History
The hamlet of Shepsbourne was founded almost 400 years after the founding of Abercraeg, following the Second Coalition against the Wilds and the partial success that followed, opening up the land to allow for a new settlement. When selecting the location for this settlement, the hilly land of the eastern portion of the isle was unsuitable for farming, but was perfect for the ranching niche that was unfulfilled on the island.
