During the period of Olthoi enslavement, a man named Foster discovered the castle that would later be known as Neydisa Castle. He lived there until the liberation came, and vowed to never return. Later, a group left Cragstone and took up residence within Bandit Castle. There was a disagreement in the group, and some, led by the woman Neydisa, left Bandit Castle and made their way to Foster's Fort. Neydisa herself passed away prior to the era of Lifestones, and the place came to be known as Neydisa Castle.<ref name=HistoryOfNeydisaCastle>1999/11 Release - History of Neydisa Castle</ref>

Should the Stars Fall

When the Vesayen Isles were introduced, we were given some details on the founding of Kryst, MacNiall's Freehold, and how Isparians ended up on those islands. These new details come from the texts The History of Kryst and The History of Vesayen Isles.

The History of Kryst is written by Natalie the Scribe. The other characters that appear in it are Zenzaburou Hensu, Vanten, Vesayen Hylin, and Sharon. The events described in this text can be summarized as follows:

During the time of Olthoi enslavement, Zenzaburou, Vanten, and Vesayen tried to plan an escape. After a strange earthquake, they set their plan into motion. They gathered other slaves and exited the Olthoi nest through a portal. They were pursued by Olthoi into the forest, losing some of their ranks as they fled. They eventually found another portal. Zenzaburou and Vesayen guided everyone through the portal, intent on being the last two through. Zenzaburou barely made it, Vesayen did not. In the end, 20 had made it through the portal. They founded Kryst. The dangers of these islands meant that they had lost a few others, and, due to this lack in safety, some people left Kryst, living further in the chain of Isles.<ref name=TheHistoryOfKryst>2000/11 Should the Stars Fall - The History of Kryst</ref>

The History of Vesayen Isles is written by Onda Nakoza. Other characters that appear in it are MacDugal, MacNiall, Shi Ki-Yong, Jourgensson, Zenzaburou Hensu, and Vesayen Hylin. The events described in this text can be summarized as follows:

During the time of Olthoi enslavement, a group of slaves led by the cousins MacDugal and MacNiall made their escape one night. They saw an unstable portal in the distance. MacNiall wanted to go through the portal, while MacDugal did not, reminding them that mysterious portals had led to their years of Olthoi enslavement. The group split, with MacDugal and others heading to the foothills, and MacNiall and his band taking the portal. On the other side of the portal, they found another band of escaped slaves, led by Zenzaburou and Vesayen. The two groups settled together, but the shared settlement failed, as MacNiall and his band could not live with the traditionalists. They left and founded Freehold.

Later Additions

In the 2003 article The History of Auberean Volume V a date of -12 PY is given for when the group of escaped Isparian slaves find the portal to the Vesayen isle and found Kryst. It reiterates that differences in the group led to some leaving to found MacNiall's Freehold.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5>2003/03 A Perfect Paradox - The History of Auberean: Volume V: New Arrivals (-540 to 13)</ref>
