Much of the history prior to the arrival of humanoid species remains shrouded in mystery. Of the indigenous lifeforms on the planet at the time, only three societies had developed written record, and it had been a recent invention, only invented a century prior to humanoid contact. The remainder, of which the majority had been exterminated by the end of the second century of humanoid occupation, were rather feudal in social structure, and their language was in the midst of a massive vocalic shift towards more humanoid sounds, which started around ten years prior to contact.
