How old is Ft. Aralan?

The basic setting of the game is colonists on the edge of a vast unexplored world in a fairly isolated colony. Sort of like Jamestown or Plymouth in early America. Remember though that those colonies came about more than 100 years after Columbus first sailed.

Likewise, there has been some exploration of the Western continent for around 50 years. As I've stated before, Orcs started crossing the ocean in the north 50 years ago. Humans and Eldarin began allowed explorers into the plague lands at about the same time.

But these things take time. Even with magic as a "technology" to speed up exploration and colonization, it was about 3 decades before the first colonies were even started.

At the time of the game, the five chartered colonies are around 20 years old. Ft. Aralan has a fairly large population, and parts of the city are very well established.

As I've said in earlier posts, a large protected area has been established around the city to allow for agriculture. Livestock, grains, tobacco, and sugarcane are produced.
