In the following years, ship captains would begin to drop off crew members that lost their nerve at sea. The settlement would soon become a home to the desperate and eventually was overrun. Some time around 603 BEM, the Archmages of the Isle of Stone pleaded to the King of the Seas to reestablish order on the island. The King tasked the Lord of Havas to answer the Archmages call. The lord sent several dozen ships to reestablish order and rebuild the once useful resupply station. Leading the fleet was a Goran who would eventually be known as Lutz the Beheader.
