Missing Lands has no more details, but I'd think that the earliest colonisation would be part of the Silver Empire, which broke apart after the unsuccessful invasion attempt on Brithos. (There seem to have been Seshnegi colonists on the Vadeli Isles, too.)

I'd say that was the case - colony in the Greek city-state sense.
