The Vistari People originated from Eastern Concord, made up of seafaring tribes such as the Oserene and Helban. (Origins of the names of Aisera and Haliban respectively) These ancestors of the Vistari believed the world to be a great Cresent surrounded by an infinite sea. They called this Crescent "Kromme Imposant", or Curve of Imposing. This belief still influences the Vistari view of the world today, with Krommosant being the Vistari word to describe Yasteria and Arcturia as a single continent.

In around 200 BC, the Vistari People migrated to the isle of Krommentrum. (Named after the Vistari words for Curve and Centre) The reason for such a mass exodus from Concord is a hotly debated subject, but it is known the Vistari settled first near the modern day region of Korsland, expanding and displacing the native Elven Population. This eventually led to the growth of settlements along the West Coast and the Vistara River.
