Founded in 3721 RM, just over a decade after the Sundering of the Korachani empire left Sarastro as an independent state, Ipsissima is located far in the southeast of Sammaea, along the southern Polar Circle.

For many centuries prior to the founding of the colony explorers returned home with tales of natives who made use of pearlescent spheres to aid in their shaping. It was confirmed that these were soulstones in around 3400 RM, though given the harsh weather of the region, little effort was made to explore further.

Following its independence, Sarastro began searching for prospective colonies where it might find much-needed resources. Ipsissima was rapidly earmarked for exploitation and after tentative years of conflict with locals, whose cultures were eradicated by 3720 RM, a colony was established there, rapidly growing to take advantage of polar resources as well as the soulstones for which the area has become famed.

It is well fortified and its people are hard workers, rewarded for their labours with rich income from trade with Sarastro as well as surrounding lands.
