Founding
The number of refugees fleeing persecution increased into the multiple thousands, necessitating the creation of permanent structures, and the infrastructure of a city; to this effect the first leader of Aarelan Prime Magistra Weldan Eboncrest founds the City-State of Aarelan. Prior to this event the settlement had been viewed a temporary, as a refuge to wait out the storm of anti-magic sentiment and persecution, but it was then clear that the violence against mages was not going to be a transitory event.
