At this time the Avearians named the island Celamyr. The Chieftain at the time too Celamyr as his families last name.

At this time the Avearian governor tried to exert power over the tribes. The Mirish stormed the governors palace and drove out the governor and the Avearian government.

Toshasa first act was to declare to declare Puramyr capital of the new Kingdom of Puramyr. Historical Note: The expulsion of the Avearian governor was just the governor and the government.
