Sokala: Difference between revisions

The first inhabitants of the Sokalan archipelago are thought to have come from prehistoric [[Iphelklori]]. Boats of a similar structure dating back to 40,000 years ago were unearthed in east Iphelklori as well as in South Sokala. The cause of the migration is unclear but it is speculated that migration of [[Species#Elves|Elves]] downwards south might've been the cause. Preserved skeletons were also found by [[Nuesperanza|Nuesperanzan]] archaeologists in caves in [[Nada]]. The first to be found was the "''Unang Bungo''" or "The First Skull" in the Nadan cave. Further exploration in the surrounding caves revealed at least 150 preserved skeletons, all of which were human. While most of the skeletons belonged to adult humans aged 30-40, "''Unang Bungo''" was told to have belonged to a 15-16-year-old male. A crack can be observed in "''Unang Bungo''"' leading many to speculate on the cause of death. The skeletons resembled the [[Eastern Civilization]] skeletons, a mass grave of over 300 skeletons that were as old as "''Unang Bungo''".

A study conducted in 2003 concluded that the Sokalan islands were a hotbed for trade. According to the study, the Sokalan islands originally only had [[Tagisla]] speaking tribes until traders from [[Justelvard]] arrived in north-western around the 1000s while traders from [[Fuso]] arrived in north-eastern Sokala around the 1100s. These traders would later create small trading communities in the coastal areas. An example of these old trading communities is the [[Lǎo Chéngqū Village]] found in southern [[Diyu]].
