History
According to their semi-legendary history, the origins of the Bźatan people lie with the exile of Venģa, king of the Bźaţi people, who fled from the advancing Romans, who were taking over his homeland of Prêńa (Great Britain) c.80 AD. Setting sail from the west coast of Prêńa in one of seven ships, the king and his allies sailed westward into the Atlantic Ocean in search of an island believed to lie beyond the horizon. After three weeks and three days of hard sailing they eventually landed on the shores of Ǎĺêsa, the main eastern isle of the Ensva Veśru. Here the exiles settled under Venģa's leadership.
While this story contains literary imagery, the origin of the Bźaţi people within mainland Britain aligns with the origins of their language within Common Brittonic, which was spoken across mainland Britain prior to the arrival of the Romans.
Alongside the Bźaţi people, other groups came across the sea, the Crauģi, the Śaći, the Tećvrezi and the Catrevi, who settled on other, poorer parts of the archipelago and were permitted to remain partly independent as long as their leaders swore fealty and paid tax to the kings of the Bźati.
