Cadoc, who was the nephew of King Henry III, was himself a wealthy hemp magnate and aquired the islands in 1145, in order to extend his empire and to cultivate massive hemp fields. At that time the islands inhabitants numbered around 10,000, and were of Gothic descent. Living in a mainly pastoral manner, they were ruled by (sometimes ruthless) Barons who sought only to make themselves rich and comfortable at the expense of others. Cadoc sought revenge there after his childhood friend was captured and executed there after an expedition to one of the smaller islands. Since his father was the brother of King Henry, Cadoc had made many aquaintances throughout Europe, and through these contacts, put together a small army of German and Cornish mercinaries and attacked dal'qöria in 1143. The battle only lasted a matter of days. The inhabitants welcomed the demise of the power Barons, but Cadoc saw a huge opportunity to develop his empire on the island. 2 years later, after settling some home-affairs and appointing associates to manage his estates, he returned to the island, where over the next 30 years, set up a government, established one of the biggest hemp productions in Europe, built ports which provided an import and export trade, built up towns and a city, brought education, law and sanitation.<br/>The language at that time was almost unique to dal'qöria, and although there is still ambiguity as to its origins, Cadoc's own studies revealed that the first people on the islands were a group of persecuted Goths and Anglo-saxons (and possibly some Celts, though this cannot be substantiated) and the language had developed in an attemt at isolating themselves from the rest of Europe. This included the creation of the old dal'qörian script.<
Dalin Cadoc was a wealthy Cornish hemp magnate and land owner, who was a childhood friend and business associate of Edmond, son of Richard, Earl of Cornwall. The Earl, who was the younger brother of the then King Henry III, was, at this time, one of the richest men in Europe, due to revenue from his Cornish estate.

Dalin Cadoc was a wealthy Cornish hemp magnate and land owner, who was a childhood friend and business associate of Edmond, son of Richard, Earl of Cornwall. The Earl, who was the younger brother of the then King Henry III, was, at this time, one of the richest men in Europe, due to revenue from his Cornish estate.
