Erinamese Historians look back at early Erinamese culture and date the earliest settlers of modern Erinaum back 55,000 years, although most of its history was clan warfare to gain control of iron, stone and farmland. The union that is seen today in modern Erinaum has only existed for 1,792 years. The Estuvarians (Once known as the Greater Erinamese, now extinct) of the south were found to have little resemblance to the Erinamese of the highlands and have history of conquering and strife stretching back possibly 8 million years.
Weeks after this discovery, a massive earthquake hits West Erinaum. Several buildings in Erinaum and New Caprica topple to the ground. A part of the East Wing of the Great Library in Erinaum collapses. Several Caprican artifacts are damaged or destroyed, including some of the first original Caprican printing presses. An original statue of Gyrtyunau, a philosopher from a thousand years ago is damaged by a falling bookshelf from the second story library in the North Wing. A large Avalonian fortification topples into the Great Cbrown town 3000 miles away. Fires consume inland Erinamese cities in the deserts and southern highlands. The Erinamese Civil Relief force is working at 110% potential. Erinaum sends a message of urgency to Avalonia.
