-First human settlements are believed to have appeared on the western part of the Continent, and for many centuries had not ventured east due to the [[Great Desert]]. First expeditions have been recorded in the 4th century of the [[dantrian calendar|first revolution]]. After the 5th century both east and west parts of the Continent have become populated by decentralized tribes, but the ties between the two sides seemed to have been intermittent.+First human settlements are believed to have appeared on the western part of the Continent, and for many centuries had not ventured east due to the [[Ouna]].

-There are three major religions on the Continent: [[Rahkahnja]],​ [[Davinia]] ​and [[Xaewoon]]. ​The three religions ​have coexisted relatively peacefully and few conflicts were based on disagreements between ​the three. However, significant disagreements have spawned within each of the religions, which is especially true for Rahkahnja and Davinia, and have driven significant conflict throughout history, resulting in the Chalice Wars and a Tarnarian ​conflict known as Bitter Lemon which has lasted for over a century during the Second Revolution.+There are four major religions on the Continent: [[Rahkahnja]],​ [[Davinia]][[Xaewoon]] and [[Foft]]. In spite of irreconcilable differences,​ almost all religions ​of Continent are either ​based on or at least address ​the myth of [[Eater]], which is the preeminent part of Ahldorean theology.
