A Brief History of Stormvale

Chapter 1: The Dark Era, pg. 1
"In the beginning, the Ancestrals came. From what we have been able to decipher from their primitive language, they accidentally discovered Egress, and more specifically, Cape Ouroboros, where they would eventually build the city of Stormvale, while on the run from some oppressive group. The word they use for these people is 'peiniger', and the closest Common tongue analogue would be 'tormentor'. Thus, we can deduce that the founders of Stormvale were likely slaves of these 'peinigers' that managed to escape from a far-off continent by boat, brave the Endless Storm, and somehow make it to these shores, as unlikely a tale as it may be."
