The Evadees (Etrurian: Evade) are descendants of Bahian slaves who freed themselves from slavery in Imagua and established themselves in the Central Highlands of Imagua and the interiors of the smaller Assimas Islands.
Etymology
The term evadees is believed to come from the Gaullican term évadé, meaning "the escaped," which stems from the Gaullican term evader, or "to escape."
It was first used to refer to escaped slaves in 1682, when Parry Lambourne, ancestor of Harmon Lambourne records in a document to an insurance broker in TBD "we sent men to the mountains to try and recover some slaves who fled our plantation, but they evaded every single attempt in recapturing: after several weeks, we have only managed to recover two children from the evadés [sic]." However, escapee was a far more common term than evadee until the mid-eighteenth century, when Gaullica took control of Imagua from Estmere after the end of the Gilded Wars in 1721.
During Gaullican rule, with the introduction of Gaullican, the term évadé became a common way to refer to escaped slaves who lived in the Central Highlands, with the term sticking after the end of Gaullican rule in 1771. The modern spelling would become common around 1850, with most sources arguing that this is because of its similarity to escapees, deportees, and refugees.
Early history
From the start of Caldish colonisation, escaped slaves on the island of Imagua (at this time Native Imaguans) would flee to areas with low white settlement, with this trend continuing during Geatish rule of Imagua, with escaped slaves captured in present-day Eldmark fleeing into the Central Highlands. These escaped slaves would form the basis of the evadee community, with archaeological evidence suggesting that there were around 28 sites in the Nearon Valley associated with "indigenous evadees" between 1550 and 1650.
With the seizure of Imagua by Estmere in 1658, Estmerish settlers not only encroached on the evadee communities in the Glen Valley, but brought Bahian slaves as part of the triangle trade to work on sugar or nutmeg plantations. Due to their short life expectancy and brutal working conditions, many slaves would escape to the Central Highlands of Imagua, where they would intermingle with the indigenous Asterians who fled decades earlier.
