Establishment of the Sovereign Firstsong Islands

Founding

At some unknown point in the later 600s or early 700s I.M., a small but stable population would defect from the New Rozsan Empire to begin an independent nation in a small Voiward archipelago that would become known as the Firstsong Islands. Expeditionary forces under Vierix Echidna first noted their presence in 720 I.M., and soon after their refusal to resubmit to New Rozsan rule. These people would become known as the Noa-Aina-Koroa, and would maintain their independence despite a series of violent campaigns to bring them back to heel. The Firstsongs are the second of only two nations to defect from the First Empires prior to the the Great Fractionation.
