Harald Anderson - The man who discovered the South

Harald Anderson was a local fisherman from Rittnor. Not much is known about Mr. Anderson, but we know that he was the son of a well known local fisherman named Paul Anderson, we do not know anything about his mother, but it indicates that Harold's mother died when he was very young. Harold grew up with his father in life as a fisherman. It was a hard and busy life, and they should work hard to get food on the table. As 17 years old died his father, and Harald was therefore left to himself. According to the residents at Rittnor's port was Harald often alone and he kept mostly to himself.
Around 483AER happened then the event that made him known throughout Falleentium. As a 65 years old and worn man, was Harald out in the Southern Ocean and fish as he had always done. But due to a storm, he came off course and sailed further south. When Harold gained control of the boat again, he discovered what he later would be known for, the southern continent. When he got back, he told what he had seen, but no one believed him, and people called him crazy. But a year after decided the Falleen Government to investigate the matter and send a few ships off on the long journey. The government founded the first southern colony and named it Port Anderson, in honor of his achievements. However Harald never set foot in the new country, because he died of disease 8 days after the proclamation of the colony. At Port Anderson's square today, is there a memorial for Harald Anderson.
