	Kerbal inhabitance in Kolus began relatively late: circa. 200 CE, after the Axial Age. Comprising of migrations from the Western Norian Steppe, the Root-Burric developed a sedentary and agrarian lifestyle, sustaining off a pescatarian diet of maize, shrimp, and Aontan and Kolusian fish. Early Shiven dwellings were composed of baked soil and later animal hide. The first extinctions in the area, most notably the Aontan [[wikipedia:Shrimp\|decapods]] and the erasure of most species of [[wikipedia:Maize\|maize]] have been attributed to Kerbal expansion.

−	Kerbal inhabitance in Kolus began relatively late: circa. 200 CE, after the Axial Age. Comprising of migrations from the Western Norian Steppe, the ~~Proto~~-~~Mambic~~ developed a sedentary and agrarian lifestyle, sustaining off a pescatarian diet of maize, shrimp, and Aontan and Kolusian fish. Early Shiven dwellings were composed of baked soil and later animal hide. The first extinctions in the area, most notably the Aontan [[wikipedia:Shrimp\|decapods]] and the erasure of most species of [[wikipedia:Maize\|maize]] have been attributed to Kerbal expansion. Nomadic in nature, the population gradually shifted east and became what would be the modern Samagi and later Aviennic, inhabiting Shive.	+	Kerbal inhabitance in Kolus began relatively late: circa. 200 CE, after the Axial Age.
