Built in 712, rebuilt in 1051, rebuilt in 1222, and again (most recently) in 1411, [[Creedo]] has a history of reinventing itself. One of the few places where farming isn't a full-time occupation for many of the inhabitants, the town is the largest port in Bilkan now that [[Yarali]] has slid to near obscurity. | |||
Creedo began life when a ship of halflings crashed into the beach along the [[Bay of Peace]]. Where they were bound has been lost to history, but the path now knows as the Brazier Way existed even then as a water-carved natural road sloping to the beach. The surviving members of the shipwreck walked to the top of that hill and found a rippled terrace wide enough for a city. Rock mounds poked from the dirt and trees, forming a curving, flowing landscape that appealed to the two hundred and six [[halfling]] men and women left to gaze upon it. With no hope of repairing the shattered remains of the ship and a third of the crew dead they decided to make the best of it and construction of shelters began under the watchful eye of John Creedo, a halfing priest of [[Prunilla]]. The citizens of this new homestead found enough soil on the land past the beaches to grow crops, and John personally blessed each planting until his [[death]]. The homestead became a town, called simply Creedo, and eventually a city. | Creedo began life when a ship of halflings crashed into the beach along the [[Bay of Peace]].
