Racatrazi: Difference between revisions

The port city of Varghavn was initially established by Riksheim (a predecessor of Norgsveldet) in the 1380s as part of a small plantation colony known by the same name as the city. The indigenous population consisted of Ngodian-speaking tieflings, primarily adherents of Duarism, who inhabited settlements across the entire island that they called Aidalan, including a handful of small fishing villages on the southernmost peninsula for which an indigenous name is not recorded. The Norgsveltian settlers initially had good relations with these natives, but gradually the natives either took or were forced into positions as plantation laborers in the Norgsveltian colony, often for low wages—if not as outright slaves. Beginning in 1700, Tavaris began to settle [[Elatana]], to the east in [[Arcturia]], and later the region of Ilarís in what is now the [[Union of Free Cities|UFC]]. The journey to and from Tavaris was long, and the Tavari regularly worried about ensuring there would always be friendly ports of call along the route to resupply. Additionally, the military threat posed by the Balistrians who claimed Elatana caused the Tavari government to desire as much opportunity to maintain military personnel and equipment in the region of Elatana as possible.
