A family steeped in the tradition of pottery, they had heard about the special properties of the [[Tilmar]] clay, and went to see it for themselves. They settled in 943 near the Yaubu pit, the largest quarry on Tilmar, and proceeded to dig, shape and fire the clay into amazing works that earned them notoriety across the island.

Traders made it a stop along their route and pottery, tile and brick was carted back and forth from [[Huangjin]] and many local settlements in exchange for food and other staples.

As the Yaubu pit was already open it's clear that somewhere nearby there must have been a city, but there was no evidence of any settlements at the time Valianto began. However, Mana Hen'oz does remember the &quot;clay cart&quot;? coming from the quarry into Huangjin before the taun began so it's assumed someone was out there digging before the Valiantos put down kilns.
