'''The Shipwreck, Kàreni Vothar, and the beginning of Liberto'''

While ships set sail from Europe to conquer the New World, whose history is already well known, not everyone is aware of the '''“Kàreni Vothar incident.”''' A ship set off from Spain, called the ''Lost Dawn''. The vessel was decrepit, a veteran of countless missions that had made it obsolete and ill-suited for such a journey. Its purpose was to serve as a test for the waters, so that in case of a dangerous or risky route, the only ones at risk would hypothetically be its crew.

'''The crew was composed of people who had nothing to lose''', many of whom had very little reason to live in the first place. On September 30th, 1509, at 23:23, a storm put the ship in extreme danger, causing serious problems and forcing everyone to evacuate and cling to the largest debris—at least those who wanted to survive.

'''After four days adrift on the waves''', with almost no water or food left, and little hope remaining, they finally reached the shores of an island, surrounded by several smaller islands. The island was a wild territory, rich in vegetation, food, water, and natural resources. Here, the crew had the chance to recover, build a new boat, '''return to Europe after about a year''', and start a new society. They named the island '''Ehppò''', which in the code language they had invented '''meant “Freedom.”''' Only people who were sad, hopeless, and who believed they had nothing left to live for in Europe were allowed to settle here.

The number 4 later became culturally known as the “Lucky Number,” due to the four days spent adrift at sea. They returned to the island, and in the following decades, the first tens of thousands of people settled there, giving rise to the first four villages, which today are the most important cities. The cities were placed far apart from each other, both to avoid “stealing” resources from one another and to take advantage of the island’s highly varied fauna and flora.

The cities were named '''Ery I, II, III, IV.''' “Ery” simply means “Day.” Today, the Ery are by far the four most populous cities, with '''Ery III (Liberto) being the largest (about 20 million inhabitants), followed by Ery II (17 million), Ery I (15 million), and Ery IV (12.5 million).'''
