The settlement began originally as housing for the servants working at the Ravendean Estate. Over time the rich soil, abundant lumber supply, and a prime river crossing point, brought merchants through and outsiders began to settle. Trade and agriculture grew and the population swelled. | |||
The town continued to thrive into the [[CR|CR era]], where it embraced its reputation and marketed itself as the City of Light in the Dark, with grand lighting displays decorating much of the town. A sizable portion of the town was destroyed in 2368 by a great fire caused by clashing supernatural forces.
