Line 123:
The lack of structures built by their civilisation can be explained by a lack of any predators on the islands, elimating the need to contruct any forms of shelter and allowing them to flourish. This has also been proposed as a reason for their advancement compared to other animals, being able to expend more time and energy to socialising and thinking.
According to archeological digs, Homesian lifeforms started visiting the archipelago for brief periods of time long before recorded history. The first verifiable account of a visit to the isles is from the journals of ___, an ___ explorer. He, as most after him were, was quite fascinated by the tortoises.
=== The Ketevanidze Plantations ===
In 1381, Irakli Ketevanidze, a Salovian merchant, came across the Tortugan Isles after being blown off course during a trip to Peregrinia. The presence of the giant tortoises indicated where he had ended up. He explored a small part of Isla Nublar (named Isla Ketevanidze until 1993) and found an opportunity to grow vast amounts of sugar.

A year later, in 1382, he returned to Isla Nublar with his family, some friends, and a handful of Salovian slaves. He brought most of his possessions with him and permanently relocated to the islands. The first few years were difficult, having to feed on fish and other local wildlife. Whether or not he ate any tortoises during this period of time is unknown. Progress was slow but steady for the first few years.
By 1390, the plantation had grown from 20 to 300 inhabitants. A few Salovians had made their way to the islands in that period of time, but the majority of growth came from a series of purchases of Impelanzan-speaking slaves from Arcturia.
Ketevandize's money had started to run short 10 years later and started to take on loans from the Salovian governement. In 1402, unable to repay his debts, he was imprisoned by royal decree. His property was seized, including his slaves and Isla Nublar. Seeing much potential in the islands, King ___ incorporated Isla Nublar into his empire, tasking their administration to ___. Nearby islands were also incorporated into the new territory.
