I have some questions about the history of the Illiac Bay. Who lived in there before the three major kingdoms Daggerfall, Wayrest, Sentinel were formed and what kind of society lived there? Primitive savages or an organized civilization?

Also i recall in a very old magazine with a Daggerfall preview they show the land called Ephesus in the Dragontail Mountains marked in red in a small picture of Illiac Bay map. Later Bethesda deleted that patch when they released the game but perhaps they were thinking about a Dwarven society that lived in a volcano called Ephesus in the Dragontail Mountains before deciding to cut content and release the game. What do you think?
