Mythology[]
Golden Age[]
- Larnste raised Mount Kerofin here.
- The land was invaded by the Blue Dragon River flowing in from the south.
- After a conflict with an unknown god (Orlanth is named anachronistically), the river flowed northwards to become the Oslira
- As a result of that conflict, the Blue Dragon lay eggs in the land giving rise to Dragonewts
