Coscivian mariners pressed westward toward to Crona, where they established settlements in what is now [[Amerigo]], [[Regions_of_Cronzcovina|Suderavia]], and [[Æonara]], southward into the Odoneru, and southeast as they charted the eastern coastline of [[Levantia]], down to Kedrya in the [[Melian Isles]]. | ||
Coscivians first visited the Sydonas in 20282, when the caravel<sup>?</sup> ''Snékár Ilunabarsk'' under the command of Kavakón Varrada sighted the island of St. Xavier (though the name they gave it was ''Nív-////'', after a local saint from Lusēdan Province, Éorsa). Eager to replenish their supplies, they went ashore, and encountered the natives. The Eteosydonans were no stranger to the occasional visiting outlander, and provided Varrada's men with important information about the area. Learning that there were several other islands in the archipelago, Varrada located and circumnavigated all of them before moving westward and discovering the Raladur Peninsula and the [[Salesian Isles]]. Before embarking on their return voyage, the crew of the ''Snékár Ilunabarsk'' wintered ashore on the island that was later named for their captain, near the present-day town of Óstaldan. | Coscivians first visited the Sydonas in 20282, when the caravel<sup>?</sup> ''Snékár Ilunabarsk'' under the command of Kavakón Varrada sighted the island of St. Xavier (though the name they gave it was ''Nív-////'', after a local saint from Lusēdan Province, Éorsa).
