Dwarves colonize the Northern Crest
FoundingThe earliest evidence of mountain colonization by the dwarves date back to this year. While it is not known exactly where the dwarves came from, they started colonizing the western side of the Northern Crest and, thanks to their innate affinity with working stone and metals, they quickly created the first settlements between the valleys and within the mountains themselves. To the later part of this year date the first buildings of Whitefist.

Humans-Druid war
Military actionThe colonization of the Enverdoon region by those members of the human tribes least interested in warring left the horde in the hands of people thirsting for conquest and glory, two concepts they had learnt from the dwarves and towards which they were naturally inclined. Drifting away from the mountains the climate of which they were not suited for, the human tribes invaded the regions claimed by the Circle of Druids and started a conflict with them.
The experience of the druidic tribe helped them hold the wave of humans for a while, but the sheer number of people the invaders could field and their superior military technology eventually overrun the defenders.
