North Burn Colonization Rush

In the thirteenth century, at first gradually and then more rapidly, proper colonization efforts were undertaken to conquer the frigid lands of the North Burn. Many settlements and even some roads were constructed, only a handful of these colonies survived and even fewer thrived with many settlements lost to snow or the monsters lurking in the forests.
By ~1240 AtS, the less hostile eastern region of Hordragner was fully, if sparsely colonized.
By ~1300 AtS, the colonization rush has largely died down, leaving the western Deep North Burn still largely wild, only few small settlement dotting the endless taigas and tundra.
