Far from the petty fighting and war on the mainland of Asulon, there is an island of Savage beauty. A town has been founded here…

D'Hara was a settlement in Asulon that promoted social and economic development over territorial expansion and religions control. The peaceful message of the settlement attracted some settlers to live and work there but the great distance from other cities meant that it was never as highly populated as those in racial nations.

History

The idea for D'Hara goes back to the time of Aegis. One very young adventure named Codrik, naive and ignorance in one hand and the fearless lust for adventure in the other, set forth from his home in Al'Khazar with every intention of having the greatest adventure of all time.

Codrik joined a group called the Shad'Rin and later became the leader of this group. The Shad'Rin were a merchant/mercenary clan buying and selling goods and protection service to the highest bidder. After Codrik rose through the ranks to become leader, he used he vast knowledge of mercantile he had learned from his father to make the Shad'Rin very rich and powerful.

In the final days of Aegis, the war with the Undead had hit its peak in both chaos and brutality. Codrik and his fearless brethren the Shad'Rin, fought with honor and valor holding back the Undead horde letting the last of the citizens of Aegis escape onto the great ships and sail across the endless sea where they hoped to find a new land. Codriks last words were orders to his brother Caspian. He told Caspian to take their people and establish a camp far from where the rest of the ships would land. Codrik didn't make it on the ships that sailed across the Endless Sea and was pronounced MIA but everyone feared he was dead. Caspian would never give up on his brother and did what his brother ordered. He hired on strong workers, craftsmen and Farmers to form the D'Hara Company with the intention of settling a town far from the petty bickering, warring and fighting Caspian's brother Codrik foretold would follow the colonization of the new land now known as Asulon by different factions and races.

Then one day after many years of being missing and presumed dead, Codrik returned. He had managed to sail across the Endless Sea in a small boat and made it to the Island of Empyreal and to small town of D'Hara that Caspian and the rest of the D'Haran Company had established. Caspian stepped down as of the D'Haran Company and Codrik was named the new Head of the company.
