Each shire kept to itself in the past, functioning autonomously but maintaining trade routes to ensure access to raw materials not present in their lands. This arrangement allowed sharp contrasts to develop in the panorama of the settlements. [[North Hampton]] was a robust region that provided public works for its happy population, and Cel, on the island's southern shore, was characterized by clusters of hovels, shanties, and huts where sewage flowed freely on the streets as rats scurried by without a thought for the miserable pedestrians. This gap between the shires was propagated, and it was seen as acceptable for a Celian to never aspire to be more than a farmer, herder, or fisherman. | Each shire kept to itself in the past, functioning autonomously but maintaining trade routes to ensure access to raw materials not present in their lands.

The mountain elves kept away from the new inhabitants until recently, and now, since the cleansing of [[Mith'oromarde]]'s taint by mostly non-elven adventurers and the formation of a new kingdom, some effort has gone into establishing a good relationship with the other [[races]]. | ||
In 1405, three years after the clouds came, Miranda [[Mirikel]], a young woman of elven descent, decided she had seen enough poverty in the south and enough waste in the north and dreamed of a united land under a common leadership. She timidly shared this idea with her elven friends, and for some reason, they decided to support her despite her inexperience in the art of politics.
