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

=== Plantation Era ===
Line 133:
By 1395, the entire archipelago was occupied by some of the wealthiest families in Salovia. The majority of the modern day region of Nublar was the property of the Ketevandize family — making them the most powerful landowners of the time period — but a certain areas were owned by other families or factions. Most plantations had grown significantly due to an influx of slaves from [[Arcturia]], most of which were of Impelanzan origin. This trend would persist long after this period, causing drastic demographic shifts. The islands were technically Salovian-speaking, but Impelanzan was spoken more widely. This meeting of two very different languages would begin the formation of [[Tortugan creole]].
An outlier among the families of early Tortuga was the Heriqatu dynasty, which were [[Cava]] from the [[Kormistazm|Thrid Kormistazic Empire]]. They faced discrimination from neighbouring families and could not rely on the empire for protection due to their operation outside of its jurisdiction.
The Grand Monarchy had always shown interest in the archipelago, most notably with the purchase of the land surrounding [[Kusmepe Bay]]. By royal decree of [[List of Monarchs of Salovia|King Lerin XVIII]], all the islands in the Tortugan archipelago were annexed into the Salovian Empire in 1407. The current families were permitted to continue running their respective territories until further notice. Differing opinions on the future of the islands would eventually see their powers slowly stripped away in favour of more direct Salovian rule.▼
