The Anareskan Landings

Population Migration / Travel

Humans return to the continent of Timberfell.

The dwarves and elves are long-lived people, and while they struggled to rebuild their civilisations, there were those amongst them who still remembered the world that was before. The humans were not so fortunate. Their histories, written by warmongers in fading ink on waterlogged parchment and vellum, did not survive the years. Yet humanity endured. Several centuries after the Brightforge dwarves began this period of renewal, a clan of humans braved the tempestuous Silver Sea and sailed to what is now Eastern Timberfell from distant Anareska.

These people had the sea in their blood and sailed from island to island for generations, claiming whatever they found, and something called them to Timberfell. The ruins of their first settlement still stands today: the port city of Daurestel. From Daurestel the seafarers expanded outward, until all the eastern shores fell under their banner. In the North, they found fertile fields unsalted by the nearby sea on the banks of an enormous landlocked lake, and they found a ruined - yet still occupied - ancient city. They did not know this city would become the heart of a great empire. They did not know the glory and sorrow that would surround the city of Aureum.
