Isolate Period Human Communities
After the Dissolution, small groups of human survivors banded together in ten locations across the northeastern edge of Ilerda. With limited memories of the world before and no surviving technology or shelter, these groups each had to attempt to build community. They each spoke a new language and developed separately, not yet knowing any other survivors existed.
Some contemporary ethnic groups claim sole "true" descent from these groups, but each split into dozens of groups and languages and traditions. Historians have assigned classificatory names for each Isolate Period group rather than associate them with any specific modern group or attempt to reconstruct what they may have called themselves.
