The Founders Glanos, Sahart and Emalia, children of Elara and Carme, and grandchildren (great-grandchild in the case of Emalia) of Callisto and Sinope, the two original humans (Maya's offspring from her union with the Unnamable Horror).
Sahart and Glanos, their lifelong friendship torn apart by their love for Emalia both departed Ceylon with over half of the population of the city. Glanos settled in the plains near the Western Ocean, at the northern end of the Vashnar Mountains. Sahart, on the other hand, ventured across the continent and settled in the Pashwar Delta near the Eastern ocean. These cities became known as Ashtan and Shallam, respectively.
