I completely forgot about the Ancients.. Also didn't occur to me the whole, things weren't already there, dunno what I WAS thinking. I agree that SOMEONE had to have been living in Wen before the Yureddo colonies came, theres just no way there wasn't. As you've mentioned before with the NA company that manages their version of Elder Tales, the way they make it sound is that there either really wasn't anyone in Wen (extremely unlikely) or that they are disregarding the Indians existance before the English settlers came. I feel that it's either just a side effect of nowhere but Yamato being the focus of the main story and Mamare just wasn't really putting that much thought into it and it doesn't actually mean anything or that, lets say if this game was real, the in-game lore might be reflecting how the English settlers treated the Indians, killing them, stealing from them and generally regarding them as lesser creatures. Though, again since the focus was on Yamato for the actual story, I think its just something that was looked at as not important enough to look over for "sensitivity" or politcal correctness or whatever, not for Mamare anyways.

But if we were going to go with the idea that Elder Tales was real, I'd think that it was probably just a reflection of English settlers views on the Indians rather than the NA company being racists. Since Elder Tales, the world, is a future version of what would be real history, than it's quite likely that it is just that.

Or I could just be spittin shit out of my mouth completely and its really just nothing at all besides a lack of detail for a place that wasn't even slightly part of the main story.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ADDITION: Speaking of the ancients, I was thinking of a pretty neat side story involving the Black Hills area that may contain some of these "none existing pre-Yureddo settlers". From the little info from your Areas of Interest section it seemed neat enough to maybe write a good side story out of. Though I really need to get to just writing my main story at all first. So much laziness. Still trying to work on names which seem to be more difficult than anything else in the whole of writing.
