Crygnos

Crygnos /'Krugnɒs/ is a small continent in the northwestern hemisphere of the known world. The continent extends from the arctic southward, some distance north of the equator. The continent is composed of four islands: [ordered from greatest landmass to smallest] Crygnos Proper, Skaland, Visgard, and Galdir. Crygnos Proper is the largest by a substantial lead. The continent is largely under the control of the Valusian Sovereignty, whereas the rest are controlled by Kanin petty kings. The Sovereignty and the Kanin have very limited contact due to tundra and mountains. The little contact that the Kanin do have with the Sovereignty is limited trade with Galdians and Miles. During recorded ages, there have been two large migrations to the continent, and one small.

Pre-Migration Era
Crygnos was largely inhabited by the Druids before the arrival of the Uccrans and the Anthareans. The Druids lived in tribes and petty kingdoms, and saw little cultural change. The Druids worshipped various forest spirits and animal Gods, and lived in relative periods of harmony and peace with each other. During this age the kingdom of Sodir was the greatest and most influential in the region.

The March of the Uccrans (First Migration)
As the Romasi Dominion began it's decline, so did too the Uccran's desire to remain. The migrators were mostly freemen, disgruntled soldiers, and servants who sought better life elsewhere. The Uccran nobility was intertwined with the Antharean ruling class, and were less inclined to leave their holdings. Despite this, some notable families did depart, such as the Mythons.

The Uccrans existed relatively peacefully with their Druidic neighbors. A hero known as Moro Ghan was elected king by the Druids of the Lowlands, whereas the Uccran kingdoms of Miltir and Vestan were more prone to conquering nearby Druidic tribes.

Over time, the Druids and the Uccrans would intertwine and develop the Mile identity, and unify the Mile Country.

Candharean Migration
The decline and eventual dissolution of the Romasi Dominion left it's citizens in the Candhar Sea defenseless. The Sion Empire filled the power vacuum, and led to the exodus of most Candhareans due to the Sionite's relentless persecation of religious minorities and forceful conversions. The Candhareans sailed past Veldraal, and settled the rocky shoreline of what would become Mestirm, establishing the fortified towns of Citadel and Candaras.
