History
Early history
Archaeological excavations indicate that the first humans have existed in the area of modern day Zamoros as early as 8,000 years ago. The area was quickly abandoned, however, largely due to the warming climate of the region which proved inhospitable to both the big game animals that the early settlers relied on, and for any potential agricultural efforts.
However, 3,000 years ago a second wave of inhabitants swept into the area and left behind more advanced hunting implements such as bows and arrows. The remains of around 6,000 such early encampments have been found all across the region. It's widely believed that the region has remained continually inhabited from that time.
By the time of the arrival of |Asurans, the Sosonee had begun cultivating fields of vegetation through the use of slash and burn techniques. This extended the productive life of planted fields. They also harvested vast quantities of fish and shellfish from the fruitful bays of the region, and, in the more southerly regions, harvested clams year-round. The success of these methods enabled the tribe to sustain a much larger population than the neighbouring nomadic hunter-gatherers tribes, such as the Newe, were able to support. Historians have estimated that at the time of Asuran settlement, there may have been about 25,000 Sosonee total in approximately 100 settlement sites around much of the the coastal regions of Zamoros , alone. In 1524 Sosonee in canoes met Alfonso Vestriña, the first Asuran explorer to chart Vestrim, who dubbed the area Puerto Profundo, alluding to the deep harbours of the region, which he noted could be exploited.
Veleazan colonization
Following the charting of Vestrim by Alfonso Vestriña, and its formal discovery by Lhaeraidh explorers, Asuran powers began to actively colonise the Eastern Coast of the New World, while tentative expeditions further west were also attempted.
