===Great Arrival===
Before circa 1000 CE (1 BA), the Kohatu Isles were uninhabited. But when [[Ahua the Great]] became the [[Rangitanga-a-te-Moana]] of the Oan Isles, he purged that nation of adherents of folk religions. The introduction of [[Thaerism]] and the persecution of traditional folk religions, drove ardent adherents to seek a better life elsewhere. Thus, South West Pacific Islanders in the territory that eventually fell under rule of Ahua the Great and became part of the Oan Isles began migrating to the uninhabited Strathepole Archipelago straddling the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]] and [[Caven Sea]] including the Kohatu Isles.
=== Mauist Schism ===
In the Oan Isles, Traditional Thaerism was persecuted and pushed out in favour of [[Mauism]]. The rise of Mauism led to missionaries from the Oan Isles going to the Strathepole Archipelago to proliferate its message. The people in these islands having cultivated unique identities (such as the Jùs of Justelvard and the Kohatuans of the Kohatu Isles and East Gemica) received Mauism enthusiastically because it preserved their folk beliefs and rituals.
