History
Hethmora was undiscovered for much of history. Pennesios makes no mention of the island in his Voyages. It may have been visited by the Solcians, as ancient Solcian shipwrecks have been found off the island's south coast; however, this could be due to the natural movement of tides. Solcian coins have also been found on the island, but these may have been brought by later explorers.
Settlement from Nuro
Early Eiconians and Norvenes
The earliest known settlements on Hethmora were built by Eiconians around 825 AD. Several Norvenian sailors visited Hethmora throughout the 9th century, and met with isolated groups of Eiconians there, according to traditional accounts. The Norvenes began settling Hethmora in earnest in the late 9th and early 10th centuries.
