Old Haven

The Lord of Meos was tasked to find a way to colonise the North of Theorse by any means necessary. The land was a difficult one to put a settlement, as the dangers of the swamps, the creatures roaming the bogs and the infertility of the ground made many attemps worthless.
Jimmy White then made sure to enlist the aid of the military and the mercenaries to make a safe passage toward the Greenbug River, a place where researchers found fertile grounds near a mountain covered with trees. The settlement began construction near the river, and with the insight of John Gallaway, an ancient military officer, and the ressources of the White Manor, the path to the North was created in New Haven.
The promises of the Lord to find new opportunities in the North made the spot an ideal place to colonize, and the expansion was quick. Road were built to travel toward the city, and investors follow the river upwars to prepare another settlements. Their quickly found that the territory was infested by a race of voracious fish humanoïds, and the reports were sent to White. The help of the Sentinels were needed to ensure the security of New Haven.
By the time the military arrived, the village was attacked by the tribes around, killing the mayor in charged and hurting most of the inhabibants, including John Gallaway. The military pushed back the enemy toward the Floods, but New Haven was destroyed and suffered major setbacks to its advencement. The Lord of Meos ordered to advence the military north to settle a fort, defending the territory and setting economical investments in the war against the tribes, but not into the reconstruction of New haven.
The history of the settlements continues with the passing of time, and Jimmy White keeps investing in advencing toward the North and in new settlements to find ressources to exploit. At this time, the people of New Haven are stuck with their poverty and duty to welcome the travelers toward the North, and the village became the oldest and broken Old Haven.
