Atavia: Difference between revisions

'''Atavia''' is an island to the east of [[New Harren]] in the [[Nysdra Sea]] that is part of [[Urcea]].  

Prior to the [[Nysdran Collapse]] which connected the Nysdra Sea to the [[Ocean of Cathay]], Atavia was a highland region which archaeologists believe was heavily settled by prehistoric Cronans due to its advantageous, defensible position, though little is known about these peoples. Human habitation continued on the island immediately following its becoming an island, but archaeologists believe these groups died off or departed for the mainland. Within the historical record, Atavia has been the home of many different types of peoples, most of whom being transient groups of fishermen who would settle on the island for the season and depart. Permanent settlement of the island began around 1300 AD, and it was largely self governing until its conquest by the [[Algosh]] in [[1903]]. The island remained largely isolated until the late 20th century, when it began to modernize due to increased interaction with nearby [[New Harren]]. The island was seized from [[Algoquona]] by [[Urcea]] in 2024 with restoration of local control and traditions being a top priority of the [[Government of Urcea]] following a century of Algosh rule. The island is home to a [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base which will be the largest in the [[Nysdra Sea]] region.
