Colonization is the spreading of a species into a new place, and in this case, the spreading of the humans on Echo’s Southern Continent to the rest of the planet.

Colonization on Echo
Around year 1234 was the first confirmed and recorded voyage to the two unnamed jungle continents from the Southern one. After that, people started going more often to get the goods they could find there, like spices, new crops, and new minerals. They cut down more of the jungle and were not so nice to the people who lived there. In 1246, people started making small settlements which turned into larger colonies. In 1345, a small war broke out and a small country was founded there.

Over the years, people began to make it easier to travel between the continents, and it was no longer hard- people would go all the time. In 1458, however, people went off on another voyage into a different part of the ocean, hoping to find more new land with new riches. A few weeks later, they hit land, a new place with new people who tried to negotiate with them. The southerners, however, refused to negotiate and demanded to be shown around and to be given what they had came for. In 1462, a war started that lasted for many years, until they came to an agreement in 1474. Only a few years later, they started establishing colonies there, and the people there actually took some of the southern continent as their own years later, in 1512. Since then, travel between the three (They thought of the two jungle continents as one) continents has been made easier.
