Overview

That was founded on July 4th, 2021 by Jonathan Lozharo, the city began as a humble hamlet that remained in a modest size for much of its early years serving as a humble outpost for the inhabitants within, the City has seen many unexpecting travelers and visitors, with many of the interactions, with Jonathan personally gifting food to these travellers and bidding them safe travels.

Escharia

 * From research into Old records the Farrenorers, discovered that the Escharian Empire had at one point claimed the land, sea and islands surrounding Farrenore, Although very little was done with the islands.

Kostuco

 * This continued when they came under Kostuco rule who were more pre-occupied with solidifying their control internally in their city centre's than some distant island on the fringes of their borders. It is heavily speculated by the Farrenorers. That it was during their rule that the island was raided of much of its natural resources with him comparing maps dating it to their rule that the Island suddenly changed appearance.

Founding

After that encounter he would arrive on the continent on Sparwood, where he met up with his old friend Draggo for a day who gave him food. Before bidding farewell to one another with Jonathan departing to continue on in his journey, he would eventually arrive on a deserted Island. Robbed of its natural resources and laid abandoned, although not a ideal place to start a home, he saw the potential for the island, and would begin settling on it.

Jonathan and Xarahh would leave the Cabin to speak to him face to face, he would then ask them to follow him to the nether to show them his ruined nether portal he then rather aggressively accused the Farrenorers of destroying his portal, pointing the finger directly to Xarahh who has not been online for a entire week up to that point, as well as many other Farrenorers who have not been on the Island on the date specified of the destruction of the Portal which although greatly irritating the two.
