Recently, we found a solution to our dilemma. While sailing back from the Sentinels' outpost in the High Forest, we discovered a new island* The crew landed and investigated, finding a peaceful land with fertile fields, bountiful forests, plentiful game, and more importantly no hostile inhabitants. Reporting back to the Ironheart Accord, they informed us that it is a perfect place to settle. After some discussions, we decided to move our civilian population there.
Currently, we are under way building our first settlement. We have called it Freehaven, because it is a haven of freedom for our people. Buildings are going up, crops are being planted, and life is returning to normal, without the fear of Faedwyr raids.
We have even had contact with neighboring islands, and there is talk of uniting to form a mutual defense front.
We have not given up our quest to free Ember Shoals from the Faedwyr. We still send out combatants on raids and monster hunts in the Shoals and will continue to do so until our enemies are defeated, But at least we now have a safe haven for our civilians.
* The geography seems to change randomly in the lands around Caligo. New islands crop up from time to time, and Freehaven seems to the one of these that just appeared out of nowhere. We have discovered that Freehaven and Ember Shoals are just a couple of islands in a large archipelago.
OOC Notes
- Given the open-ended nature of the Caligo setting, I have been toying for some time with creating my own island for RP purposes. I just came up with the story to explain it, and will be developing it in future installments. Don't worry; Rufus will still be involved with Ember Shoals!
- I have some additional news but plan to save it for a later post.
