Corran

Corran was a town in the Fen Boroughs, founded during the initial settlement of the continent by the crew of the Thistle.
The settlers were Scotsmen under the command of Cailean Mor, who had placed their trust and friendship in the People who lived close by. They quickly established grains in the fields surrounding the town, and trapped game in the hills to the southeast.
The town was steady throughout much of its early existence. It kept in close contact with the towns of Camusrory and Losgaintir, to the south and east respectively. It was largely unaffected by the encroachment of the Reman Republic during the 1st Century BCE, being far enough inside the Fen Boroughs to escape the same annexation that Camusrory suffered.
However, it was this escape from annexation that sealed Corran's fate. The Fen Boroughs sought revenge on humanity for their loss of the lands around Camusrory, as well as their western coast. At some point during the late 1st Century BCE, the People of the Fen Boroughs fell upon Corran as well as Losgaintir and Lonbain, in what became known as the Rape of the Scots. Corran was destroyed, and its population massacred.
The only known survivors of the Rape in Corran were Deaclainn ei Aimbyll and his teenaged son Eirich, members of the ruling clan Aimbyll of Corran who arrived ragged in Camusrory in 18BCE, telling tales of the savage Fen People and spreading fear among the populace. They were arrested and punished severely by the local governor for disturbing the peace by telling tall tales.
