|Corummese]], [[Kiravian]] and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] sailors since before the islands first charting in 1616. | The northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]] was known as a interim trading post, resting point and shipyard by [[Corummese people|Corummese]], [[Kiravian]] and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] sailors since before the islands first charting in 1616. | ||

In 1705 [[Kiravian]] [[trading_company_name]] received an order to establish a permanent colony on the on the northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. 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_company_name]] fleet arrived to the northerneastern coast of [[Isle of Farmandie]] in summer of 1712 and got ashore on [[Point_name]]. After few days of scouting the area surrounding the [[Kiravian_settlement_name]] and the mouth of [[River Vænd]] the commander of the [[Burgoignesc]] [[trading_company_name]] fleet ordered the settlement to be built on the opposing bank of the river. At first the [[Kiravian]] settlers were very suspicious about the sudden appearance of the [[Burgoignesc]] on the island and what their intentions might be. The commander of the [[Burgoignesc]] [[trading_company_name]] fleet [[commander_name]] demanded to have a meeting with the commander of the [[Kiravian_settlement_name]]. He succeeded in persuading the the peaceful nature of [[Burgoignesc]] intentions and concluded an agreement of ? with the [[Kiravian_settlement_name]]s commander [[]]. For months the relations between the two colonies stayed peaceful and included mostly trading of goods. Language barrier induced disagreements and distrust between the two ethnic groups caused the relations to turn hostile and after [[certain_escalation_event]] freguent and deadly skirmishes and ruthless competition of the islands scarce resources between the two colonies were common. Referred as the trade war of Farmandie. | In 1705 [[Kiravian]] [[trading_company_name]] received an order to establish a permanent colony on the on the northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]].

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.
