Rediscovery of Madumanar

Discovery, Exploration

Imperial charters are granted to survey and explore the West Rim of Hyperborea, north of Tol Annun. Famous for centuries as an impassable, monster-infested wilderness, the region's abundant natural resources make it worth the risk to a maturing Empire. Dozens of expeditions depart yearly; many of these don't come back.

In 879, the archaeomantic expedition led by Professor Julia Moreno of the Imperial University at Maunder made anchor in the bay where the mouth of the Wisidivescor River meets the Dyscrasic Ocean. Intending to make an archaeomantic survey of goblin ruins in the area, base camp was established within the mostly-intact tower atop Beacon Hill. When circumstances necessitated a change of plan, the expedition's resulting re-activation of the Tallwater Beacon proved key to the success of subsequent settlement efforts in the area.
