Inspirational text: From Dorastor LoD p5. "Kalasmas the Settler saw the opportunity in this wilderness, and moved to Dorastor with a large following in 114ST. His writings describe the elves he found in the western hills, including the "Awakeners" from Dragon Pass, those charged with waking up all the elves and dryads who had gone to sleep during the Great Darkness."

The players would take on the roles of settlers and companions of Kalasmas, perhaps his children Gadmus, Benks, or his daughter, or a dwarf named Kobri Flapear, perhaps a Dryad. To make the setting fun, there would need to be some conflict to resolve, so I'd go for a bit of Elf-tension with the xenophobic Poisonthorn elves, perhaps with Barkuli the Satyr god. Not sure exactly when Bloodstone Fort was built for them by the dwarfs, or who built the Tower of Lead. Not that the Spiders do not appear in records from the First Age. With a Pendragon style timeline, and perhaps multiple generations one could have: 114 Initial entry to Dorastor
