Westlands Settlement and Expansion

The survivors of the Great Horror that fled westward eventually arrived first on the island of what is known as modern day Iperi. The settlers found it somewhat lacking in resources. The remaining Earthwielders constructed shelters out of rock. After several settlements were established, more people traveled further westward to search for a more sustainable home, until they landed on the island of Emory, and, several weeks after, the Mainland. However, after about two months and a half from establishing the first settlement on the Mainland, a native dragon that lived in a mountain nearby, named Yalheim took notice of them. He was wary about the fact that not just his land, but the entire dragon homelands were being raided by foreign humans. He knew well enough that they would spread like wildfire, throughout the Westlands. So he decided to attack the first major settlement on the Mainland, later named Tannersburg (After Tanner Reid, who led the town during this). Yalheim nearly destroyed the entire settlement, starting the Dragon War. Several survivors, including Reid, managed to escape and sail to the earlier established settlements. They told them of the dragon, and workers there started construction of ballistas and other weapons to use against Yalheim.
