History[edit | edit source]
The earliest known trace of human settlement of the Botojan Islands dates back to 3000 BC where, long after the last Ice Age, primitive societies were built (?)
Eurectipherian contact began in late 1519 during the Magellan circumnavigation paid for by Castille and Real, while Tyntalsya was left mostly uncontacted until 1535. The Botojan Islands were exposed to early contact thanks to Castille's control over Hopeland, which was limited to trading posts.
