History of Island 1

The history of Island 1 is told in stone: in the Glavica's layers, going down is going back in time. This timeline collects what the plans establish; the rest is still to be written.

Before the Iron Age	The sea is already held back beneath the headland by something unknown	The held sea
Iron Age, about 5th–1st c. BC	The Delmatae build a hillfort (gradina) on the Glavica's crown and a sanctum below the sea around the source. A prehistoric ring wall also stands on the ridge saddle, later reused by Gradina	The Illyrian hillfort
Late Roman, about 3rd–5th c.	A Roman official's octagonal tomb is raised on the crown; the fossores cut catacombs; a cistern is built in the cave	The Roman tomb

Stara Luka is planned as the island's port and the seat of a count (his hall is deferred for the demo).
Valponte, the inland market town, is the seat of the landholding family.
Gradina is a garrison and toll post; its soldiers are paid from the interior.

Not yet decided

Years and dates, the names of the count, the families and the island itself, the wider history of the realm, and how the islands relate: Unconfirmed — awaiting the director.
