==Human Settlement==
==Prehistory of Nagu==
There are 3 major waves of migration from [[Upper Boroso]] to Nagu. The Vajusans came to the southeastern islands in -500, moving northwards and settling in modern-day eastern [[Hanerj]] in 500. The second wave was the Harnibians who came to the Syyniq islands and surrounding land, settling in modern-day [[Tnaaq]] in 1000. The Aysari separated from the Harnibians early on and settled in [[Chahsoho Aysa]]. The third wave was the Tnaaqians who arrived in the Syyniq islands (1000) and expanded north, mixing in fully with the Harnibians by 1500.
While the [[Astalvi]] are native to the continent, both [[Kavs]] and Humans arrived on the island continent sometime during the early Mesolithic and late Upper Paleolithic periods. While the identity of these peoples is generally sporadic and not well understand as the climate of the continent does not preserve the remains of organisms well, what is known that peoples from [[Soltenna]] crossed the [[Draconic islands]] and reached the continent sometime around 30,000 years ago with hunter-gatherer societies. The earliest of these was the [[Pre-Historic Naguan Mesolithic Cultural Group|PHNMCG]] which dominated much of the continent for several millennia 19,000 years ago. This culture would be the first and last time Nagu would be culturally unified as innovations in culture and material increased throughout the continent.

From 3500 BCE through until 1500 BCE the [[Pre-Historic Southern Naguan Copperware Culture]], now understood to most likely be the [[Asuranesian peoples|Asuranesians]] and [[Sawyan peoples|Sawyans]] formed a unique identity with the practice of copper working. This culture was originally centered around the [[Rhasatsruksa mountains]] before expanding to cover parts of modern [[Cananganam]], [[Mujansa]], and [[Ukutunajas]]. Eventually the [[Yana culture]] would succeed the PHSNCC culture with the introduction of more boat-oriented peoples as demonstrated from the remains of an excavated outrigger discovered off the coast of the town of [[Yana]], [[Cananganam]]. The vessel was found mostly intact as it had sunk into a relatively deep part of the [[Bay of Cananganam]], where the shortage of dissolved oxygen in the water preserved it.

Today, much of the continent's nationstates are generally on fair terms with one another with the addition of new telecommunications technologies bridging many of the gaps in the continent.

Prehistory of Nagu

While the Astalvi are native to the continent, both Kavs and Humans arrived on the island continent sometime during the early Mesolithic and late Upper Paleolithic periods. While the identity of these peoples is generally sporadic and not well understand as the climate of the continent does not preserve the remains of organisms well, what is known that peoples from Soltenna crossed the Draconic islands and reached the continent sometime around 30,000 years ago with hunter-gatherer societies. The earliest of these was the PHNMCG which dominated much of the continent for several millennia 19,000 years ago. This culture would be the first and last time Nagu would be culturally unified as innovations in culture and material increased throughout the continent.

From 3500 BCE through until 1500 BCE the Pre-Historic Southern Naguan Copperware Culture, now understood to most likely be the Asuranesians and Sawyans formed a unique identity with the practice of copper working. This culture was originally centered around the Rhasatsruksa mountains before expanding to cover parts of modern Cananganam, Mujansa, and Ukutunajas. Eventually the Yana culture would succeed the PHSNCC culture with the introduction of more boat-oriented peoples as demonstrated from the remains of an excavated outrigger discovered off the coast of the town of Yana, Cananganam. The vessel was found mostly intact as it had sunk into a relatively deep part of the Bay of Cananganam, where the shortage of dissolved oxygen in the water preserved it. This insight to the culture gives a clear picture of the early boating methods produced by the Littoro-Marianic peoples and their improvements on earlier rafts and dugouts.

Ancient History

The first city states also began to build up after the 2600 BCE, as agriculture became further developed and practiced. The most notable of these initial city states was Meqowalele which grew into an industrial center of ancient Nagu. The early city states throughout the region was dominated by Sawyan politics, while in the lowlands various Dagyelic and Asuranesian groups began to found their own city states. Much of the information of this time is limited as logographic scripts dominated the literacy of the early Borosan-derived writing systems. As these logographs did not survive into modern use, much of their meaning is still limited and unknown.

Antiquity

The further centralization of communities led to several states to form. The most notable of these was the Cananganamese empire which established itself along the coast of Cananganam and Mujansa, before expanding further along the islands of the coast and into the interior. This expansion began sometime around the 200s BCE, and would see a decline around the 300s CE. Much of the empire's expansion allowed the expansion of writing, religion, and trade throughout much of the continent allowing commerce and populations to flourish, despite the near collapse of the empire several times over the next centuries.

Early Medieval Period

By the mid-late 700s, the Cananganamese empire saw a revival and expansion. Much of Nagu was either controlled or within the sphere of influence of the imperial administration. The empire would see a century of prosperity in 1100. This prosperity was created by a surge of involvement with the arts, sciences, and the further development of agriculture. The empire would eventually collapse by the mid-13th century, marking an end of the empire and the creation of new Canamic states from the remnants of the empire.
