== History ==
=== Initial Settling ===
Of those that fled the Acquendavian reeducation, 83 survivors made it to the fertile grounds of Voyagez. The journey had aquainted them with local flora and fauna and they found it to be very similar to that of previous home. When they made the site of Voyagez, the season of [[Alathrian Zodiac| Freeze]] set in and the survivors were forced to convert their barkskin boats into rudimentary shelters. Upon [[Alathrian Zodiac| Bloom]] breaking the ice of Freeze, the new settlers found the land to be sustainable and choose to convert their temporary shelters into permenent shelters.
=== Early Settlement to Current ===
The settlers found themselves all in roles similar to that of their hunter-gatherer caravan. They broke into four distinct groups. The groups, called trades by the settlers, were hunters, fishers, foragers, and specialists. <br>
It is said that each was to lead a group onto the lands and return with their appropriate items. The fishers and specialists were to remain at the site to prepare it to be their new homeland. <br>
''Hunters'' went North-West and followed the waters edge as a handrail back to the site. <br>
''Fishers'' moved to the South-Western banks as it was forbidden to them to see what the specialists were doing <br>
''Foragers'' using an accute knowledge of plants and direction were able to gather from the dark oak forest to the South-East where the mushrooms grew tall and plentiful.<br>
''Specialists'' made up of people trained in specialized vocations such as story-telling or blacksmithing, set to surveying and preparing the site for the others to return. Lead by the religious leader of the group, the specialists conducted a ritual to bless the lands. It is not known how this ritual is conducted, nor is it known if it worked, as when all the other trades returned, the specialists had vanished. <br>
After finishing building homes, each trade erected a statue, as well as all coming together to construct a statue in rememberance of the specialists. This was the last collabrative act before infighting began between the trade. <br>
Voyagez was founded offically, when the Trades united under Haccer, who had mastered all three vocations. Around this time, Voyagez experienced a culture shift from isolationist to general world mercantilism.
=== Notable Historical Figures ===
Lyall was the leader of the Foragers. It is said flowers bloom from her footsteps and that she sees more color than the rest of us. <br>
Percy was the leader of the Fishers. They once pulled The [[Plug at the Bottom of the Ocean]] when they were a child. The Kongongi were able to re-fasten the plug before the ocean lost a significant ammount of water. <br>
Rohdil was the leader of the Hunters. He is said to have killed Ravangers with only a wooden axe, and have arrows change direction mid-flight to strike whatever target he pleased. <br>
=== Voyagez Statues ===

==Geography==
