East Amina seems to have first been settled by outriders from West Amina who crossed the river to escape the authority of the Green Hoods and a social order they felt didn't properly appreciate them. Much of East Amina's history is wrapped up in the individual histories of the open nomadic communities bearing the will of the original expatriate outriders, with few if any permanent settlements except for those on the coast of the Silent Sea. Recent centuries however have seen attempts by one of the horse-lords to unify the independent tribes into a nation-state. Threats, violence, and promises of abundance have brought many wanderers within the ever-growing walls of Progress, his new capital, and rumor long holds that his may turn beyond his borders when all the horse-lords ride behind his banner.
