The Snow-Rocks Sail for Drulluvatn

Expedition

The voyage of the Snow Rocks to Drulluvatn Mot D'nir) which led to them establishing the first colony of Trinen (modern-day Shellbay).

With as many resources as they could muster and new ships from the resilient Jurejun wood, Kanel Logratte took the Saltkrigere to start a new colony. He said that only the strongest, most resourceful, and loyal men should get to see this new world. Their voyage was long but mostly without tribulation. They brought several icons of every god and their most devoted priests. After four weeks, three more ships worth of women, children, and servants were to be sent so that the conditions they were accustomed to would be completed by the Saltkrigere before arrival.   Kanel Logratte kept a journal recording a few of the phenomena he observed while sailing. Octopi the size of rafts, little squids that puttered about like pet fish, sea serpents that knew the waters and skies, and blubbery fish with the legs of frogs only scratched the surfaces of his observations.   Maneuvering around was difficult to achieve when avoiding the rocky islands off of the mainland's coast. When the four ships were safe from the surrounding jagged coasts, they anchored offshore, and the men took to exploring the land. Kanel Logratte was shocked at the sand's color being a tan brown, rather than the standard white but mentioned how it was easier on his men's eyes. He also documented that coral grew rapidly and vastly in these lands. The coral even grew through the sand and onto the land, spouting water from its arms, which the men noted had been filtered of salt. This phenomenon of terrestrial coral is still used today as a source of clean water in villages throughout Shellbay.
