Aevalon

After being enslaved and nearly destroyed by orcs, the humans of the Never-Reaches set off on a pilgrimage following their liberation to find a land to call their own again. Led by High Priest Yahn, a respected leader of the desperate people, they migrated North and cultivated the green and plentiful land of Sanova. With many continuing to travel throughout Sanova in search of the perfect place to abide, High Priest Yahn and his followers discovered a beautiful, fertile plain surrounded by hills and flowing rivers. They named the place Aevalon, after the revered goddess of freedom. Since then, Aevalon has prospered in peace and stability under the watchful eye of The Church of Sanova, a ruling theocracy created from The Church of The Three Mothers but with a few different (and some would say outright apostate) differences.
