History

Batun was founded in the year 498, and became the capital of the Dominion of Esseas in the mid 600's after an unsuccessful rebellion was squashed. The leaders of Esseas believed that having the capital in the northern part of the Domion was to much of a risk and moved from Taburh down to Batun.

Moving the capital was met with resistance, but, after a period of economic growth and prosperity, many in Esseas aggreed with the ruler that it was in the countries best interest.

Around the time of the Capital Transfer wealthy merchant Theodor Lancaster built an estate several miles southwest of the city. Master Lancaster was known to be an eccentric man with a interest in the occult and abberations. Many claim that Mr. Lancaster conducted dark rituals and experiments in the manor, the energy of which remains on the premise to this day. It is said that any who live in the manor since Mr. Lancasters death in 688 have met an untimely end, or gone mad themselves.
