Origin Stories

When creating your character, it's important to remember that Throal opened its gates only five years after the Elemental Clocks stopped -- and had been sending out scouting parties even earlier than that. Theran Envoys won't arrive in Barsaive for another 29 years. The Earthdawn had returned after its yearlong voyage having only opened two Kaers, and then failed to return from its second voyage. Contact with the world outside of Throal is essentially nonexistent, and all characters should have grown up in the Throal Kaer unless otherwise listed here.
While there are populated areas near to Throal where Namegivers may have survived in Kaers, this is a game of exploration. If you desperately want to play a Cathan/K'Stulaami/Tamer/Serpent River T'Skrang/Blood Elf/whatever, let us know and we'll see if we can seed a few rumors allowing PCs to explore and "unlock" those regions of Barsaive.
Notable Throalic Settlements:
Iceclaw Moot
Established ~Rua, 1420 T.H.
The Iceclaw Moot has resettled their ancestral home in the Throal Mountains but remain under constant threat of Horror Constructs. An Adept from this village would have grown up in the Throal Kaer.

Borgan's Rest
Established 15 Raquas, 1420 T.H.
A group of Humans from the Throal Kaer have formed the hamelt of Borgan's Rest near the Coil River. The town is still more tents than buildings, but members of all Races have flocked to it from the Halls of Throal since. They have a boat.

Merrith
Established 25 Doddul, 1421 T.H.
Another group of Humans from the Throal Kaer are attempting to resettle the area once controlled by the Cult of Raggok.
