Apartigi

Apartigi is the native people inhabiting the northern and eastern part of Izual.

As the colonialists came to Izual they were met by painted people on the beaches. Whilst they were not willing to give up their land for free nor were they too concerned to fight large battles with the seemingly highly technological Pavians.

Little is known about their nature, and about who they actually are. The smaller villages that the Pavians came over once they started pushing in were simple yet planned. Once people starting entering the forests, that's when the wars started. Most of those who entered the large forests never came out. The ones that managed to come out of the forest again told tales of these painted people attacking from the shadows. Thousands upon thousands of them coming out from the shadows, running down into the heavily armored forces with nothing but simple weapons, or so they thought. It was a complete slaughter. A tenth, maybe less, returned from the forests.

Diplomacy was saught, and reached. A consensus of who was to settle where came forth and we now have the borders that we do in the silver coast. Still, pirates and other dare devils try and enter the forests and find whatever riches may be hidden there.
