Although there is little decipherable record of pre-Jæmkan Civitown, historians have been able to find runic carvings throughout the Highlands mentioning the life of Ylünd culture, dating back to about the year -650, and it is widely accepted that the Ylünd people settled in the region 0during prehistory. Historians have largely agreed on this reconstruction of the ancient Ylünd culture:
Ylünd people were pescatarians who would fish from nearby bodies of water two times each day, while some other members of the culture would live on the plains and farm fruits and vegetables for their clan to eat.
The Ylünd people were divided into clans based on family lineage and location. Most clans lived in the lower areas of the Highlands. These clans would often form coalitions when food was low, competing with other coalitions. One known example of this is the Bridge War, where a coalition of highlands clans would attack several plains clans over fish. That incident is also believed to be the origin of spears.
Ancient Civitown was also the home of many other peoples. The Ylünd clans were more hostile were more hostile to those foreign cultures than each other.
Eventually the Ylünd clans may have united into tribes, known as the Ecivins, the Highlanders, and the Desolatians. There is another hypothesised tribe known as the Ukavans, but little information is known about them.
In the year -251, General Ikob Konra of the early Jæmkan Empire discovered and claimed the islands of what is now Civitown. Due to previous hostile interactions with cultures related to the Ylünd culture, the Jæmkans would attempt to violently destroy the supposed threat of the Ylünd peoples, who they called the "ilanter tribes". Fortunately for the natives, the imperial soldiers weren't adequately trained to invade the highlands. However, the flatter regions were quickly conquered, forcing the surviving Ecivins to flee the islands and move westwards, which they did by capturing and later modifying Jæmkan boats. The Highlander tribe would regularly rebel against Jæmkan rule over the islands and occasionally destroyed parts of the Jamestown settlement. 251 years later, the Jæmkan Empire would be sent into a period of chaos and the Highlanders would fully take over the settlement of Jamestown, taking the place of the Ecivin tribe.
Researchers have traced the DNA of peoples such as the Tarinai and even as far as the Wegralis to the Ylünd people, and historians have deemed this to be a result of the Ecivin tribe's migration away from their homeland over the course of about 350-500 years. This also explains the use of spears in ancient Gulthan, Brobistan, and Rekia. The Ecivin migrations are also considered a part of the wide influence of Scrunklic beliefs, which the Ecivins likely picked up from the Gulthani tribe of Imsko.
