History

Pures of the mainland Igolt traveling to the island chain from the mainland, becoming disconnected and culturally common among each other. Adopting and altering the Kenjuit language formed by the Sept of Ig in Igolt into a dialect used in Bessc. Originally 6 Septs ruled the islands, yet a sickness swept the Tropics poisoning the waters of 2 of the 6 Septs, killing the children of the next generation.
The tribes that gathers to take their share of population growth were given nothing and thus attacked the Septs, taking what they could. From the ruin of these Septs the tribes migrated to the living Septs. Ones that survived the illness or not spread to their spawning pools grew from the migration. Some small conflict occur to sieze the septs for their own tribes, yet only in Su was it successful. Rpl, Oi, and Mes endured making a pacts to defend each other.
This pact was offered to the new Pures ruling Su some decades later after the fear of them faded to past myth. When Copper became a common tool in Igolt, adopted by Bessc and the Lehimri region soon the Copper Wars broke out. Upon the Pulsal Raids from Lehimri Bessc was unable to defend themselves from such attacking forces. In a desperate attempt to survive the continuous attacks Bessc expressed their concepts of Diplomacy to Ig and the Septs of Igolt. In doing so Igolt Septs became more complex with more diplomatic behaviors among them.
Offering themselves as a protectorate state or Vassal to Igolt the forming of Iggmo Septs arise. Ending the Copper Wars the Bronze Kingdoms developed in Bessc and Igolt as Bessc began to reach out around the coastlines of Wess. Eventually through many failed attempts reaching peaceful contact with the Wesser Homins.
