History

Turthann Discovery of Kaliteth

On the 8th of Hiadhul, 711, during an exploration voyage to find the rumored Kingdom of Eliron of Thaledon to the far north, a Turthannian merchant ship unexpectedly discovered a new land. Excited by this discovery, the captain cancelled his planned voyage and instead spent the next four months charting and navigating around the continent, as wells as make several short forays ashore. Upon their return, they told the king of this new land, presented the charts and told their tales of what they had seen on the shores. The king proclaimed the name of this new land to be “Kaliteth”, then commissioned additional exploration missions to discover more about this land and to establish the initial outposts needed to lay claim.

Founding of the Exploration Outpost

On the 21st of Naffiodhiol, 711, a company of soldiers, explorers and scholars arrived at the southeastern most point of Kaliteth, the closest distance to Turthann, where they established an encampment to serve as their base of operations for the planned surveys of Kaliteth. What they soon discovered was that Kaliteth was a wild land, uninhabited by mankind, but rich in resources and wildlife. They further discovered that land was teaming with mythical creature and monsters, few of which had ever been encountered anywhere else known to mankind. Many explorers never returned from surveys deep into the interior.
