== History ==
At an unknown date First of the Sun was formed within the Drominad system, humans are not a recent addition to the planets ecosystem indicating they may have arrived early in its history.{{wob ref|10841}} Throughout its history many [[Shards]] have meddled with the planet and its inhabitants,{{wob ref|9385}} of particular note is the Shard [[Autonomy]]
Various expeditions have been undertaken by [[Silverlight]] in order to explore the planet but are generally hampered due to the fact that the
During the [[True Desolation]] [[Hoid]] requested for assistance from Autonomy in combatting [[Odium]]. Patji however intercepted the letter and declined the offer unless Hoid earned their respect by surviving the challenges on the [[Patji (island)|Islands]]. Hoid never visited First of the Sun and so never completed this challenge,{{wob ref|7135}} he did before attempt to get onto the planet however.{{wob ref|8937}}

'''Eelakins''' are solitary trappers from the Eelakin isles. They value the ability to survive on one's own. They speak very little, and will sometimes go weeks without speaking. Each carries a book in which they record their life. On the last page, they leave a brief message to whichever hunter finds them when they die, often requesting their rival trapper to care for their birds. They live a very harsh and difficult way of life. They rely on their Aviar to protect them, and develop very strong bonds with their birds. The Mainlanders tend to romanticize their ability to live with the forest, when in fact the trappers would much rather live on islands with no predators. They don't often ask questions about the ways of things, instead simply accepting it as a way of life. They name their children according to the time when they were born, and their position in the birth order. If somebody were named Eleventh of the Morning, they would be their parent's eleventh child, and born during the morning.
'''Mainlanders''' are much more scientifically developed than the Eelakins. They question traditions, and seek to develop scientifically advanced technology. They consider themselves much more advanced
