Destruction of the Meno

Around 3000BC, the Meno tribe disappeared from the shores of the Mennon Isles and from exsitance all together. The decline has been attributed to many factors including the Great Plague and a change in climate.

The event was a major topic focused on by many early writers, though many romanticised the event for dramatic effect.

Background

Around 3500BC the Meno were an affluent tribe who inhabited the Isles of Menoisle and Floraleisle, in the North West of the Mennon Isles. They had by then developed a form of farming based on the growing of crops, such as corn, which provide a sustainble source to support the raising population.

The Great Plague

Around 3200BC a Great Plague came to the Mennon Isles, which lead to 2/3rds of the Meno's population to be wiped out. Such a huge loss caused the Meno to abandon their settlement and move futher inland, as they went back to a nomadic way of life.

The Final Years

The return to a nomadic lifestyle allowed the Meno to stave of destuction much earlier, but the lack of females made reproduction hard, and as a result numbers dwindled. Also a slight change in climate only made the situation worse for the Meno. By 3050 BC the tribe had abandoned Floraleisle and were teatering on the edge of survial on Menoisle

Finally around 3000BC the tribe disapeared all together. Though there is little evidence to the exact date, the event has been romanticised through the workers of many early writers.
