Eastern History

This page is to describe history that occurred in the Silver Lands, the region east of what is on the main map.

Best map as of 2011-10-23. Relevant part is everything to the south-east of Lin-Elens.

Prehistory

• Elves inhabit Lin-Elens.
• Minotaurs live on the plains around the minotaur lake.
• Dwarves live in the mountains around Firecloud Peak. They are prohibited by treaty with the elves from claiming the hills south of the great river.
• The Eltireans live in floating isles hidden above the eastern side of the Flamebreath Desert.

To be added to the above timeline: colonisation of triththa, arrival of drakes. It also needs to be expanded into the future.
