543: Shipbuilding
Previous to Clip's accidental discovery of the Isle of Frost, common thinking on Er held that the island was the entire world. Of course, the discovery of another land mass (and lousy adventuring potential on Er) sent adventurers into a frenzy. Boatmakers became rich overnight as adventurers demanded boats at any price.
Lumber was already a precious
commodity on Er and the nearby island of Drun was covered with
it. The first group of colonists arrived at the future sight
of Tacken in late February. Tacken remained Er's biggest colony
until Sual passed it in 602.
