    The first people settle on Gronerwig
    When the first people arrived in Tropicopia, they were overwelmed by the size of the archipelago. The first island they came across was Anor-Diivon. But because it was surrounded with a wall of mountains, they could not go on land. Then they travelled around, and came to Shoneromako. They saw a giant mountain, and thought the gods would live up there. Because they were afraid, they went on and they travelled further. They then reached Gronerowig. They settled there, and built the first town.
