By [[1732]] the colonial administration had truly mapped, censused and envoloped the whole of the island. Forts St. Giles and Fort St. Aumand were established as fortified towns for [[Occidental]]s but the remainder of the territory was reserved and protected for the native Austal Valloise population. | By [[1732]] the colonial administration had truly mapped, censused and envoloped the whole of the island.

On January 4th, [[1763]], a typhoon hit the island and killed about 75 people, over 50 pf them native. The towns folk of St. Giles and St. Matius gathered to help the natives rebuild their villages and the natoves in turn helped the [[Bergendii]] rebuild the damaged buildings in those towns. The denizens of the impacted occidental towns and the native villages gathered on February 20th and held a feast of gratitude for each other. The day has since become a holiday in Sudmoll called ''Jour de fraternitee'' ([[Ænglish language|Ænglish]]: Fraternity Day) and celebrates the unity of [[Vallos]]oise and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] culture with pageants and recitations held in both languages in the town squares and then families retire home to have a family meal and share what they are grateful for. | |||
