I´m a bit late to respond to this mail, but I thought of Great Britain and
the Bretagne in France rather than colony.

Mieres did not become a colony like e.g. British India in that it was newly
explored land and then conquered. Mieres was already known to the Andu, as
they had to march through it when they fled Aduria and Azrai over the
landbridge. As the Book of Priestcraft says the first church to Haelyn was
founded overlooking Aerele, I assume as near to Deismaar as possible, so the
landbridge could have connected Aerele and Lathier provinces where
peninsulas still point south and north.

Making the former inhabitants withdraw to the frontiers is more like the
anglo-saxons replacing the celtic welsh and gaelic scotish, than William the
Conquerors Normans mixing with the Anglo-Saxons later, but I still find the
Great Britain-Bretagne more fitting than the thought of a colony.
