It was the first men, the Cromagni who crossed from The Wastes onto Illf Meras across the pike where the continents used to connect until it was later destroyed mysteriously. Beyond the Pike, they met the Uluf-men. People with eyes like diamonds and skin like the bark and leaves of the tree. They were recorded to be nearly a whole foot taller and they had antler's that were even longer. They were nearly meatless, with bone poking out under the skin, yet just as strong as man.
After the crossing, the men travelled to the great riverlands beyond that would be known as Aulor and the first cities of their own would be founded.
