History
Before Colonization
The First Settlers The first settlers came to the HuoH in the year 1345 AH (Anon Hamini). They numbered at around 200, 70% of whom were men, and sailed to the continent in search of new land. They had left their previous home, the name and location of which has been lost for centuries, due to religious persecution, and seeked a brand new place they could call their own. Kiakewo was that place; the moment they landed, the settlers were overwhelmed by the lush and untouched forestry that surrounded them. They set about building a shoreline camp, which was to become Franciscopolis, the capital city of what is now known as Franberry.
The Discovery of a New Land By the year 1400, Franberry was a thriving young nation; their towns and cities lined the eastern seabord and were connected by an intricate road system. They had a fast growing economy, helped along by the huge amount of natural resources they had at their disposal, and the inevitable trade lines that followed. However, the leaders of Franberry began to wonder just how big Kiakewo was. Their explorers had built cities as far back as they could reach through the dense jungle, but they had no idea just how big the continent was. And so an exploration party of 100 men was sent to take a few ships around the coast and see what they could find. They got about half way across the country, when a rough storm sent them smashing into the rocks. When the storm subsided, the crews emerged to find the ships irreparably damaged, effectively shutting them off from the mainland.
