History
Origins
The founding and establishment of the ancient Pelagic Stretch is a matter of debate among scholars. The natives all have many fanciful stories and myths of their own creation, or how they came to dwell scattered upon the islands, yet actual historical facts or writings do not seem to exist. The only constant between these varying tales is this: they were either banished, driven, or fled some great catastrophe that had befallen their original land.
Pre-Contact
With almost each island claimed by a particular set of Pelagine, constant conflict was inevitable. Small wars broke out over everything from fishing territories to resources to religious differences. One particularly amusing tale details the Pig War, which began when a pregnant sow swam from one island to the next to give birth, and the fight broke out over who owned the offspring. The fighting, as well as the limited resources, left the Pelagines only a little above tribal status for much of it's history. Occasionally, visionary warlords would bring ten, even twenty islands under their sway, but they quickly would revert upon the men's deaths.
