New Haven

== Founding of New Haven ==
Prior to 286AD, Golbor was the biggest and richest city on the plains. After Agamorn opens the portal, daemonic energy pours out and spreads across the land. Everything within was mutated, corrupted or killed. This includeds the people, the animals, the trees and the very ground.
All the unaffected fled south, some tried to turn to the cities of Haver, Helonia and Wither Rock but found the gates shut. Fear of corruption had the realm terrified that what happened at Golbor could happen to them as the knowledge of the portal was not widespread.
Having heard of the news of the people fleeing south the merchants who controlled the southern island saw a great opportunity to construct a great city on their island but they needed a way to sort through the incoming refugees. They decided on constructing a great wall on the north-eastern area, this area is called Maladire, the Haven Shield. This effort was to take at least 30 years so they needed away to hold these people off until they were ready; so they sent a diplomatic mission to Dagger Post.
The merchants met with Warmaster Haegr Ashcaller in the summer of 287AD and proposes their deal: for the duration that it took to construct the Haven Shield, the Clan would provide 4 Legions to repel all attacks and to keep the refugees from entering the rest of the island as they were to be kept in either the Qindina (Masked City) or on Shaytanmi (Daemon Guard) and they were to train a guard force to leave behind. In return, the Clan would receive 10 of their greatest Shipwrights, 100 tonnes of Black Steel, yearly payments of 10,000 gold pieces and a permanent base on New Haven. The Warmaster agreed.
Winter of 288AD the I, III, VIII and the V Legions arrive at Daemon Guard to find a shanty town of countless tents and makeshift shacks with an improvised wooden wall around it. Order was immediately established with Clansmen patrolling the streets with orders to kill any who shows signs of corruption. This time was called the Bloody Winter as it's estimated that the Clan killed over 40% of all the refugees with their greatest test coming at the beginning of Spring when one of the mutated Hordes of Golbor reached the city. This was the first time Roga were seen in the south as they brought down the walls. The horde was mainly made up of mindless humans from Golbor and despite bringing down the walls were quickly dispatched by the Clansmen.
The wall was built again, with a mixture of stone and wood with a palisade around it and a trench dug.
It took the merchants 52 years to construct Haven Shield with many assaults repelled by the Clansmen but they were successful, they created the greatest city in the Daemon Plains and possibly the realm.
