History

A true history of the settlement will be written, in accordance with ancient custom, once knowledgeable natives have been found for interrogation and put to the torture under the supervision of an antiquarian assisted by a dragoman versed in the barbarous vernacular.

The rise of Etzeland and Steerswick to the west and north of Whales in the first decade of the 18th century after Norton had blocked the customary trails, followed by the Honourable Company, into the Cioblan interior for the purpose of taking kuls and organ-donors back to the markets of Chur. Accordingly new sources of human capital were obliged to be sought.

Attention turned to the formerly Craitish Zandarijn. Evacuated immediately prior to the Ludwiggian-Monovian War, and subsequently left ungoverned, the territory was ripe for exploitation.

The 1706 Decree in Whales on the Plantation of Nieuw Rotterdam provided provided for the establishment of a colonial company and the dispatch of an expedition to the city to fascilitate the establishment of a base from which to commence the exploitation of Monovia.
