Major movements: Pre-historyProto-Östrons are formed from various raiding tribes of peoples primarily from Old World Perth and Mittelheim, possibly even the area known as I'bareheem. These groups were nomadic, living in camps and caves near the coast, only occasionally settling down in the last thousand years. Linguistic analysis leads scholars to believe that the majority of Proto-Östrons were from the latter two areas.
The Mercurian Commonwealth, the first Mercurian Empire, and the UnravelingProto-Östrons started to settle down along the coast and near major settlements in the dwarven realm of Duroth and the Mercurian Wastes around it. It was during this time they became what scholars would now call Östrons. After the Unraveling, these groups left for the new world.
280s - 315ishThe Östrons arrive in the new world. They settle many temporary settlements in what is now northern Pyrencia and Western Perth.
310s - 350sÖstrons continue to push east from their temporary settlements in modern Pyrencia and Perth. Some stay in Perth, however, the majority move east to the Imperial Isle, modern Östlaed, Casadia, and parts of Kaine. Minor groups exist around the southern Imperial Sea in forested and temperate to cold areas.
350s - 495The Perthian Östrons over this time give up their language and other cultural identifiers, and integrate within Perth. Östrons continue to spread out from the major population centers in Acholm and Gourdham. Östlaed is founded in 495 A.I.
495 - 535After the founding of Östlaed, Östrons continued to expand out from Acholm, the capital. Östrons from other parts of the Imperial Sea, and indeed from all over the Empire (almost entirely quite small groups, however). Östron populations soars during this period, thanks to increasing wealth and family growth practices. On the map below, orange circles indicate minor populations of Östrons abroad engaging in trade with friendly nations.
