History
Pre-History
Human habitation of the island is estimated to have begun between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago. At the time of Sibarian settlement in the late 15th century, most tribesmen were hunter-gatherers. The eastern coasts and waters of Daminy were visited sporadically by fishermen from the west.
Discovery
In 1478, the Sibarian traders, captained by Mikahel Gorbachov, set sail for Auxillary, and Ironian controlled island. They were going to trade spices and different kinds of materials. They were blown off course and started to head north. Within a day of getting blown of course, they landed on the island of Daminy.
When they realised they were on a new found island, they sent back a man on a stable boat to get back to Sibaria. He recorded his way back to Sibaria and landed on the east side on the Sibarian Peninsula. The men back on Daminy started to set up a new colony and named it New Vladivastak, later to be called Gorbachov.
Colonisation
The first colony of Daminy was established with the arrival of the Sibarian Fleet of 20 vessels under the command of Captain Boris Archeon in January 1501. It consisted of over 5 thousand settlers. A few days after arrival at New Vladivastak, most of the fleet moved towards the center of Daminy, where the settlement of Archeon was established, on the 4 Febuary 1501.
Archeon offered fresh farmable land and a safe supply of water coming from the east, which Archeon described as being, 'one of the finest discoveries man has ever found'. Meanwhile, New Vladivastak met the requirements to become a township, which consisted of over 5 thousand people.
More and more people started to arrive on Daminy's shores, and by 1507, Daminy had over 15 thousand people located across New Vladivastak and Archeon. Mikahel Gorbachov, now in his early 40's, became the first Govenor-General of the Combined Colony of New Vladivastak and Archeon. He governed the colony until his death in 1537.
