Escoria

The Escoria are an ethnic group indigenous to Central America. Descended from the first humans who crossed the Bering Straits between twelve and fourteen thousand years ago, they settled in Central America, in the area now known as San Doloroso. In tandem with neighbouring communities, they quickly developed agriculture and eventually a civilisation which flourished for several hundred years. The name 'Escoria' was originally applied by the Spanish conquistadors as a term of abuse, but as it proved a much simpler term than the native 'shibburlatot' it soon entered popular parlance.
