History
Presumably during the Pre-Cataclysmic Age (see notes), the Valishka was a merchant ship from Auuroghan, sailing with large riches (composted of beautiful Valishkian jewels) on the Nespian trade route, when he was plundered and sank by the pirate crew of Captain Ehestes Rhan, on August 2.
Rhan intended to use his fortune to retire, but on August 5th, the crew, rendered greedy, demanded to keep on plundering the ships of the Nespian trade routes. As Rhan refused, the crew mutinied and clapped him in irons, accusing him of sorcery over it, as they had found a few occult tomes in his cabin (though Rhan denied any dabbling in black magic. Rhan would soon be marooned on an isle west of Grebuhl, which he rechristened Zahrahn, where he would made use of his ancient incantations books, creating the monstrous Children of Rhan.[1]Notes
- The era of those events are never detailed in names or dates, but it is safe to assume that they are set in the Pre-Cataclysmic Age (100,000 BC-18,000 BC), before the Great Cataclysm (which would be the cause of the geological changes mentioned: the ocean's coast becoming a valley of Vanaheim, the isle of Zahrahn ending up in the ravines of Pictish Wilderness, which is attested as being fully formed after the Lesser Cataclysm, circa 17,500 BC). The other possibilities could that those geological changes occurred during the Lesser Cataclysm, or even -more unlikely- afterwards).
