The history of the Fierisi islands dates from some of the earliest pygmy-hominid activity estimated at around 700,000 years ago. The earliest findings of modern human remains and primitive dwellings date back to 47,000 BC, although a lack of substantial evidence fails to explain their sudden disappearance from the island. By around 4000 BC, seafaring Ecrosians, who form a majority of the native population, migrated and settled eastward, populating the island with various warring tribes. A distinct lack of written records during its ancient era is attributed to a well-preserved culture of oral history, passed down through way of song, dance, and prayer. Over 5,000 semi-historical tales can still be found in modern-day performances and initiation rituals, 200 of which are preserved, translated, and analyzed in the ''Grand Archives'' library in Lak'as. | The history of the Fierisi islands dates from some of the earliest pygmy-hominid activity estimated at around 700,000 years ago.

History
Prehistory and Ancient era
The history of the Fierisi islands dates from some of the earliest pygmy-hominid activity estimated at around 700,000 years ago. The earliest findings of modern human remains and primitive dwellings date back to 47,000 BC, although a lack of substantial evidence fails to explain their sudden disappearance from the island. By around 4000 BC, seafaring Ecrosians, who form a majority of the native population, migrated and settled eastward, populating the island with various warring tribes. A distinct lack of written records during its ancient era is attributed to a well-preserved culture of oral history, passed down through way of song, dance, and prayer. Over 5,000 semi-historical tales can still be found in modern-day performances and initiation rituals, 200 of which are preserved, translated, and analyzed in the Grand Archives library in Lak'as.
Rise of the Lak'asa: 200 AD
The site of Lak'as was founded around 200 AD during a period of increasing settlement deeper into the island's rainforest region. Around 400 AD, its population swelled due to migrations from coastal tribespeople, making the settlement the first city-state on the Fierisi islands. Large idols, pyramids, and monoliths in reverence of a Lak'asan god of the sun, as well as various styles of pottery were created during this period of cultural and economic growth.
With the city-state nearly uncontested in matters of war and trade, Lak'asa society underwent a period of dramatic transformation that saw the establishment of a rigid caste system under the united leadership of a Warrior-king. By 600 AD, the kingdom had either conquered or vassalized all of the other tribes in the islands. It is estimated that around 70,000-100,000 people lived around the city center during this period, nearly half of which were enslaved peoples from defeated kingdoms. Living on the outskirts of the kingdom's territories were the various subjugated tribal states, some of the largest being the seafaring Pye'rii, the cave-dwelling Gag'am, and the war-like Xi'poha. Over time, these smaller polities would gain significant autonomy within the kingdom, arranged by way of political marriage or military alliance (many of which were formed to suppress revolts).
=Early Discovery: 600 AD
The first non-migratory arrival to the islands was accomplished by Tumanitun sailors, using rafts similar to Fieri's ecrosian ancestors. Upon landing on Pye'rii territory, Tumanitun traders set camp, believing the place to be uninhabited. After a few days of no contact, the sailors were greeted by a small warband and brought back to their village center. Unlike future contact with the natives, the Tumanitun explorers were treated with remarkedly good hospitality. Evidence of this interaction is mentioned in at least twenty different oral histories, as well as city murals, all having slightly different accounts of the event. The recollections ranged from dramatized to historical depictions of feasts, romance, intrigue, and trade.
After word spread of the Tumanitun arrival and departure, Lakasa King Tup'ac and his personal guard traveled to Pye'rii territory and demanded that any foreign gifts be given to him as tribute, intending to use such gifts for prestige and influence within the city's social court. This would irreparably sour relations with the weaker Pye'rii tribe but would establish a precedent of foreign traders offering tribute directly to the capital city deeper within the islands while being protected by the king's warband. A wave of trade ships followed suit, exchanging Ecrosian goods for vast amounts of cinnamon, vanilla, and cocoa.

While prosperous for the increasingly powerful nobility, more commoners were reduced to near-permanent servitude in plantations, effectively doing the work of slaves, differentiated only in their right to own land and marry.
Dark Age: 800-1200 AD
The Lakasa golden age was brought to an end by the eruption of the islands' largest volcano, Mt. Matan'da. This resulted in the total depopulation and abandonment of the kingdom's largest cities, causing a power vacuum that engulfed the islands in war. Smaller clans splintered off from large confederacies, often engaging in wars beyond enslavement, resulting in the destruction of around thirty tribes. This period saw significantly fewer written and drawn records being made, and more dramatic and allegorical songs. Sailors from Ecrosia during this time period were often attacked on sight, and on some occasions, enslaved as servants, farmers, and builders. This period saw the emergence of the Xi'poha tribe as the most powerful faction in the region, though they were never able to unify the islands due to frequent infighting between nobles, landowners, and slaves.
