## History

The Imran are foreigners to the Twin Isles. A great disaster which destroyed their homelands forced them to flee through a massive magical portal to an unknown land. They arrived originally in what is now North Imher. When they arrived, the Skrillig empire covered most of the plains of the Twin Isles. The Imran people sought refuge in shadow the Emerranda forest. From there, they built defensive forts and started building infrastructure for agriculture. Over many decades they pushed the Skrillig out of the Southern Isle completely. However, their conquest did not end there. After having established treaties with the Desmer and Urael, the Imran headed further north, across the Stormwash channel purging the Skrillg from what is now the Glory Lands.
