Their early history is partially a mystery. Not much effort has been expended trying to learn more about it. What is known or at least what a few educated experts believe is that each of the 15 large island continents may have had their own distinct cultural sub-group. In this certain tales and legends tend to support this and describe certain wars and conflicts that resulted in the elimination of some of these groups.
