Escal Isles: Difference between revisions

= History =

The native population of the Escal Isles archipelago call the islands Tusapuluq (Eng: Ten (islands) standing together). Their mythology states that they came to the island on the backs of turtles around the 13th century. It is assumed that their mythology must be based on some variety of a realistic timeline and excavations in parts of the Escal Isles have loosely corroborated an arrival of native populations between the 11th and 14th centuries. It is further assumed that the native populations started in the southwestern [[Escal|Ota'Ane]] and over the centuries migrated further east and north, likely settling [[Sudmoll|Motukairangi]] last.
