The Founders: Glanos, Sahart and Emalia. Glanos and Sahart where the children of Elara and Carme, and grandchildren of Callisto and Sinope, the two original humans (Maya's offspring from her union with the Unnamable Horror). Emalia was the daughter of Pasiphae (direct descendent of Callisto and Sinope) and Balam (descended from Ledo and Himalia, also directly descended from Callisto and Sinope).
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 Peshwar Delta near the Eastern ocean. These cities became known as Ashtan and Shallam, respectively.
