History

Expansion

Captain Vusmein Llorens and his crew of sailors aboard the SS Zexaro discovered the uninhabited island, later to be known as Llorens, on 6 May 2014 after escaping from a conflict in an unknown land. The island went through a rapid establishment period due to the lack of geographic or prior inhabitant resistance, paired with an expanding population also fleeing the conflict. As a result of this, Zexaro, the eventual capital, was established on 6 June, followed by a range of other cities: Xeñana City on 24 September, Liteya on 15 October, Zanaville on 23 November and Xerturini on 16 December.
