The Territories that are now Durakia was sparsely populated until the formation of Durakia, with Dwarven settlements being few and far between. Theories have been made of a expansive Dwarven Civilization that used to inhabit Durakia and Irnac due to recent archaeological finds being publicly released which is suspected to be evidence of large Dwarven settlements across the island. The most likely theory is that there was a large Dwarven state, however its population decreased rapidly from some great tragedy. The islands were generally left alone by the empires of the world, with it not being seen as strategically valuable enough to set up a colony there, with only minor exploration of the area. Durakia Island was settled by the Asendavian Miner's and Labour Front during the Great War, after a retreat following the Battle of Tungrad. The AMLF founded the settlements of Wesnov and Arnstal, eventually declaring themselves as the Miner's Republic of Durakia.

History of Durakia

Native Period of Durakia (?-1916)

Little is known of the Dwarven settlements of Durakia, though archaeological finds date them to being at least 10,000 years ago. These settlements were mainly small villages built around fertile rivers which were isolated from each other by the time of expeditions in the 1600s.
