History

Landing by the Tana

The Blight of 19,204 ravaged the settlements of the Tana people along the [big desert river], forcing many to migrate downriver. Several hundred continued all the way to the port city of Kahákpi, where they found work in the dockyards as manual laborers. The selling of several Auspik caravels to the city-state Kahákpi's government led to the creation of a Naval Command in attempt to emulate the Nautical Peace. The Kahákpi Naval Command, with recommendation of [exiled Unuvi naval captain], decided to undertake a colonization project in order to increase both the prestige of the Kahákpi navy as well as train a new generation of sailors capable of navigating the blackwaters. The Kahákpi government granted the Naval Command a sum of 14,000 Qais, which would be enough to cover a trip across the Uqe Ocean by the caravels. In addition, [exiled Unuvi naval captain] found support from [Nohktan investors] who promised to support the colony should it survive for a period of three years.

The five caravels left the port of Kahákpi with a total of 195 colonists. The destination was originally set to be Ivinis, however deliberation by the Kahákpi government forced the fleet to instead head south towards Lavaank. The ships docked at [Ganuo city] in order to both resupply as well as hire several blackwater navigators before heading out beyond the terminator. After a total of [xx] days, the fleet reached [big bay] on the coast of Lavaank. Out of the nearly two hundred original colonists, a total of 174 survived the journey.
