Firston

Firston, formerly First Town, is a city on the peninsula of Adâllon. It is the largest human settlement in the Three Lakes Region and sits on the North Western end of Ceth Lake.

History
Second Age

Founded by a group of human settlers during the middle of the Second Age. It was originally a peaceful village that slowly grew in both populous and reputation. Skillful humans were able to create bridges, ships and roads and increase the range of their influence.

The villages scattered around the Three Lakes region would flock to do trade in the walls of First Town.

In the early years of First Town's existence as a port city it saw leadership pass from one good man to another, but a young son of a nobleman sought to make his homestead a premiere state of power and authority.

He rose through the ranks and when the King of First Town died with no heir, it was Ceth who was selected to rule in his stead. A conflict arose after trade dealings with the neighboring elven villages began participating in confrontation with humans in the surrounding area. Ceth took this as a sign to arm his people into a militaristic power.

Ceth proved to be both a clever politician as well as a prominent war leader as he strategized small troops of men to run the elves back to Errïand. The final battle in the War of the Lakes took place upon the Field of Shattered Swords along the Red River.

Returning to First Town with victory, glory and the bounties of war along with him, Ceth fortified and expanded First Town, renaming it Firston and began demanding fealty of nearby City States.

There was a civil uprising in Firston during the middle of the Second Age and a group of criminals were exiled from Firston and subsequently established their own city years later upon Silver Lake.

Third Age

In the early years of the Third Age the power of Firston waivered due to an ongoing drought. A plague followed and wiped out a good amount of the population and for a time Firston became an isolationist state.
