Unload the Wagons

Finally, our travels across the Cleave has yielded fruit! We have come upon a stretch of land, fertile and rich, secluded enough that one may hear their own thoughts from the yammering and chopping of wood and clanging of hammer to metal in the settlements to the south. And the waterfalls nearby, such a sight to behold! The traders of the outposts warned us of the dangers of the Cleave, but I see now they sought to keep us from the unblemished land – here is where we will make our mark, found a claim, and build our homes. We have seen little else but bear tracks in the area, and while numerous, we have not seen their owners since our arrival. I must ask: Why has such a stretch lain untouched for so long? Why, it must have been awaiting us - and we are thankful for nature's gift. We shall unload the wagons and put the timber within to good use! -Ealderman Wincroft
