Vatain (People)

Vatain is a common name referring to the people inhabiting the continent Vatain. Generally it refers to the humans who have resided there for the past 400 years.

400 years ago, the now Vatainians, fled from a southern land in search of a place they could call their own. After months of sailing and rough seas, they landed on the western coast of Vatain and founded the first city, Chorach, on the coast. They continued traveling inward, gradually expanding and founding more cities over the next 100 years, including Dachau, Vachin, and Vorch. Vachin, set deep in the Durca Valley of the Vachinae mountains, quickly became recognized as the capital city of Vatain, and was fortified as such.

Over the course of the next 200 years, the cities of Tas, Vas, Noch, Avash, and Totah were founded, spreading the control of the Vatainians across the entirety of the southern part of the continent.

Nowadays, Chorach and Dachau are the primary centers of civilization, being the largest, while Vachin serves mostly to house the government and keep peace with the dwarves and orcs.
