Aontas

In the year 418 AS, a bold group of adventurers, fleeing from the forces of The Empire of Mori, forged alliances with the tribes of Lorrukh and the enigmatic Thri-Kreen residing within the volcano on Lor. Through a combination of cunning, strategic brilliance, and a daring assault on a flying fortress, they successfully repelled an Imperial invasion force. This marked the beginning of their hard-won independence.

The town council of Brightwater under the newly elected mayor Lavender Fisher declares the founding of Aontas, a country for all and at its core the idea of equality for all the species of the world. All the homesteads and the newly constructed village of Mishnakh, home to the tribes moving north from Lorrukh.
