History
Similar to the rest of Acadia Island, East Acadia was primarily home to many native groups such as Langonayan and the Karao'ah who lived primarily in agriculturally rich river valleys. Evidence suggests's the Langonyan have lived in East Acadia as long as 10,000 years ago. As opposed to nearby provinces, East Acadia became a center for Minjian settlement. Pindai for example was built in 1090 around a central temple with surrounding market stalls. These settlers eventually organized into the Pindai State, a monarchal trade kingdom that became a hub for the region and Acadia Island. The Pindai State was one of the first organized kingdoms to make contact with the Costeno Empire in 1567. Their relationship was tense, however, as Pindai officials largely denied Costeno settlements into the region and banned the practice of Catholicism.
