About the IanStorm Alliance The Founding of Iantown There was a time when Sosaria faced great upheaval. The discovery of the new lands in the Great Void had brought hopes for a new beginning throughout the world, and many flocked to this new frontier. However, as with many things, the new beginning also brought instability. Lawlessness and chaos reigned supreme. In need of safety, the people rushed to the castle of their rulers. The foundation of their world appeared to be on the verge of collapse, and tension was building throughout the land. The people were frightened and angry, and mobs were forming. Their world, as many had known it, seemed to be at an end. The safety of the castle proved to be a mere illusion. Its infrastructure was unable to handle the large influx of people and began to deteriorate. These new perils pushed the mobs further and further out of control. Then, in a panic, the mobs brought the castle walls crashing down. What followed was the great sundering. The rulers, seeking to maintain control, fled to the castle of their allies. There they sought to reestablish order. The majority of Sosaria’s citizens followed the old rulers to the new kingdom. But not everyone was so trusting of the new court, however, and wandered the lands in search of new direction. The events of the past were too fresh in their minds. There had been messengers moving around the kingdom in its final days. They told of a place with an odd name, Ianstorm where all would be welcome. They spoke of it as a bastion of virtue for those who had lost their way. Many heard the tales of Ianstorm and sought refuge within the safety of this noble place. Those who migrated to this place found a common bond there. It didn't matter that they came from different lands and had different customs, they all found a brief respite from the tumultuous world. It took little time for strong friendships to be forged. And upon this foundation a community would someday grow. As are many throughout the lands, those who migrated to Ianstorm were adventurers. It was not long before the thirst for exploring once again took hold and sent them back out into the wilds of Sosaria, banded together as the Ianstorm Alliance (I^A). It was a tight-knit but fun and loose bunch from many lands united for one purpose, sharing grand adventures together. Not long after the alliance was formed, a small group exploring the wilds known as Siege Perilous discovered a rare find in a harsh land. On a meadow on the western shore of Gravewater Lake was an area that was fertile and teeming with wildlife. There were a few homes scattered throughout the area, but there remained a large amount of open space. The rolling fields, the sturdy forests, and the pristine lake beckoned them to return to this place. The Ianstorm Alliance adventurers quickly succumbed to the lure of this new land. In this meadow, bounded on the north by the Fairy Woods, the east by Gravewater Lake, and the west and south by the great void, these first settlers staked out the inuagural plots for the town to come in the land of Siege Perilous. The first settlers laid down their plots, and began to spread out with a tavern, a park, and some houses. At the same time, the word spread throughout the Alliance. A settlement had been established, a potential permanent home for the wandering guild. In the days and weeks to come, many more members of the group would venture to this new land. The beauty of the place would quickly turn them from visitors into residents. And so from the first few the area began to grown into a thriving community. The new home of the Ianstorm Alliance had taken root in this fertile soil. Iantown had been born!
