Sorry for the delay, RL work stuff haha. Here's the timeline I was thinking about for the colonial efforts in this subcontinent (we should really give it a name).
-1250s-1290s: The region is "discovered" and mapped by West Brigidnan explorers.
-1290s-1310s: Initial colonial ventures by various trade companies, sovereign states, etc. make landfall in the region (we really need to find a good name). Many of these fail, or are consumed by larger ventures over the next few decades, for various reasons.
-1310s-1350s: Four main colonial entities survive from 7 initial landfalls. Lanlanian, (two landfalls), Castleon (one landfall), Florinthian (two landfalls) and Soyabarian (two landfalls). T(map is in discord somewhere). These groups use different methods, policies, etc. but all manage to last. I'll leave how the others do colonies to them, but Florinthian trade companies will be co-operating with Arkianians (to the north) and will create a sort of dual-colony with them. I'll talk with Arkman on what our colonial policies will be like. I'm pretty excited about this concept. The Castleons will be pretty brutal to the natives, and will focus on resource extraction primarily, along with plantations and slave labor.
-1350s-1450s: Colonies continue to develop, but there is unrest among the natives perhaps? Also, are there wars among the colonizing states? There could be some sort of changing of hands in that case.
-1450s-15??s: at some point, these states become independent of their colonial masters. The exact process of this is TBD, and could be different for each one. We will be left with several post-colonial states, with diverse influences, both brigidnan, arkianian, and native. There could be multiple states for each colonial zone. These states can now play with each other, cooperatively or aggressively. I'm not sure how New Zealmark became independent IC, but it could be more recently.
WHAT THIS ACCOMPLISHES:
-it establishes lore for the region that doesnt have a ton
-it creates players in this region for New Zealmark, Ishnalla, Svarna, Arkiania, etc. to play with/against
-It increases New Zealmarks size - we could have NZ simply get bigger, or we could have a second Soyabar ex colony to the west of New Zealmark, bigger than your initial claim, that you could seek to unify with in the modern period. That second idea could be pretty interesting and goes along with your initial request a bit. But yeah MOAR LAND
