==History==
===Early life===
Torinaan was born an Aldmer on the continent of Aldmeris. When he grew older, he commandeered a fleet of ships towards lands which remained unknown.
===Discovery and settlement of Alinor===
Torinaan's ships arrived on a small cove located on the very northern tip of Auridon, the second largest isle of the present-day province of Summerset Isles/Alinor. He named it "Nine-Prow Landing" for the prows of his nine ships that made landfall within it.Description of Painting of the First Altmeri Landfall
Torinaan then claimed the land, from its beaches to hills, as property of the Aldmer. He then named it "Auridon," unsheathed blade and drew some of his blood, and swore an oath to never depart. With his sailors, began to settle the newly found land. They built houses, gardens, and forges, and founded the city of Firsthold on the island's northern tip. Torinaan was said to have kept a journal to document his discoveries, including the finding of the mysterious runestones spread upon the land.
Settling the new land did not come without its risks and dangers, as creatures such as Welwa, Gheatus, and Ilyadi sought to destroy the Aldmer. Feeling threatened and unsafe, the settlers suggested finding another safer land to settle upon. Torinaan, however, stood bold and fearless, and used the Varla Stones to draw upon the power of the stars. With this power, Torinaan smote the creatures with the elements of fire, ice, and lightning. He then cast wards to protect the island from further attacks.
Auridon bloomed under Torinaan's guidance, and many kinholds and settlements rose up in Summerset. Torinaan's achievements were looked up well upon by his kin.
