Founding of Leros

Founding

For years, Novaris continued his search for new lands to control, to rule, to own, and found them, at last. Decades of searching, he finally dispatched his soldiers, tens of thousands in rank, to a land before the Foglands - Leros.   This hostile place was barren of life, no societies, nor fauna, yet grew from its harsh soils rare and bountiful magical herbs.

The Emperor, impressed at the mages’ entrepreneurialism awarded them with gold to trade with the rest of the colonies, exporting vast quantities of magical components and importing the necessary materials to build upon the land.   But something lurked in the shadows of night, searching for life, hunger unfounded...

For years, Novaris continued his search for new lands to control, to rule, to own, and found them, at last. Decades of searching, he finally dispatched his soldiers, tens of thousands in rank, to a land before the Foglands - Leros.   This hostile place was barren of life, no societies, nor fauna, yet grew from its harsh soils rare and bountiful magical herbs. Soon, without delay, the magi that followed with the troops established their hold on the land, creating its first society - The Dominion of Leros. The Emperor, impressed at the mages’ entrepreneurialism awarded them with gold to trade with the rest of the colonies, exporting vast quantities of magical components and importing the necessary materials to build upon the land.   However, lurking beneath the dark, ashen, soil of Leros lay caverns of old that held many cursed beasts that hungered for life. Soon, they emerged, foundations of structures dug in the wrong places and began their terrorising hunts. Years have gone by, and yet, no matter how many beasts die, they re-emerge hungrier than the last. This night brings people to barricade their homes, sharpen silvered blades, and imbibe in powerful potions to cause disgust to the creatures that may try to feast on their flesh. Now, a society of monster hunters, known to the locals as simply The Hunt, has established itself - aiming to cull the beasts that plague Lerion.
