Shalottepedia > The Royal Isles of Shalotte > History wrote:Several waves of ancient Celtic settlers arrived on Hiort throughout the period between 1,000 B.C. and 800 B.C. The method by which they arrived is unknown, as the distance from Shalotte to the nearest landmass is significant. Some archaeologists believe that the earliest Shalotte settlers arrived via a land bridge which has since been swallowed by the Debruné Sea, while others suggest it is more likely that they arrived via boat, as there is insufficient evidence for a land bridge extending from Shalotte to any other land mass.
During this early period, the early Shalottes stuck to the southern coast of Hiort, their settlements literally dug into the ground rather than build from stone or wood, presumably to protect themselves from the heavy winds and harsh winters the islands are frequently subjected to. Early houses were similar to Celtic roundhouses, except they were dug into the earth rather than erected, and featured reasonably advanced features such as chimneys, ventilation and multiple compartments. Evidence has been found to suggest that these early structures had separate rooms for sleeping, cooking and communal areas, all carved into the rock.
From 900 B.C. onwards the settlers moved south to the north coast of Turea and began to spread further north into the heart of Hiort. It is not until 700 B.C. that tools and early structures began to appear on the northernmost island of Paen.
After 800 B.C. no new immigrants are believed to have arrived on the islands, nor did any settlers emigrate, thus beginning the millennia-long isolation period of the burgeoning settlement.
800 B.C. - 100 A.D.
As the Shalottes spread out across the islands and their population expanded - at a slow, but steady rate - clans began to form. Settlements expanded their territory closer together and banded together, forming divisions with other tribes. These clans all shared the same religious beliefs and cultures, but they all vied for valuable resources and occasionally came to blows during difficult seasons.
The largest such conflict is believed to have occurred in the 650s B.C. when two of the largest clans - Damnoni and Selgovae - engaged in a large battle, with over a thousand soldiers per side, along with additional troops from their minor clan allies. This battle took place near the east coast of Hiort, which to this day remains one of the more fertile areas of the island. Numerous iron weapons such as spear tips and basic swords have been found strewn across a wide area in this region, though no remains have been discovered. This is believed to have been the last significant battle between Shalotte clans, though many of the tribes formed remain prominent and their names are used as Shalotte surnames, while the Domnaeni line was drawn from the victorious Selgovae clan. From this date onwards there is no evidence of any further conflagrations, and islanders appear to have remained peaceful since - but the various settlements were not united under the same banner for a further seven hundred years.
[...]
It was in 109 A.D. that Shalotte was united - at least in so much as the people of Shalotte ceased to recognise any divisions - and the position of Domnaeni was established, drawn from the matriarch of the dominant Selgovae clan, which won the last major battle several hundred years prior. It wasn't until 1500 A.D. that a formal, national government body was established to support the Domnaeni. Their method of government prior to the establishment of the Gaeltyn in Alauna was highly decentralised, as the various settlements had their own mayors or family heads taking care of administrative work, only occasionally meeting with the other leaders of other settlements to discuss broader topics.

Today we have no news. No really, us at the news studio have actually run out of things to report and absolutely nothing interesting seems to happen. We tried playing अंताक्षरी, but after singing every bollywood song in existence about 5 times over, we couldn't even pretend to be having fun. God help us.

tl;dr - after nuclear war, corrupt oligarchical hellhole emerges. ogre leads revolution, kills oligarchs after civil war, improves quality of life with progressive social policies and industrialization. couple foreign invasions, assassination attempts, personal losses, and rebellions later, ogre goes psychotic and kills anyone he’s sus of. then a fascist midget invades and kills third of the population, ogre manages to defeat him but goes completely bonkers.
now we got a hyper-totalitarian hyper-militaristic industrial hive-mind quasi-slave state that the ogre 70 years ago would be horrified at
