Historical Summary:
According to archeological records, whilst most early Cava - having evolved from treeclaw - fled north into Aurora following the freezing of Sempiternica, some were left isolated and forced to adapt to the harsh cold enviroments, returning to a carnivorous lifestyle sustaining on fish and developing a rudementary culture and language, formimg paths from the sea to their communal settlements, in what foreigners have called ‘snoways’
The isolated community was discovered by Vistari Explorer Matthias D. Hagelwoud in 1612, who referred to them as the Aakan, after a native word later believed to have meant ‘No’. Hagelwoud wrote a report on the population using non-participant observation, before campaigning Emperor Frederick II ‘the Patron’ to offer his protection to the land’s unique scientific opportunity. Such a protection was granted, and renewed by the IF in 1923.
