The Barnibus Islands is a group of islands and a district of Samuelonia , located in the Dark Sea, situated to the west of mainland Samuelonia. The Barnibus Islands consists of Barnibus island and three smaller islands, Victory Island, Isle of Cassia and Kevakus Island. The combined population of the four islands is 631,000.

History[]

Barnibus was first settled by Salvonian tribes who migrated from mainland Samuelonia. The earliest Salvonian artefacts found on Barnibus have been dated to around 4500 BP. In 1600 BP, the King of Samuelonia sent Lord Barnibus Avanti, on an expedition to claim the islands in the name of St. Samuel. The primitive Salvonian tribes living on the island numbered around five thousand and at first tried to repel the Samuelonian force. But there primitive weapons were no match for Avanti's men. Lord Barnibus claimed the Salvonian survivors as his own personal slaves, in a bid to stop his men from commiting crimes against the tribal people and allowed the Salvonian peoples to live peacefully in there own communities.

Lord Barnibus Avanti founded the city of New Liliana on the south-east coast of Barnibus Island. The Salvonian community soon integrated with the Samuelonian's and in time moved away from there primitive way of life.

During the the Uestadenia and Anglodascunya Empire period, in which they occupied St. Samuel, the Barnibus Island's declared there independence and from 580 BP to around 420 BP became known as the Barnibus Federation.

During the outbreak of the Longerathian War, the Barnibus Federation, supported the King of St. Samuel and upon St. Samuel's independence from the Anglodascunyan Empire, declared itself a territry of the Kingdom of St. Samuel.

Upon the outbreak of the Great Plague, which ravaged most of Longerath, the Senator of the Barnibus Islands, Harold Fozenta, declared all travel and trade to cease, which meant the island remained relatively unharmed by the plague.
