Before the Kingdom of Southbay was at war with the Wesfolk, Addroran's older son and crown prince made a dangerous voyage eastward,[1] with the Wesfolk Lady Jessene as his navigator and companion.[2] He also was provided pearls and an escort by a group of mermen led by Lord Typhon in return for metalwork.[3] To compensate for the southern ocean currents, he sailed aggressively to the northeast.[1]
Along the way, he came across a volcanic island inhabited by a number of hostile drakes. Despite their aggression, he was able pacify the drakes enough to establish a foothold on the island,[4] allowing him to re-provision his ships.[3] He eventually reached the Great Continent, making contact with the elves and becoming known to the Ka'lian.[5][6]
