History of Obseron

In an effort to expand southward, the Aurean Empire encouraged settlers to move into the Bularian Plain and farm the land, and buildtowns and cities the empire could more easily control. However, by the time the end of dragon rule and the following civil war brought an end to new settlement, only a small area had been settled. This area would become the province of Eutoria Inferior.

An earthquake caused a shift in the sandbar at the mouth of the Aegion River , leaving a small route on the western end of the estuary the only navigable route between the Aegion and the sea. A settlement that came to be known as Port Aegion  began to grow here, eventually becoming the largest city in the Kingdom of Thelegon .

A large section of the coast around the city of Lycanthum was struck by a massive tidal wave that was powerful enough to tear the land itself apart, creating The Teeth. The tidal wave is believed to have supernatural origins. Though most of Lycanthum, a former magocracy, was high enough to avoid the wave itself, the damage caused a magical chain reaction that among other things caused a huge fire that gutted most of the city and opened portals that brought through strange creatures. Magic is largely distrusted in the region to this day.

In an attempt to retake the Thelegon, an Aurean army marched down the The Old Road and besieged the city. Due to harsh desert conditions, long and treacherous supply lines, and the cities impressive defenses, the siege was ultimately called off after a short time.
