History of Lustria

The Norse adventurer Losteriksson, son of Lost Erik, was the first Old Worlder to land on the coast of Lustria and survive to tell the tale. After trekking inland in search of tresure, Losteriksson and his men left Lustria as rich men, only to return and settle down where they first landed, naming the settlement Skeggi, after Losteriksson's daughter, the first human to be born in the New World.


Many centuries ago, before the discovery of Lustria by the Norse, a trading vessel from the Old World was caught in the fierce currents off the coast of Araby and swept into the swirling waters of Ulthuan. The wrecked ship was washed up months later on the eastern shore of Lustria. Though most of the crew had drowned or starved, a few still moved - not quite dead, but not entirely living either. For one of the passengers had been a vampire, who emerged from the rotting hulk to found a new realm of Undead in the New World. He then placed a curse on the oceans that would draw ships off course and sink them, once the crew was dead he would ressurect them and have more undead servants. After centuries of this, the vampire had amassed enough undead servents to wage war on the lizardmen. This page is a candidate for speedy deletion, because: it is patent nonsense. ...
