Discovery of the New World
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
In 285 AVD a young and ambitious wizard of the Archon, Castor Onerio, gathered a hand-picked company of scientists, explorers, sailors, historians and wizards to sail west. Drawing on sources from the First and Second Ages, he believed that a vast continent lay in that direction.1
Opposition and support
The expedition began under protest from the High Church. Its doctrine held that the Eye of Aquaron, a barrier and a massive vortex, marked the known edge of the Great Western Sea, and that breaking through this barrier, which the gods had surely placed there to protect humanity, would bring devastating consequences.1
Castor had made influential acquaintances over a successful career. Through the influence of the noble families he served, he approached Emperor Falkred I and explained his plans. The knowledge and resources that might be found in the west caught the emperor's interest, and he granted permission and support. This silenced the opposition; the only concession, made at the High Church's request, was a paladin on board.1
The voyage
The ship Imperius set sail in 285 AVD and came back four years later, in 289 AVD, having discovered the continent of Canarque. Most of the Empire calls it the New World.1
Aftermath
A port city, Aquila, was founded on the new continent, and colonists flocked to the Canarque route. Relations with the native Inran and Geroni peoples went on being established.1
