This is the story of…
…a brave group of Ascendants settlers. Venturing south, deep into the lands of nomadic goblin clans, they found a beautiful and mysterious place that captured their hearts.
Having nowhere else to go (and also because their only cart broke a wheel. Okay, two wheels) they decided to settle around these parts.
Here, between two lakes, they have found ruins of an old forest fort. Its crumbling walls, which architecture betrayed their supposedly Ascendance origin, gave them shelter for the night. Seeing this as a sign of good fortune, they unpacked their supplies, sharpened their axes and got to work.

And believe me, Ascendants do know hard work! In mere days they had a small farm and a granary to store their new food.
While the farmhouse could not fit more than one hearthling at a time, they decided it was only fair to give it to the one who feeds them. Farmer Sanin!
The hills nearby were rife with game, proving promising not only for their trappers. Their shepherd, Roake Winset, managed to find some wild sheep and persuade them to stay (promising them grasslands untold no less). Of course once he got them rounded, he decided it is about time to set up a small barbershop…
Having remembered an old tale about these lands, of one Jack L, they proclaimed their newfound home the Town of South Trulala!
Little did they know of the fate of the previous settlers who tried to live here…
