History
Ancient Kaeliv
Ancient Kaeliv refers to the time before the area where Kaeliv is was colonized. Before the colonizers from Iassath came, the natives inhabited the thick jungles in various tribes. Not much is known about them however as they kept no records and the records that were kept were lost once Iassath collapsed. What we do know about them however, is that they were not large in number and most lived in the thick jungles towards the interior. Remains that have been found suggested that they were shorter than the average human at the time, but not short enough to suggest they were pygmies. No structures have been found either. However, some artifacts such as stone spears, axes, and other tools have been found.
The Colonies
The first colonizers from Iassath came to Kaeliv in the early 1580's. They arrived on the northern side of the strait and set up a trading outpost. True colonization didn't begin until the late 1590's when gold and gemstones were discovered further inland. This brought the settlers into conflict with the natives. At first the natives welcomed the settlers in. That is, until the natives started to die of disease.
When the natives started to get sick and die, the remaining natives forced the settlers out. Outraged, Iassath sent soldiers into the jungle to fight the natives. The natives, being accustomed to the jungle, were able to use guerilla warfare against the larger and better armed armies. As time went on, the armies of Iassath were able to overcome the natives and kill them. With the natives gone, the settlers were free to colonize the land.
