The De(u)van Isles

Institute Standard: Acimonei Devis Old De'van: The Deuvin Isles Pjuurakian: Tefiin-iin-ooka̯ruf-ufiimak 
== Overview ==
The De(u)vin Isles are a group of islands located on eastern Kashar-Maht. It is home to 3 nations: The Institute, Avalonia, and Ãangtje-te.
The largest island is called Great Devin (Institute Standard: Grandevis, Old De'van: Deuvin, Pjuurakian: Ka̯ruf-ufiimak), and is split between the 3 powers. The northern island chain is known as the Dildic Isles, or simply the Dildics. It is split between Avalonia and Ãangtje-te. The small island west of Great Devin is called Terminus, while the 2 small islands to the east is called The Dordic Isles. Terminus and the Dordics are both owned by the Institute.
== History ==
==== Prehistory ====
Civilisation first began on Great Devin around 1000 years before the founding of Avalonia and the Institute (-1000 Post Consellem; After Foundation). These ancient De'vans used stone tools for agriculture and city constructions and prospered forming complex democratic and mercantile societies ahead of its time. Around -150 AS, a Witch Queen named Rivin came to power and dominated the entirety of Devin. Though her rule gave greater stability and prosperity to the island at first, she grew increasingly corrupt as the years passed. However, the discovery of the Elder Texts in -19 AS on the hills of what would later become the First Bastion proved to be a turning point in her reign. As she obsessed over the Texts, funding for expeditions ever increased. 
One such group of explorers, who would become the Founders of the Institution, abandoned their loyalty and went into hiding in West Devin. The First Bastion was then established in -17 AS. There, the Founders slowly gathered popular support against the Queen, preaching of the Texts' powers and prophecies, promising prosperity and freedom from the Queen. By -14 AS, most of West Devin was in the hands of the Institute, and the Founders built up defences in the First and Second Bastions in preparation for conflict. During this time, Republican factions sprung up throughout all of Devin. 
In -3 AS, a group of nomadic Pjuurak tribespeople, who would later form Ãangtje-te, arrived in the largely desolate northern part of the island. Ãangtje-te was confederated in -2 AS. 
In 0 AS, the Xin uprising overthrew threw the Queen, and both the Republic of Avalonia, in the East, and the Institute, in the West, were officially founded. Republicans are purged in Institute-controlled Devin, and negotiations immediately break down.
The Triple Concordat was then signed on verge of the Bronze Age, mediated by Ãangtje-te, which established a formal peace in the De(u)van Isles, dividing the archipelago equitably among the three powers.
