Western settlers

Years before Ares

In the late years of Ago, the surface of the planet had become uninhabitable; heavy pollution from the endless war, high geological catastrofies, multitudes of horrifying warbreed monsters and lack of resources, made most humanoids seek underneath the ground. One of such cities where known as Occidentis, a city of humanoid refugees located in the southern region of Ago underneath the frozen peaks. Occidentis consisted mostly of Dwarfs, Humans and Gnomes. The city where located in an large air pocket underground, from here ancient roots and plantlife grew, which provided craft materials along with the mining minerals gathered by the dwarfs. The city of Occidentis consisted of around 11,000 people, where; 55% Dwarf, 34% Human, 9% Gnomes and 2% others.

The extrication

In the extrication event, this city was transported into an artificially created airpocket in the heart of the Tharsis rise on planet Ares. From one second to another, with no clear indication, the people in occidentis arrived along with their homes and belongings. The people suddently found themselves in new unrecognizable surroundings, new cavern walls, plantlife, atmosphere and tunnelsystem. 250 people from the city did not manage to join the venture, as they where on scounting/guard duty when the city was transported. The people had to create a new infrastructure and way of life to sustain their people. Over 2 generation the people of Occidentis found a way to survive and slowly explore their newfound surroundings. As the newer generation rose they wanted a new future for their people so they wanted to guide the people out of their settlement. This created a split in their people, some wanted to stay in their city and keep to what they know, most of the city militia wanted to delve deeper into the caves west, and a good portion wanted to explore the lighter caves to the east.

The cave settlers

A good portion on the elder generation stayed in their city of Occidentis. They lived as they had always known on Ago, growing musky shrooms in the underdark. Over generations these people would spread through the endless caverens under the surface in the underdark. These people are what would eventually be known to as the druegar.

The western delvers

These settlers where lead by the crude General Therren Kraghammer, his family had been leading the militia, since his grandfather defeated the great drake serpent in the years of Ago. They delved deeper into the mountains, eventually leading them to the raven peaks. Under the raven peaks they discovered multitudes of rare gems, leading them to eventually found the city of Kragforge under olympus Mons, and from there eventually found the Krag dynasty.
Most of the Non-dwarf ethnicities did not agree with dwarfs ruling decisions, and tried to revolt against their rule. The circumstances ended with all non-dwarf humanoids being banished from their city. This then began the northern venture for the non-dwarven people, they used the caveren system to find a way out of the raven peaks onto the frozen fields of the north. The venture began a low slow migration through the frozen fields along the White depth. These settlers founded several cities headed by noble houses around the north. (Over time giving way to giant-kin such as Goliath and Firbolg)

The eastern explorers

These settles hoped that the lit caverens to the east wound lead them to the surface of the new planet. As they came closer to the top of the caverens, the dwarfs in their midst discovered an arrangement of gems imbedded within the walls and took great interest. Their people then decided to settle a city just outside the caves under the shade of the Ascraeus Mons.
After a generation, most human and gnome folk decided to continue their peoples migration out into the enticing desert. The people ventured south following the Ascraeus river encountering new frontiers with before unknown beast. Through their days of migration the people found ways to tame creatures, such as the Magna Lacerta(desert dinosaur), which became very useful when riding through the desert.
In the year 101 PA, the peoples migration came to an impasse as the river lead to the Mons shelf, a monsterus clifside where the water had cuttrough the rock with violent steep rivers. Here the people founded the city Prohibere, and the people began working on finding a viable way down the Mons shelf. In 120 The people had made magnificent ships designed to endure the jurney down the violent stream.
In the fall of 121 Pa, thousands of people boarded the ships and tried to sail down the river. Thousand people died in the event, that has come to be known as the Acute fall. Most survived and continued sailing along the edge of the melas maar, they haboured at the coast by growing fields in the shaded savanna. The people settled on this coast and selected a ruler to found the city of Habemus Regem, the people quickly went to wok creating the new great city of the humanoids. This lead to the creation of the Harenae kingdom, the Calendar of Oxitos and the idea of a new world rule of the people.
Over the next 55 years an unflux of native beast folk began moving into the city, Loxodons and Minotaurs, this meant that the city needed to develop sound imigration policies. The loose mimigration restrictions resulted in large groups of people in poverty creating slums in the outer city. Large amounts of humans became disgusted with the rising number and power of the beastfolk, they used their influence and riches to build grand ships, that could carry their belongings with them as they would move their settlement further east to the greener fields on the other side of the Melas highland.
In the spring of 198 Pa, the humans then founded Portus Maar, eventually known as Port du Maar. This city would expand to the Bell bay and be known for construction the best navy in the region. The city started out as a colony of the Harenae kingdom, but as their power grew they ruled to become a city-state independend from the Harenae kingdom. This was not to the liking of the Harenae, this spiked a conflict that would last for the next 3 years, where the humans in Portus Maar would fight for their independance in the Melas Maar. The conflict resulted in emens casulties on both sides especially after the battle of insula around the island of blood. After the conflict in 222 Pa, the humans got their independance and began expanding their rule.
