Founding of Portia

The Founding of Portia occurred in about 0 PT and marked the creation of the colonial superpower Portia on the continent of Pangea Proxima 1.

History
Portian salticids were originally part of the Terran Mingle and developed alongside Mingle culture. However, after the creation of the first Document, tensions between the various species skyrocketed, with various interpretations of the Document competing for prominence - specifically, a disagreement between proponents of the two ideologies that would become Documentism and Sun Worship. This culminated in the breakaway of Portia from the whole and the theft of the Document. Legend holds that the Knighted Queen Schifshech, the first Portian Queen and infamous trickster of Portian myth, stole the Document from its communal pedestal and fled past the mountains, setting up camp in modern Portia with her Queensguard and consort.

Impact
As Portians made up a significant part of the Mingle population, the sudden disappearance of almost every Portian salticid had a major impact on Terran culture. What was once a closely-knit community of communities was destabilized, eventually leading to the formation of separate Terran ethnostates.
