Primus Territory

The Primus Territory refers to the entire breadth of the geology of the Cindershore universe. the area exists on the southwestern edge of the continent of Longinus Maximus. It is of particular importance due to its material wealth and strategic value. Anthropologists believe humans first settled the area around 13,000 years ago, forming small nomadic settlements along the area's abundant rivers and deltas. There have been various periods of global cooling and warming over the millennia that have driven human civilization from the region. After the end of the most recent ice age approximately 6,400 years ago, a robust group of peoples dubbed the Jennanites settled the area currently known as the Synovian Desert. The area however was lush and green at the time of settlement, as evidenced by soil and sediment analysis, as well as the discovery of early agricultural implements. It is believed that modern day Jennanites still inhabit this area, and have learned how to subsist in their original homeland, which is now inhospitable to all but the most hardy of lifeforms. 
Modern settlements of the territory only occurred approximately 2,400 years later with the arrival of the Havanites. These were a robust group of agricultural workers that tamed the area's local flora and fauna, creating an empire that would eventually lead to the regime and events of the Iron Coalition.
