Originally a strictly elven island, however, as their population thinned when they moved to [[Voltrex]], a large number of humans, halflings, and even dwarves have disembarked on its shores in search of new opportunities. It has been divided into regions called shires. After the coming of the Dark Ages in 1402, the influx of people increased as the warm climate and vast expanses of uninhabited open fields and robust forests have spared [[Vanavar]] from the worst famine.


Each shire kept to itself in the past, functioning autonomously but maintaining trade routes to ensure access to raw materials not present in their lands. This arrangement allowed sharp contrasts to develop in the panorama of the settlements. [[North Hampton]] was a robust region that provided public works for its happy population, and Cel, on the island's southern shore, was characterized by clusters of hovels, shanties, and huts where sewage flowed freely on the streets as rats scurried by without a thought for the miserable pedestrians. This gap between the shires was propagated, and it was seen as acceptable for a Celian to never aspire to be more than a farmer, herder, or fisherman.
