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.

The town of [[Kæn]] was established on the mouth of [[River Vænd]] in late winter of [[1748]] after the signing of the [[treaty of River Vænd]] that ended the 35 year long [[Trade War of Farmandie]] between [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company]] and [[Nevisar Austral & Antarctic Company]]. | The town of [[Kæn]] was established on the mouth of [[River Vænd]] in late winter of [[1748]] after the signing of the [[treaty of River Vænd]] that ended the 35 year long [[Trade War of Farmandie]] between [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company]] and [[Nevisar Austral & Antarctic Company]].
