Once their society had fully incorporated themselves onto Liccus XII, they declared that they were the Third Union of the Wismaga, which hints at that possibility that their society is much older than their recorded history.

Most Chief Ministers are aged in their 60s, but Lucus Kesar was 42 when he became Chief Minister, making him the youngest in their recorded history.
