Firiona Vie

An elven outpost on Kunark, named for the hero Firiona Vie, established after centuries of failed attempts due to froglok raids orchestrated by Venril Sathir and subsequent Forest Giant assaults.

Overview

Several centuries past, the first landing by elves was made at what is now Firiona Vie. However, the elven forces were slain within a single year of their arrival by froglok raids orchestrated by Venril Sathir. Two hundred years later, the elves landed again in the area. This time, they were able to resist the onslaught of froglok assaults. However, a new enemy reared its head in the form of the Forest Giants and the fledgling outpost was once again destroyed with the elven troops either slain or sent sailing back to Faydwer.

For another two decades, the elves would abandon their attempts to land and successfully establish an outpost on Kunark. When the kidnapping of Firiona Vie, heir to the throne of Felwithe and champion of Tunare, reached the ears of King Tearis Thex, the orders were issued for the elvish army to return. An army of immeasurable proportions arrived to fend off the frogloks, although the giants are no where to be found, their internal strife occupying the entirety of their meek attentions. A fort is erected and named in dedication of the champion that had inspired their success – Firiona Vie.

Adventurers, mercenaries and frontiersmen arrived on the shores of the new outpost, led by Galeth Veredeth, Firiona's mentor and a seasoned knight of great prowess. The growing town was fortified further and began to trade with a more peaceful Forest Giant tribe in the Dreadlands. A grand, enormous statue of the outpost's namesake stands in the center of the octagonal courtyard – a gift made of mithril and white marble from the dwarven sympathizers of Kaladim. However, the outpost is not yet complete as the continuing froglok raids have kept the residents too occupied with the immediate threat from their neighbors.

This outpost has an active dock where the Maiden's Voyage, the magnificent Koada`Dal vessel powered by the unrivaled magic of the elves, takes adventurers to and from Kunark. The outpost continues to welcome adventurers in hopes that they will aid in quelling the threats that lay in the lands just beyond the outpost's walls.
