Tangle Discoveries

In 1110, a group of primitive humans were discovered living deep in the Tangle Wald, an inaccessible forest far from the main Tarsan settlements. These turned out to be the descendants of a Sword Worlds petroleum mining colony that had been established in -104 only to be abandoned to its own devices just two years later when the outbreak of the War of the First Rebellion led to the collapse of the Sacnoth Dominate. Evidence found over a century later at the original colony site led to the erroneous conclusion that its last survivors had died off around -60. The Forest People, as they are called, were declared wards of the Tarsan government in 1113.
