What is the history of Paradis?

[Grimo88]

One of the reasons I am so disappointed with this game is a lack of the sense of history. Neketaka and the Deadfire oozed with history. But Paradis? I can't find any lore about who founded it. I know the Pargrunen built parts of it, but who the are statues of? Why and when was it founded? Am I missing something?

One of the founders was named Vanessa iirc.

This didn't land for someone outside the Francosphere, had to google

Haha yeah - well she was known outside of France, too: for being in a relationship with Johnny Depp for about 15 years I believe, end of the 90s until 2010ish or so. But maybe that's too long ago for the younger forum members.
Some of her songs were hits in Germany (and the UK), too.

In the temple of Eothas, I found a book that only says the existence of The Living Lands is a mystery and that it seems to be missing a true name.  As a player, I took this as meaning that we might discover more about its true nature and history later in the game. 

But maybe Grimo88 is far in the game or finished it and still has no satisfactory answer about its history.
