[3] Tale of Konam

The Goliath and Frost Giant clans of the Giant peaks grew in population size. Years of isolation and non-fatal wars saw the mountain range have a boom in population. In order to create a better sense of communication within the mountain but still keep some semblance of Isolation, the giants of the mountain form the city of Icepass. A city that is the only way up into the mountain range where the clans reside but also acts as a way for all the clans to gather for trade.

A group of explorers sail out towards the sea and discover a large island. They name it the Pangolin Isle due to the large number of Giant Pangolins that roamed the isle. Hunters began to flock to the isle to hunt these creatures to sell their scales to blacksmiths for a high profit. Over time the increased traffic led to small settlements being founded and the first city on the Pangolin isle being founded, Pangola.

A Demani Clan that had dealt in heavy trading with the Sakura Empire prior to arriving to Konam continued to amass power within the Demani Empire. Eventually the clan led an expedition to the north and established a new city, becoming one of the four core Demani Clans.

Throughout Karina, there are sometimes abnormalities within the world. Someone is born with a special power or body part. An animal is born with supernatural intellect. A Tree grows to unusual size. These are rare events, but common enough that these abnormalities are known about. However, none had been known to occur on the scale of Ragna before. One day from the forest west of Frentarti arose a giant molten beast. Behind him a horde of smaller creatures. This year marked the rise of Ragna, The Molten Abnormality. For six months he and his legion destroyed town after town, making their way towards the City of Griffin. Many adventurers attempted to bring Ragna down but were met with little success. That is until the Crimson Stag Guild stopped the beast only hours away from the gates of Grffin. The guild at the time was small, Consisting of an elven Ranger, Kumani Barbarian, Human Wizard and Demani Fighter. The Adventurers assocation sent the guild in an attempt to buy time for the city to prepare defenses. What they did not expect was the Crimson Stags to return to the city, head of Ragna drawn on a cart. 

The son of Azel's Guardian Dragon was slain by the Demani Clan Thunderblades. They did so claiming his scales were perfect materials for their clan heads armor. This enraged many in Dragon Roost, who swiftly responded by destroying the lesser clans protected by the Thunderblade clan. This prompted the Thunderblade clan to launch a counter attack into Dragon Roost, which was considered apart of Sindri land. Dragonborn across the empire urged the emperor to declare war on the Demani people for vengeance and to help the dragons who had protected them for years. After much consideration the Emperor agreed and launched an attack on the invading forces. The Thunderblade clan received support from the other Demani clans and a war of attrition began. After eleven long years the Demani ultimately surrendered. The Sindri demanded the armor of Azel's Guardian Dragon's son be returned. However, the Demani claimed it was lost in battle many months prior. The Sindri Empire and Demani now have a shaky relationship and their border remains heavily fortified, prepared for another potential war.

The party arrives in the city of Griffin prepared to take their trial.
