The land now called Eastern Delgamia was claimed for Lendia 241 BP, with the arrival of the Lendian fleet on the northern coast commanded by Luca Telmarino. The Lendians encountered indigenous peoples divided into several tribes in the north-east of the country. In 233 BP, Admiral Edwin de Meerton landed on the southern shores of Eastern Delgamia and claimed the lands for the Angliyan crown. During the early years of colonization, Indigenous and Longerathian groups lived in constant war, establishing opportunistic alliances in order to gain advantages against each other.
