It is often stated that home is where the heart is. The moment I set foot in the lands that I have named Erikos I knew that my heart would forever be here from henceforth. After months of travel my family and I arrived safely and immediately began to explore the region. The lands are definitely rich and, as I guessed, the terrain is perfect for sea vessels to enter and leave.
The first stone towards creating a bustling center of trade were set, an island cleared and made safe, and the foundations for a dock set. Progress will, if all goes well, be swift; I hope to have facilities ready for an influx of people very soon. The city that I have founded I have decided to name Thespikia. Though it carries no meaning yet in the lands of the Empire, it was the name of my childhood village. I hope that it does indeed grow to impressive sizes in my life time, or my next.
It should be said, however, that though harshness has been shown through out the Empire towards different races, all are welcome in the County of Erikos, be it elf, dwarf, human, or any half-breed.
